Hiya Hippychick

Nice to see you on here your posts always make me smile and lets face it we could all do with a bit of a smile now and again.

I'm still getting used to this forum, I like the fact that it works with Firefox which is the browser I prefer.

Well this is a flying visit as I only nipped on the lappy to get the phone number re me new sewing machine order to find when it's likely to arrive. Only ordered it on Sunday night mind you.....my aged one blew up on Friday...I mean LITERALLY There was this sort of hissing sound, followed by a sizzling sound, lots of smoke and a gawd awful pong. Quickly whipped the mains lead out of it whilst yelling for hubby to come and shove the machine out in the garden. It was only a quick small bean bag effort I was running up for him to use as a weight thingy for his new trampoline rig at the sport centre that he wanted to shove on it before he zoomed off down to Plymouth for another diving competition. So....it was HIS fault that me machine snuffed it

NOW...it looks as if me bl**dy tumble drier is about to join it too as it was on for about THREE hours in total yesterday and nothing got dry, not even thin undies!!!! Bl**dy electricals!

Anyhoo, they've told me on the dog and bone that me new super dooper whoopy doo machine should be here tomorrow so I won't have to keep an ear out for a van pulling up to make it to the door before the bloke gives up waiting for me to get there while hubby's out....down at the pool...quelle surprise where he's still tarting up his new dryland equipment and storage....never mind sorting out MY TUMBLE DRIER!!!! Men!!!!! (sorry Graham, nothing personal) Have currently got the back bedroom looking like a Chinese laundry with me free standing camping whirly gig effort overloaded with it all and the rest hanging in the airing cupboard where the heat from the water gismo does dry stuff quite quickly...thank heavens.

Anyhoo, I'm off now to try and take some piccies of some more of hand painted glassware to try and get on ebay today coz they've got another 5p insertion day and what didn't sell last time.....might...this time p'raps along with some other odds and ends. Just gotta try to fathom out what the hecky thump I've done signing up to that Auctiva site which is free and supposed......to make doing listings much easier...ha bl**dy ha...this is ME we're talking about...she with no technowhatsname

Catcha laterz peeps. Gentle hugglies and.....stuff

Hiya Hippy,Great to finally see you,so to speak.
Hope you get along with this forum a bit better than the old one.
I thought of you when I saw how clearly the posts were formatted.
take care and stay away from those self combusting sewing machines.... !

Oh cheers for that Buffs...it's nice to know you were thinking of me

The good news is that me new sewing machine arrived on Tuesday after all, a w-h-o-l-e day earlier than the bloke on the dog and bone said it would, so I can't grumble at that eh? But the BAD news is that me bl**dy tumble drier IS cream crackered.....unless hubby can stir his stumps and take the back off to see what the heater element resembles so we can get a new one of them OR.....I'll just buy a new bl**dy thing! Either way, he's not seeming bothered as to whether or not it gets sorted so...I have a cunning plan........

Yesterday when the weather chap had forecast 'scattered showers'....I DID the whole lot of the washing, including the bedding but then of course, had to be on cloud watch until it was dry! This involved a certain number of emergency dashes, (for me ....read....speedy hobble), but each time I had to do, this I beckoned his nibs to help out........just knew that after soooooooo many ins and outs and battling with the whirly gig, (and me almost knocking his block off a couple of times swinging it around while he was in the direct line of fire), he would be BOUND to say that it was time to get a new one sorted.......WRONG!!!! Looks like I'm just gonna have to do me own internet searching and find one in stock somewhere local, reserve it for collection in store and send hubby on his merry iccle way to bring it home instead MEN!!!!! No offence again Graham.

I've been a bit confuddled trying to navigate me way around on here and couldn't see where the everyday nattering was going on but fear not peeps.....methinks I've found such a place in the aptly named 'fibro cafe' so I'll try and pop along for a cuppa and a natter later.

I doooooooo lub this forum set up though Buffs, as do several other fibromites. It's defo easier on the eye too even though I can't do me coloured writing......I'm happier to be able to shove l-o-a-d-s- of me emoti doo dahs in instead tbh
