Crazy Mum didn't know sister had gone away . Mum phoned me this morning to say that sister was 'arsy' with her last night because she couldn't hear her. I said 'ahh that was because she was away & the signal wasn't good not your fault Mum' . She didn't know sis had gone away, in fact she was flabbergasted that sis had gone and not told her.Hmm l thought Mum knew and didn't say to me deliberately Hmm

Hence the histrionic crying Hmm

They have Orla Kiely material masks in The Saturday Mail for P&P only £2.49 l am sorely tempted to get one or 2 for myself.

That's a beauty Fluffy where did you get that one from?

NoWordForFluffy · 18/07/2020 16:16

Is there a link for those masks, Mrs?

It's from Next. Apparently it was £140 full price, but I paid £35. I wouldn't pay £140 for it!

Marshmallow it's an app where each day you check in and say if you're feeling well or a bit off. If it's the latter they ask some questions and, if necessary, ask you to do a covid swab. It's really interesting and really useful for researchers so I recommend it.

Can only find the Scotish mail linky

Mrsmadevans · 18/07/2020 16:44

35 WAS A REAL BARGAIN Fluffy Smile

Mrs you need earplugs!
I know but it's at times like these that being completely nerve deaf in my left ear helps Grin

This is the only Christmas fabric I can find Fluffy. I thought I had at least one more different pattern but I can't lay my hands on it.
