Hello all, where has the day gone? Bought a couple of valance sheets in England but your beds are higher than ours so I decided to shorten them with my machine. Damn thing, it wouldn't work, so I had to rewire the plug, fine, then it all bunched up at he back of the sewing, messed around with tensions and finally and messily did one of the sheets, not my best effort but ok, second one a disaster, machine conked out (tension) 1/4 of the way round. I fiddled and kicked it and nothing would get it to untighten itself, so decided to do it by hand. Blumming 'eck it is long and getting longer, have given up 3/4 of the way round, will try machine again tomorrow, am totally fed up with it. Wish I had kept my little hand Singer, it never let me down!
Thanks for offer of knitting shaney but I am going to conquer and win. Will do a 3" approx strip of ribbing (2x2) til it's long enough and then sew it.
Hija and amigo came up for his laundry, she was very sharp but he thanked me nicely. Have tried to cancel my mobile phone contract, which involved me digging out the fax machine from under the bed, plugging it all round the house until I found that it worked in the kitchen, and hopefully sent Vodafone a fax which they will deny! I shall miss my mobile internet but it is an unnecessary luxury.
Mr N has said that whenever either sister needs me I must go to them and then added , that I could go now if it would help them!! He means it'll be cheaper here without me, cheek!!!
