Our own virual pub and cosy corner to chat about all things woolly and crafty...and other random woolliness. Smile

how exciting Trin!
I wasn't part of the making of yours, sorry, but I know about your loss(es) and I'd like to send you a belated hug anyway.

TrinityRhino · 24/03/2014 17:51

Please don't apologise for not making part of mine

Thank you for my hug :D

yegodsandlittlefishes · 24/03/2014 18:09

Unmumsnetty (((((((TrinityRhino)))))))

How exciting! This is the first time I've read about a woolly hug arriving (I wasn't sure, but I had envisaged it being accompanied by Justine, Pistey and Woolly on horseback with much fanfare and gin.)

Have a wonderful evening Trin. Grin

yegodsandlittlefishes · 24/03/2014 18:10

And Flowers too.
And some Wine while we're here.

ZingSweetCoconut · 24/03/2014 18:14

Great image yego!

and Trin wearing an ermine cape?Grin

TrinityRhino · 24/03/2014 18:26

Thanks everyone

there was a little fanfare in my head :D

but no justine, just an awkward delivery guy trying to get a signature from a teary rhino Smile

no wine thanks, nearly 22 months sober now Grin

yegodsandlittlefishes · 24/03/2014 18:50

Wine It's hot Ribena (sorry, that's probably as crass as telling a vegetarian cook 'it's a quorn burger, don't worry!' Blush)

Thanks for letting us in on the arrival. I'm going to out myself a bit now as I'm compiling a woolly hug for someone on another (very small but international) forum and will be posting the finished creation to someone in forn parts and so I am more than a little nervous excited and interested in how it is done the Mumsnetty way.

yegodsandlittlefishes · 24/03/2014 18:53

And apologies to knottylocks I don't know why I keep thinking shw has woolly in her screen name. Blush

TrinityRhino · 24/03/2014 18:59

yegodsandlittlefishes · 24/03/2014 19:40

thank you

TheWoollybacksWife · 24/03/2014 19:51

I'd have been up for delivery duties Grin - not sure about the horse though. To quote Robert Downey Jnr in Sherlock Holmes "Horses are dangerous at both ends and crafty in the middle".

yegodsandlittlefishes · 24/03/2014 20:48

Maybe you could be tooting a trumpet fanfare or being the bearer of the woolly hug, woolly.

TrinityRhino · 24/03/2014 20:53

I was wrong

I'm so sorry.

NO ONE IS A TWAT!!

We heart you Trin [hearts] [hearts]

Yegods - we do try to deliver by hand wherever possible, Knotty and I have met many of our lovely and inspiring recipient families, we have visited folk at home, met in London, and lovely lemon truffles came to me just before Christmas. We would have absolutely loved to meet Trin but she is too far at this time, so it must be couriered. We love the couriers as we can track the Hug every point of the journey!

Just waiting for the UPS driver right now, Trin the van will look like this, and if your driver is anything like mine, they will be wearing SHORTS

RatherBeOnThePiste · 25/03/2014 11:44

And UPS have just collected it, tis on the way Trin xx
