You havent done much today then lol

[Hollyrafe]

I don't know! I love this mountfield house, I really do, but the poor thing is sat on the table and I'm looking and staring and nothing is coming to me! I havent touched it since the other night. I cant see anything about how I want to do it. I think I've got that thing you had the other week Chris, just dried up and no ideas. Poo.

[Winston's Mum]

hee hee yes Amanda surely you could have finished it in between lol

[Marilyn]

Naughty Holly you cant say poo on here, you will get smacked legs

[Hollyrafe]

Thanks DM I got it from that sparkly wifey thingy!!!

:rolleyes:

What the heck is a sparky wifey thing??!!! Sounds like lingerie you put on when you want something!! lol

[Hollyrafe]

Hi Holly,

Sounds like you have the cold that is doing the rounds at the moment, like Chris. I had it 2 weeks ago. Wish you better soon.

Ann

Thanks Ann. I dont know what I've got but I just feel run down.

[Marilyn]

I don't know! I love this mountfield house, I really do, but the poor thing is sat on the table and I'm looking and staring and nothing is coming to me! I havent touched it since the other night. I cant see anything about how I want to do it. I think I've got that thing you had the other week Chris, just dried up and no ideas. Poo.

Perhaps it would like to sit with mine

[Ann of Boleyn]

I don't know! I love this mountfield house, I really do, but the poor thing is sat on the table and I'm looking and staring and nothing is coming to me! I havent touched it since the other night. I cant see anything about how I want to do it. I think I've got that thing you had the other week Chris, just dried up and no ideas. Poo.

Hi Holly,

Turn it's face to the wall and work on your 1st one. As you walk past Mountfield you might imagine what is inside because it is not staring at you.

Ann

[Marilyn]

What the heck is a sparky wifey thing??!!! Sounds like lingerie you put on when you want something!! lol



something you want to share Holly

[Winston's Mum]

I don't know! I love this mountfield house, I really do, but the poor thing is sat on the table and I'm looking and staring and nothing is coming to me! I havent touched it since the other night. I cant see anything about how I want to do it. I think I've got that thing you had the other week Chris, just dried up and no ideas. Poo.Ok Holly, its just a glitch. You need to put it away, or sit and stare for ages, and ages, days and days, then it will come to you, dont do anything to it until you know what you want to do. Its awful when that happens sometimes i think thats how it goes. Also your not feeling great so you wont be able to think of house anyway, dont worry honey its not a race is it. I havent done anything today either, still got painting to do when i am ready, you know what i do also make a list of what i want and sort out what room i want where try that too. Bless you thats not like you either, hope you feel better tomorrow x

[Marilyn]

Hi Holly,

Turn it's face to the wall and work on your 1st one. As you walk past Mountfield you might imagine what is inside because it is not staring at you.

Ann


But don't imagine there are DOLLIES inside

[Hollyrafe]

Perhaps it would like to sit with mine

Why, cause you want the house or cause yours is sad and on hold too?

[Hollyrafe]

something you want to share Holly

[Mamma Dawn]

[Hollyrafe]

Ok Holly, its just a glitch. You need to put it away, or sit and stare for ages, and ages, days and days, then it will come to you, dont do anything to it until you know what you want to do. Its awful when that happens sometimes i think thats how it goes. Also your not feeling great so you wont be able to think of house anyway, dont worry honey its not a race is it.

[Hollyrafe]

Hi all I have been to my local shop and guess what? they have some of the cottons I wanted and have oredered me some more just goes to show that it pays to shop local.

I went out all day yesterday not good for me with my illness buuuuuuuut! I went to a sue ryder shop in a town not too far away and they had some great things to buy and all reasonable prices I bought quite a bit and it only came to £22.00.

I took my two daughters to DHE today and my eldest one bought the mystery tower she will be on here soon. my youngest felt a bit left out so I have given her my Exmouth to finish.

so all in all a good weekend had by all

:)

[Hollyrafe]

Hi Dawn,
Glad you got your threads sorted! Now you've got the whole family on board-its contagious! lol
Sounds like you had a good shopping day:)

[Mamma Dawn]
