Lol, I'm sooooo embarrassed ... just had a visit from BIL/SIL (our "rich" relations ... lol, he's a retired area district bank manager & lives in a HUGE house & never has a thing out of place :|)  they live 20mile away so don't visit much .... well there was nowhere to sit because the settee was full of presents I'm trying to wrap, dusty boxes of decs from the loft all over the floor, stuff pliled up from MIL's house that we haven't found a home for yet ....the house looks like a jumble sale :8} there faces were a picture, now they've gone though ....... I don't know what  to start on first  :_|

Most homes don't look like show homes 😉

Ours looks lived in - even when I've tidied up!

I like that look 🙂

Re: : THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

Nah - she's just letting Santa know she's been good this year and is hoping for a doggie stocking full of treats 😉

Apparently I am immature & infantile!!

The reason??

I was looking for the christmas mats and I found some rocket balloons and set one off in the front room where the boys are concerntrating on nintendo games!!

Waiting for the veg to boil & I glanced at my Co-op receipt. They had charged me for 3 bottles of wine I didn't buy! I rang the shop & they seemed to be aware this had happened to someone as she said they had done a price check & not voided it! I now have to go back tomorrow to get it refunded. Yes I know I should have noticed by the total but I was feeling a bit harassed at the time & didn't notice.

Re: : THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

I could hear you lot chatting away this afternoon, well, I could hear my computer blinging every time an email came in, and I just knew it would be you lot.:^O  The shopping arrived at 12.50 but it took me until 4pm to sort it and put mine away.  The substitutions weren't too bad, the strangest one being tinned custard instead of tinned rice, but they must be so rushed down there and it doesn't matter anyway. Daughter wasn't so happy with her expensive cheesecake that she got for Christmas, it was eat by today, so hubby rang and got a refund.



That was a lovely wall hanging (but I can't remember who's it was now).  I've never had a coat for Lottie but she never goes for walks anyway.  She gets covered in her blankets at night though, with just her nose out.  She can somehow manage to cover herself up with them if she feels a little chilly before I do it before I go to bed.:-D

Re: : THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

I like BHS. My nearest is 45 minutes away though.



I hope the TV improves over the next few days. Pretty poor tonight. All the Terry Pratchet stuff they have on over Xmas was on last year wasn't it?

Re: : THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

I always have loads of stuff recorded, so when there's nothing on I have something to watch.  I like quiz programmes. Nothing too heavy, weakest link, pointless, eggheads things like that rather than university challenge.:-D  I never watch films or dramas, they take too much concentration.

Re: : THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

I like a good film or drama. Fussy about comedy shows.
