Mumsnet Talk

Yes to show off I usually don't get much done because I'm running after ds!

Excellent, looking forward to it. Better try to decipher a pattern now or I could stick with my wonky scarf!

Yay! 21st suits me too!

Pretty did teach me to cable. She was fab as I am very dim. Biff, can you teach me crochet? Many have tried but I think I am just too dumb

Bring on the cake. I'm happy to eat all the ones that you low carbers don't want. I'm nice like that.

Me too, Hairy - we are so self sacrificing, aren't we!

Lol hairy - I tried to teach my 10 year old dd but she ended up in tears!

I'll have a go at helping biff teach you to crochet, Hairy - we can tag-team.

It'll be good to meet you Biff . One of my New Year's Resolutions was also to make more friends - so we can help each other achieve that! Before last year, the only other Scottish Woolly Hugger I knew was STDG (who I'd met at a previous MN meet-up ) but Hairy and Glaikit are also lovely

I've just "semi-cold" emailed a mum from the rugby club as part of my resolution as we seemed to be on similar wavelengths. Still to arrange a time to have our coffee/wine - but she replied quickly very positively!

Well - you are a lovely person, prettybird, so I am not surprised she is keen to meet up with you.

<lights joss sticks and joins love in> I can only repeat what Pretty and SDTG said!

<< snogs Glaikit >>

Ooh err

You all snogging? i thought that was just us Southerners?

I have the sad handicap of having been born English, Pistey. I am bringing my nasty furrin habits to Scotland.

Aye these interlopers with their exotic ways! Bring on independence !

AIBU to think that, if Scotland is going to be independant, we should do it properly^ and dig a Channel between us and England?

Just build Hadrians wall again!

Where's a Facebook "Like" when you need one

Erm moved up around October (from the other side of the border), may I come too?

Sorry goinggoinggoth! Of course you are welcome to come! the more the merrier!

Phew! Was starting to worry <desperately refreshing page after post>

We decided to move up before you lot shut the border! I can bring a shovel, if you need help?

between you and me I can't see it happening. Devo max maybe, but not full independence. So you'll be ok!

Alas, I cannot do Mondays due to dratted work. Next time with luck, hope you're all well?

I have had an Idea. * Pistey* and Knotty should examine their social diaries, and try to find a window of opportunity for a visit or visits to Scotland - and when such dates have been found, we can plan a meet-up specially for them! Good idea, no?!

Blotted - we'll try to have the next one on a day you can do. Dratted work indeed - do they not understand how important gossipping and eating cake knitting is??

Ooops - bolding fail. Pistey also needs to examine her diary (consult with her social secretary, perchance) to find a date for a visit. 2013 should be the year of the Pistey and Knotty Scottish meetups.

This is the worst part of not having my own craft shop anymore
