He's quite good at waking DH up. 😹

WreckTangled · 28/09/2020 07:22

It's meant to be 18° here today.

Dd is in one of her lovely moods Hmm

Woolly I messaged you let me know if you didn't get it!

TheWoollybacksWife · 28/09/2020 07:53

I did get it, thank you Wreck. I've got to finish a square for Woolly Hugs and then I can sort out my parcels. I'll let you know when it's in the post but I'm optimistic it will be lunchtime today.

Today is Christmas cake making day too

The Merejka charts are a good size Fluffy. This one is on 2 A3 pieces of paper and after your JC ones I'm sure you'll be fine.

Similar here lachy. DH and I are hoping to buy a house so have been clearing / sorting / decluttering and I can imagine his face if I brought something Christmas related into the house.

I've still got a date in my calendar to sign up to the Readly app so I'm hoping to avoid buying Christmas magazines this year.

Enjoy cake making woolly.

I'm sat at my desk with so enthusiasm to get started today. DH has a stressful meeting today which effected his sleep last night. He was fidgeting / sleep talking which he hasn't done in ages so neither of us slept well 😴

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 28/09/2020 08:21

Yes they aren't small fluffy. Mine is on 4xA3.

pussycatinboots · 28/09/2020 08:24

I may have to buy this one.
And it will be all your fault.

😉

That is on my want list boots

pussycatinboots · 28/09/2020 08:45

most, I am going to need more walls.🤦🏻‍♀️

WreckTangled · 28/09/2020 08:54

School bus didn't turn up so had to do a last minute school run. Now my head is banging and I suddenly feel sick. Hopefully a coffee will help

NoWordForFluffy · 28/09/2020 09:28

That's lovely, Boots. I'm already short of walls! 😂😂

4 x A3, Most? The JC ones are 2 x A3. This could be large! 😂😂

Morning.

I'm trying to get the gh mag but when I go through tcb it'll only let me sign up for 6 months. Awk well I'll try again soon.

CrazyBaubles · 28/09/2020 09:34

That's lovely puss!

Hope you feel better Wreck

Fluffy I forgot to say, my pattern is on both sides of the 2 pieces of A3 - two for the main pattern, two for the details / back stitching.

I'm procrastinating spending 5 mins to try and think of something for DH for Christmas. He loves Hiking - any ideas? He's so hard to buy for!

NoWordForFluffy · 28/09/2020 09:42

New socks? Torch (head variety)? Kendal mint cake? New fleece? Laces for his boots? Hat? OS maps? Hip flask? Normal flask? Waterproofs? Wainwright's books?

I'm sure my cross stitch will be fine. It'll keep me going over winter and spring!

How weird re the TCB Neros.

I think I went through the link and then searched special editions. I'll remind myself and report back!

WreckTangled · 28/09/2020 09:48

Neros I'm having the same issue there's no search function on the Hearst website so I can't type it in and can only see the subscription. So weird.

NoWordForFluffy · 28/09/2020 09:54

I just tried and found the same as you, Neros. Weird! Maybe it was a loophole (it's not eve tracked for me, so likely won't happen!).

NerosFiddle · 28/09/2020 09:57

Wreck and fluffy it's strange. I suppose they wouldn't want to give us £6.50 for something that doesn't cost that. Thought it was too good to be true.

WreckTangled · 28/09/2020 11:39

I don't suppose anyone's dh has a fleece or jumper from the north face in a size S or M? I don't know what size to get dh. He's very slim with massive builder shoulders and arms 🤤 Grin

pussycatinboots · 28/09/2020 11:46

DH is tall and has long arms - if I get him a medium in anything, it looks 3/4 sleeved.🤷🏻‍♀️

NoWordForFluffy · 28/09/2020 12:23

I'm sitting next to a NF fleece of DH's (6'1" and also a builder!). It's a large.

OP posts:
WreckTangled · 28/09/2020 12:34

Dh isn't tall. 5'8" or 9"... he wears a 28" in jeans...

NoWordForFluffy · 28/09/2020 12:43

What does he wear in t-shirts? DH needs L due to shoulders, not bulk.

OP posts:
WreckTangled · 28/09/2020 12:46

Either a s or m depending on which shop. He rarely buys anything though really. I've just looked at a superdry t shirt and it's a small as is his next t shirt 🤔

NoWordForFluffy · 28/09/2020 12:49

Can you get both and check the shoulder width on receipt?!

OP posts:
WreckTangled · 28/09/2020 12:50

Not really I'm pretty poor Grin maybe I'll go with a medium as he does like to layer up
