Awwww Maddie, thats a superb pressie! I guess you'll be quiet for a while getting that lot burned onto CD now lol

I feel awful. I knew my mum had knitted me a jumper (black aran, not too bad lol) and put a toy in for the cat, but.......when I phoned her last night I had only just got in, and just unwrapped it and got the cat playing with his toy, but hadn't actually taken the jumper out of the bag to look at it. I told her I had and that it was lovely.

But..........when I took it out this morning, another box fell out, and inside was a silver chain braclet, with a silver heart pendant, set with diamond and sapphire, and on the back is inscribed, Daughter, I was never so blessed as the day you were born. It's beautiful and made me cry.

I'm going to have to ring her this evening and apologise.

I always wanted one of those sewing machines, but the cheapest is £4000.....a little too much for a hobby, I'd need to do it as a business lol

I think this lady does stuff like club shirts and the like so maybe her cost more than domestic ones,

,,,but they now have all mod cons on them,just turn dials and away you go,,,!!!

Framed pictures of my god-daughters that make me giggle have to be my most emotional present!

But of course my best friend, still managed to make me cry with a Brown Box...... She always says its not a Diana event without the regulation Brown box...... its a Gucci brown box and inside was a pencil case for when I start my studies! Love her!

An Email from my Son whom I had no contact with for many many years with photo of two of my grandchildren.Nothing could be Better. **M**.

I had lots of lovely things but 2 of my best are a diamond bandsaw and temperature controlled soldering iron! So now I'll be able to cut all sorts of tricky glass shapes and solder them back together as really fancy stained glass things.

I've come down with a nasty flu or bad cold so don't feel like doing anything with any of it at the moment! :(((
