With that seal of approval I'm off shopping then! 😃

Sorry, I’ve only just seen your reply. Thankyou so much x

Yes, yes, yes - don't delay we are depending on you louby! 👍

.........if only I had some craft materials I could try designing a logo 🤔, I know! I'd best go and buy some suitable bits then!!! 😀😂

I have so enjoyed reading this chat - what a bunch of weirdos we are 🤦‍♀️🤣 love the idea of a 'club logo' for our balaclavas! 🤣

...... The 'Friday Anti-social Social Club' !!!!! 😂

Isn’t it funny that we all seem to be similar in that respect! Think we will have to get those balaclavas embroidered with a club logo. Maybe the not peopley people club!

I love the fact that so far we are a group of people who don't 'do crowds'. I have just finished a lovely family weekend but am tired! My funny moment from this weekend was on arriving at my parents house this morning my youngest nephew (2 1/2) was just coming down the stairs with the light up magnifying glass my mum uses for reading (I hope she got it back - he was much taken with it). He saw me and said 'Aunty Froglet got dressy, Aunty Froglet go walkies?) Cue much laughter as his mum translated this to Aunty Froglet's got a dress on, she looks nice, is she going out?!

Louby Lou, I am the least social person going. Honestly I avoid social events like the plague! Put me in a crowd or somewhere having to make small talk and I panic! As Sunnyday said, lockdown was right up my street. The great thing about cruising is you can do as much or as little of something as you want. You just pick and choose and please yourself.

This!!!!

Honestly you made me laugh 🤣 I only do 'people' in small doses - those who do not know me well, would be surprised I think as I can be the 'life and soul' of the party or any gathering but only for a very short amount of time...I can remember thinking during Covid lockdowns 'this is made for me' 🤣 although I missed seeing my sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren I wasn't much bothered about a bit of isolation really!

Go you - I really hope that you have the best time x

Thank you for the info. 😊 I'm reaaly torn, I like (love) the idea of only packing once, then worry I'll not like it! I do tend to be on the anit-social side on times though! 😂

We are doing a two week Mediterranean cruise. Going to Spain france and Italy. Going in April. We cruised the Norwegian fjords before and couldn’t make up our minds if we liked this kind of holiday or not. Husband wasn’t feeling 100% so that didn’t help. Anyway we decided to give it another go. So watch this space….

Yes, we need details! We're seriously considering this- only I can't decide whether it would be a dream trip or a complete nightmare for me 😂 (but I do hear they do craft sessions on 'at sea' days! 🤔😂)

Goodness - 5 months already - nothing like a bit of 'Nana love' is there ❤️ Cruise - eh what - just a minute - did we know about this?!!!

Saw the first snowdrops of the year this week and they did make me smile on a rainy and windy day! Just had a visit from my son and Grandson (what a special thing that is to watch your baby become a Dad and see that love develop) He is nearly five months now! Just where does the time go. Going through a slightly grumpy stage at the moment but luckily Nana has the back of getting smiles and then getting him to sleep. Am on countdown now for our cruise in April oh to see some sunshine (hopefully) Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

🤣🤦‍♀️🤣

Not sure that's a good idea! 😳 I am strongly of the mindset of buying craft stuff, and doing craft things are two totally different activities! xx

I have an older brother.... I think our play was more Lord of the Flies 😂 (but I will say I am very good with ropes- knots etc.)

Ah young Froglet - thanks for sharing x We have our Church Snowdrop Teas next weekend, when, hopefully the churchyard will be a carpet of snowdrops... Happy 50th to your sister and happy crochet session with your niece! I love, love, loved Swallows and Amazons too - my younger brother and I spent many happy hours engaged in playing this!

I demand photos! Sorting my spare room (of doom) is eternally on my list and it is mostly filled with craft stuff. At the moment I seem to just be moving it from one side of the room to the other! I went for a walk at Calke the other day and the woods were filled with snowdrops - such a joyous, hopeful sight. They are filling their 'auricula' with pots with all the different varieties they have - who knew there were so many! I have almost finished a second sock - a new to me pattern which had a stitch pattern which required much counting. It's been worth it and I'm inspired to have a go at other sock patterns now. Family weekend this weekend to celebrate my sister's 50th. I'm doing food for Saturday night (just jacket spuds and assorted toppings) and have just finished baking a salted caramel sponge cake for a birthday cake. Apparently my youngest niece (9) is bringing her crochet down for a mentoring session with Aunty Froglet. I showed her some basics when I visited in the autumn and she requested a 'crochet kit' for Christmas so I put one together from a bag I made and lots of mini balls wound from my stash. I'm thrilled she's enjoying it. She is also very into Swallows and Amazons. My brother reads with her each night and had borrowed a load of my childhood favourites from me - she loved Swallows and Amazons and has been playing it - making maps, creating dens under the stairs to be the camp and roping her 2 year old brother in to play key roles! Have a good weekend everyone!

Ah thanks louby - that's just the ticket! How on earth can your grandson be 'almost 3' - I demand a recount! Craft stash sorting - good luck and hope you make room for some new purchases! 🤣

Well, sunnyday. GS almost 3 has finally started talking,still a long way to go but at least his is trying now 😁 I actually think he has an ENT issue - have you ever known a child to NEVER have a runny nose? Even when he'e obviously full of cold- you can hear him sniffing but NOTHING at all from nose! However he does breath through nose all the time 🤷‍♀️ Managed a sneaky schoolday lunch with GD yeasterday she had an 11'c Dr appointment, so out of school at 10.45, and back afterlunch for her. Made a nice surprise for her. Now for the biggest laugh....... I'm planning to sort all my craft stuff this afternoon! 😂😂😂 If I do a full inventory- I'll know what I can buy next! 😮😂 Have a good weekend all
