Re: : THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

Morning

Some light powdery snow here - the kind that looks pretty 😄
Very cold though.

Daughter OH and Grandson have set off to drive here and say the roads are fine and pretty empty 🙂

CG - thought of you - I've seen pics from your part of the county with loads of snow - just frost & ice here.

Think its our coastal strip thats snow free - though Felixstowe has some 😞

Not fair - I wanted some today. But not tomorrow as I've got a hospital appointment 😞

😞 @ Merlins dead lappy. Not tried an ipad but I have posted on here via my ipod touch and its ok.

Is your appointment at Ipswich hospital hippy?  Bring some containers with you and you can take some home.  We're about two miles from there.:^O

It's gone quite dark here. Might mean rain or snow on the way.

Re: : THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

morning, we had no further snow
did anyone see the  ipswich foot match last night on the news -  very white, they had to stop to clear the lines a couple of times  lol

Merlin  hope you can sort something with the app for here, hopefully there is a fix for it
lots of people use twitter on the ipad

Re: : THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

Good morning 😄



All candles extinguished 😉



Is your lappy repairable Merlin, I was going to say its not a good time for it to breakdown, but its xmas and you could always ask Mr Merlin if he thinks santa would be happy to provide a new one 😉



I did wonder if the ipad was any good, but i wont bother looking at it now 🙂



Hippy are the Gloves quick & easy to knit, daughter mentioned she would like some, so thought i would give it a go, just some plain ones, i looked on favecrafts site but couldn't get my head around the pattern 😞  can you point me in the right direction please 🙂



Maggie how are your bits this morning, I Hope your taking it easy 🙂

Re: : THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

A bit battered here but feeling ok. Damson want's to go out but I am not chancing it. She will have to make do with the garden again.



I bought some lovely PJ's in Yeovil. Washed them before wearing & they are too small! 😞 Not sure if they shrunk as I tumbled them & it says to not tumble. Really disappointed.:-(

Re: : THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

I would just open the door and let her roam in the garden for a while maggie, it wont hurt to miss a day or two, just till you feel safer on your feet.



Re jimjams, take them back saying you dried them on the radiaters, and hope to get away with it 😉 failing that pass them onto someone you think they will fit with a clear warning not to tumble dry 😉



I cant say take it as a lesson learned, as i chuck everything in the dryer, on a lower setting if i'm unsure, unless its pure wool or angora mix 🙂

Re: : THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

Merlin you can take it back saying its not suitable, i think you have 7-14 days to do so, they may throw a wobbly but if its not right or what it says in the advert, you have your rights, which i'm sure you know 🙂  if you got it off the internet phone them first to let them know, i think the cooling off times are longer with internet, not 100% sure, but i would certainly try, £ 500 would go a good way towards a nice lappy 🙂
