Are there any objections if I use the leftover wool from the Edgar and Rindercella blankets to make something for Blondes? I've got loads! Anyone with leftovers feel free to pm me about either sending it on or sending more squares :)

Yep turned up in a depot minus packaging! Wankers!

Next time the fund will have to pay out for petrol and I'll take it myself

Suitably attired in corset

if I can still get into it

providing I can drive in 4 inch heels

and I don't terrify the recipient

I missed the saga of Edgar's blanket Shock. So glad it's turned up.

I posted my 2 squares this morning, so they should be with you tomorrow or Thursday.

Pidj, I may have a plan for an alternative delivery. I'm thinking Olympic torch style!

KnottyLocks · 24/05/2011 17:31

Pidj, may I say how very impressed I am that you managed to tone your language down on this thread.

The PM was blinding! Grin

LittleFish, they aren't ParcelForced are they?

purplepidjin · 24/05/2011 17:34

One is fully aware of how to behave in public

I'm bored at work feeling shit ill with no alternatives in sight. Sorry if I offended you

I like the pass the parcel idea Grin

Take more than that to offend me, my lovely Grin

Sorry you're feeling a bit ropey. hope you feel much better soon.

Now, what the hell are Parcel Force going to do about our blanket?

RatherBeOnThePiste · 24/05/2011 17:50

Where is this blanket now?

KnottyLocks · 24/05/2011 17:56

Pidj said MissP is on the case. It was on its way to her so that she could give it to the Edgars at the meet-up on Saturday.

Thankfully, because we'd taken photos, they could identify it. I dread to think how dirty it could be. They are lucky I'm no where near them.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 24/05/2011 18:02

So you don't need me to retrieve it from a dodgy warehouse at Heathrow then? That's where our parcelforce stuff always end up it seems Hmm

KnottyLocks · 24/05/2011 18:04

That could well be the place...

Take your pitbull Grin

RatherBeOnThePiste · 24/05/2011 18:07

...and the tassels ? Hmm or would that be overkill? Hmm

mistlethrush · 24/05/2011 18:20

I can do you some woolly tassles if you want them Grin

RatherBeOnThePiste · 24/05/2011 18:27

Aw, I am so touched I think knitted tassels with my burlesque outfit is the way forward. Bless you !

KnottyLocks · 24/05/2011 18:29

You're on, Mistlethrush. We need Team Tassles. Er, can you add anything to the wool to make em perky like?

Piste, it would certainly be arresting. They couldn't fail to notice you.

Right, Olympic Torch Blanket for Blondes Plan is well underway.

A pox on Parcel Force (after we've collected our blanket)

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/05/2011 18:34

didnt reliese edgar blanket had gone missing Shock

im happy for pisty to deliver, but would prefer a sexy naked male to do it

KnottyLocks · 24/05/2011 18:40

Atta girl, Blondes Smile

I'm afraid we're all out of hunks: 'burly-esque' is the best we can do Grin

hey Mistle, fancy trying to knit a couple of hunks too?

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/05/2011 18:41

hmmmmmmmm, how about poofy men?

smokinaces · 24/05/2011 18:51

Piste and I are planning some boozy sunday lunches with Blondes, so we can surely deliver. Blondes, no sexy naked men sadly (if there were I would be jumping them!!) Wink

I havent done mine yet. Mum is coming here Thursday to help me. If I really cant do it I will send the wool on to someone else to use.

purplepidjin · 24/05/2011 18:53

Anybody fancy organising a relay for rindercella? Hers is pretty much ready I just need to sew the ends in...

OP posts:
KnottyLocks · 24/05/2011 18:56

Where do we need to get it to?

smokinaces · 24/05/2011 18:57

Either SW London or NW Kent, whichever is easiest relay path wise.

smokinaces · 24/05/2011 18:58

(doh, meant that for Blondes!) Am happy to help with Rindercella's if i can though

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/05/2011 19:02

I'm west Kent - is rinders near me if she is nw Kent?

KnottyLocks · 24/05/2011 19:03

Smokin, I've sorted Plan A for Blondes apart from tiny details.

Now, focus needed. Rinders Relay.

KnottyLocks · 24/05/2011 19:03

Nah, Blondes. Smokin is not, iyswim Wink
