Hello again. Lewis and Lisa moved into their house a week ago, due to a misunderstanding by me, we didnt go down to help them unpack, we sat patiently waiting at home for them to pitch up with the van so we could load it with stuff stored at our house. What should have happened was for us to meet them at the house, unload the van then up here to load up again. Oh well, things can go wrong sometimes. Thay have a really nice house and have set about adding their new furniture and are going to put down new wooden flooring. So all is well. Also, good news, Lewis had been taken on to the permanent staff at the place he was temping at for the past 3 mths. He is well "chuffed" as they say.

I have been very busy making things for my friends xmas. I have even made my own patterns for things and have been pleased at how they have turned out. All pics of these will go on show after xmas, otherwise it wouldnt be a surprise for her.

Just wanted everyone to know that my mum completed her 100th Munroe on her 70th birthday , she too is well "chuffed".

I have been on holiday from my work this week and been in the garden cutting down some of the shrubs, lots more to do but its pouring of rain today.

Went to the boot fair on Sunday, didnt get much, but got a brand new mitre saw for £6 a real bargain. Also got some free range eggs and lovely potatos.

This is a twig tree I made to use instead of a xmas tree, I now have it on my stairs with a lovely crow that I got as a gift.
Stewart is now going to the hospital to have the dressing changed just once a week , I know a big difference in the scarring, it's healing up so well, its amazing how good the surgeons are these days. Im hoping he will be able to go dressing free soon. Once its healed he will have PDT on the area to zap any left over rogue cells.
A lad in my street, Neil Fachie, is competing in the Para olympics, he's a sprinter, if you see him, cheer him on! He suffers from night blindness and is so bad with all the stadium lights, he's literally running blind.
Thats all for now,later...x

Hi Diane; here is a link to Mandie who tells about changing up your blog;
http://lifeinthecraftlanewithmandie.blogspot.com/2008/08/how-to-change-your-blog-template.html
If you look through this it may help you make sense of the blog craziness and if you ever wanted to add things or change things this will help you do that; Jenn at Bittersweet Fixins N Primitives changed her blog and it is fantastic! I am trying to figure it out myself; Mandie has free blog wallpaper and graphics on her site that you can use; she is very generous; well; have fun; talk to you soon; Merrie ( ps Murphy is recovering from his itchy spell; he needs to go back to his old dog chow; he had his glands done which helped, but I believe it is his food as he is still despite meds having fits!) Hope your furbabies are well; what is a Munroe?
