websites - grrrr!

Well the cakes went down well - and I even promised a lemon curd version next time - ooh er!  The sewing class went well and we were given our homework - next week is half term so we don't have a class.  Having made 30 squares and quilted 8, I think she's imagining that I will have made all 49 and quilted at least half of them - we are beginning to finish the quilt when we go back - help!  On the plus side, Wendy bought me a piece of beautiful fabric - I have just the project in mind and may make it over the weekend!

So - onto today - a very dull and dismal day!  Mine started with an eye test - I am now supposed to have one every year but wasn't due to have one until after the summer.  However I wanted some prescription sun glasses to read and drive with so I thought that I ought to get them checked out.  On the plus side there was no change in vision, on the negative there are 4 sets of glasses to pick up - two sets of sunglasses and 2 sets of normal glasses as spares - I have tried to colour code so that I know which ones are which but!!

After a mooch around several shops -including Dunelm where there were a number of items on sale that could be used for a certain someone's advent presents - it was time for home and a catch up on the sofa of the soaps from the last two nights.

So - why the title of the blog you ask?  Well I tried to file an online tax claim via the HMRC site - you can never get though on the phone so I didn't try - and, quite randomly, there appears an error message when you press continue.  Now I know why they allow you to save it and go back to it!  I'm just worried that they allow you a month's grace to finish it - does that indicate how long it will take you I wonder!

Right - off to empty some more of the craft room!  Keep warm everyone.

  2. Pleased the cakes went down well, they did look lovely. I was 'inspired' to make one. I decided to make a large one, it is in the oven as I write. We visited Dundelm last Saturday and managed to get some 'Red' presents for Christmas.xxxxx
