Aww thank you Eileen for including me in your list. I've missed the interaction with my lovely blogging friends but I'm back now. and you cheer me up too. You've just made my day so much brighter xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Eileen. It really did cheer me up to see you posting again. As I've said, you have been missed and I'm glad you have decided to continue blogging. xx
DeleteOh - I nearly forgot about Pottery Throw Down. Thanks - I'll check that it will be recorded.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant week you've had. I'm so glad the lesson went well and that you are happy to continue. And I really love that bag . . .
xx
It has been a very good week looking back over it. I'll write more about the lesson tomorrow but I thoroughly enjoyed the trial lesson and have a feeling I may do much better with face to face lessons. The bag is great, a gift years ago from my nephew and his wife, but unfortunately is not waterproof. xx
DeleteWhat a lovely week of wonderful things to be cheerful about and grateful for! A very good start to the new year, I'd say! It's hard to believe that a week has gone by already, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThank Bless, yes it's been a great start to the new year and I'm hoping the rest of the year follows on to be the same. Yes, I can't believe the a week has gone by so quickly! xx
DeleteYour bag is perfect, can't it go in the washing machine, and stay with you longer. We are looking forward to the pottery throwdown, I say we as hubby now loves it too.
ReplyDeleteI has been washed but the stains are there to stay. Unfortunately it's not waterproof and now I am having face to face lessons I need to be able to get from the car to the building with dry music. The main problem is that it's not really big enough for my needs now. I may still used it in my music room, possibly to store accessories for instruments, or it may go to my one of my great nieces or nephews for their music books/lessons.
DeleteHope you enjoy the Great Pottery Throwdown. xx
I decided to sort through my books, bag them up and took them to the charity shop straight away. I didn't allow myself the chance to double check and remove some! Plus I signed up for Gift Aid so the charity gets 25% extra when sold. A good day! Now to tackle my clothes and do the same.
ReplyDeleteWell done of getting some of your sorting done, and well done for not returning any of it to the shelves! Hope the clothes sorting is just as successful. xx
DeleteWell done for adding some more money to your camera fund!
ReplyDeleteAlso good that you took 2 boxes to the charity shop. I have started a new donate box but I need to get started on adding more items. I really need to let some things go.
I can start looking for cameras now and can then work out how much more I need. I'm thinking about getting a mirrorless one this time.
DeleteNow I'm nearing the end of the big decluttering project I am finding it much easier to let things go . Maybe because I realise that I haven't missed anything that I have got rid of.
Lots of good stuff on that list!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susanne xx
