Morning everyone

And Welcome Olive...

I agree with Kiwimade, try before you buy and look at a step up from basic too. Also consider second hand, from a proper sewing machine shop.. I've had my second hand Janome for around 25ish years and its still going strong.. It had been traded in on another machine and had a good service history.

And dont forget to get a decent pair of scissors while your shopping.

Ill never forget getting to sewing classes in "Form 3" when we started college. Had to start on sewing lines on paper.. and then our project was a 3 layered frilled skirt. I did mine and my friends one... She got higher marks than I did lol. But we were both top of the class. Id been sewing since I was very young, before my father died so younger than 9 anyway.

OHH you lucky thing lol.. not . Some people have no idea how to do these sorts of repairs but think cos they are a man they can do it better than a woman lol...... I have always asked and learnt to prepare myself for the time when I dont have a bloke around... like Now lol... But My Stepfather taught me and then MrP.

I had the Best day ever yesterday... OMG the changes to the big suburb they are building at Paerata is massive.. I need to go through again but Not driving so I can take it all in. Soo many 2 story town houses popping up everywhere.

I went on a Cat food Crawl, not as much fun as an oppy crawl or pub crawl lol.. And only managed to get Missy's Kisses. But she is happy with that.

I was in and out from the mammogram an hour before my appointment... and in and out of the cardiologist 30 minutes before my appointment lol.
The Cardiologist was Very happy with me, Ive lost 17 kilos since my heart attack.. Woohoo..!!!! and I doo feel great.. he was a little annoyed tho that it has been nearly 10 months since the heart attack and I should have been seen much sooner... but I now have a year off lol...

I did ask him about using some anti-inflammatories for my arthritis, he said I could use the cream but would need to test my bloods every couple of days. Being that driving to the lab hurts my knee I've decided that's a bit of a catch 22 and wont bother.

Was sitting last night with a Hot hot water bottle on my back and a cold one on my knee lol... Nuts but it helped lol

Got home in time to eat and call MrP at our normal time. His pain was back again... He didn't have a follow up visit from the Dr and they haven't done the bloods yet... Ill be asking at the desk on my way in this morning.

Have a fab day everyone
