I love Facebook but am tight on security, if I don't know who you are, you ain't getting in (at least if you have friends in common I recognise that's fine) but what's with random people trying to add you who have absolutely NOTHING in common... ah well. I love it because I can keep in touch with my...

My Nana taught me, she was always baking at the weekends when I stayed... I remember cooking Scrambled Eggs for my Granddad while standing on a stool because I couldn't see over the cooker :)

I suppose in all honesty it might actually be a good thing for people with little or no money to be able to buy things gradually over a few months though... that's the only up-side I can see and with money becoming even tighter lately it seems the Christmas stuff in the shops is becoming earlier... ...

I've already seen all kinds of Christmas stuff on sale here... puddings, mince pies etc... I was a tad shocked I can tell you! It's getting out of hand now I think!

I love pyrography, saw it in Cornwall years ago when on holiday and bought myself the kit soon after... can be done on leather too... great fun, might grab a photo of my OH's battle box for medieval re-enactment and post it later :)

Please don't use them near skin (as jewellery, clothing etc) they have in some cases some very nasty, toxic chemicals on the actual tape and that's never good

Welcome back

Oh blimey... do we ever!! When we were having a clear out before moving, my OH threw out so many PC parts that were out of the ark it was unbelievable... he also breaks everything apart to pick out bits for making robots with...
