or won't I?

Good one Mary

Congrats Mary from tother side hi June all your sewing reminds me of when I sewed for my girls they did ballet & jazz fancy dress being a dressmaker helped but dance teachers dont sew they want the costumes & they have to be just so & done quickly I did tutus I did enjoy it all you name More...

Hey All, bit cold this side of t'country...brrr

brrr agree Mary

Hi All!! d1 is claiming that they must have mixed her up with someone else. I've called the school and they will follow up tomorrow.... Hmmm

Getting my spot removed on 11 July - only a month to wait.. only....

Hope there has been a mix up Suzy.

Broni, will be pulling out a bottle soon... join me?

Suzy that month will go quickly

HI Brenda! I hope so too

for both!

I've got too many tabs open so my always slow machine has slowed to an almost stop...

My dd2 is grinning all the time at the moment. My brother, who is arriving in the UK on the 26th with his family, has asked if Em wants to go back to Canada with them for a few weeks. Well her ticket is booked and she is staying for 4 weeks.....ahhhhhhhhh peace for me

Well shut some tabs Suzy but make sure one isn't SA5

No wonder she is grinning! What a wonderful opportunity! (shhh for you too)

I only have a couple of tabs open and the posts are going through slowly too, so may not be your machine

She will also be able to attend my niece's wedding.
I just hope she doesn't expect to do all the things we did last year. She will have to remember that her Aunt and Uncle have already taken all their holidays for the year and have to work. She will have the company of two teenage boys, one of whom took a fancy to her last year

glad it isnt only my pooter that is playing up

I'm down to only SA5 now, so we'll see how it goes. My mother has just called...

wow !!! .. lucky daughter Brenda

Suzy, my mother is finishing off my ironing..

#2 son is eating his dinner.. he has uni exams at 6.45pm this eve.. it is just turning 5.00pm here

The 'fancy' will probably go away when they spend lots of time together.

ROLANDA!!!! You just want to turn me green!!!!

Ro, wish your son luck from me!

Good luck to your son in his exams, though I am sure he will be well prepared for them. I haven't got any ironing YET...just started feeding the machine, will need to get it all sorted before Friday this week

sorry !!!
I swap mothers if you like..
mine can do your ironing etc..
yours can paint my fence

How many weeks holiday do Canadians get? Only 2 weeks in the US... 4 weeks here

Good idea Rolanda, but how about we swap AFTER Mum paints my shed, then we both win!

Hopefully the 'fancy' will go away as Em didn't really 'fancy' him in that way. She spent a few days with them last year and enjoyed his/their company. Trouble is the way they carried on with each other I could see something coming of it.... they were not all 'lovey dovey' but playful bickering... I may have been wrong but they were good together

they don't get too many holiday's in Canada, but my brother and his wife are taking unpaid leave so they can have three weeks here. In the UK we legally have to have 28 days holiday, but that can include all the public holidays of which we have 8 days

I'm trying to remember how old Em is. Is she old enough for the 'something' to be something to worry about?

At present I get 30 days but very rarely take all of them... that's the problem working in a family business. Richard is so busy we have to take time off when we can

We have 20 days plus public holidays, if you have the type of job which requires working on public holidays (hospitality/nursing etc) you usually qualify for extra pay on those days, but not for extra holidays.

Em is 17 (going on 30), but not something I would worry about. I doubt she would go down the same track as the niece who is getting married in August. She is 17 too and has a 4 week old baby.

Stephen said to say thank you for the good luck wishes

time for me to go and fling the rest of the tribe dinner

Have a good evening Rolanda

Enjoy Rolanda!

OK back Suzy from having needles stuck in me and ready for that drink! Hi Brenda, ready for the cruise?

Ready and waiting Broni

Perhaps having a niece her age with a baby is a good thing - helps her to see the down side and make her careful!!
