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 :)

Rinders blanket is amazing and I'm so honoured that I'm going to have one

And PP showed me a square with a bear on it and a little knitted bear which made my eyes water

Such love goes into these blankets!!!!

Thank you xx

I think I am meeting you too Pidj (for a blanket swap) in the not too distant future??!!

If so, please don't feel you need to try to teach me any crochet, because I am so awful at crafty things, and quite likely to be far worse than Blondes!

Anything looking hopeful Pidj?

purplepidjin · 30/05/2011 21:09

A new charity starting up, not much else. Have sent CV - they're looking for part timers on bloody good money but doubt they'll want me Hmm

Don't be defeatist, think positive. Of course they will want you.

purplepidjin · 30/05/2011 21:23

Cos I've spent the last 3 years changing jobs to try and find one that suits me. In the process of which I've lost nearly £2 an hour despite gaining experience and qualifications! And because they're offering twice my current rate Shock which most likely means I'm deluding myself

OP posts:
RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/05/2011 21:26

Righty-ho, when we meet up for the Great Blanket Swap 2011, forget you attempting to teach me crochet, I shall be giving you a pep talk on positivity!!!

then maybe you can show me one crochet thingy, I don't want you to huff again!

You've sent in your CV, so that's a big thumbs up, now it's a waiting game, when's the deadline for applications?

purplepidjin · 30/05/2011 21:37

Yes Ma'am. Thank you, Ma'am. End of next week, Ma'am
