Where have I been ...

... and what was I doing while I was there?  I have been so quiet that I just know you're all wondering.  I've even had a couple of emails from people and a phone call from my friend Bilbo, to check that I was OK. Thanks for caring enough to be worried.

Well, to be honest, I've been around, but very busy.  Every day almost for the past 3 weeks, I've had appointments ranging from hairdresser to Financial Advisors, shopping (food, not Christmas) to waiting for various repairmen to turn up and do their thing. I've also had a few days down south to go to Little Person's school Christmas concert.

Speaking of the repairmen reminds me, we had to pay a call out charge of £91 for someone to come and fix a broken burner on my cooker.  When he turned up, he was not in the house for more than 5 minutes - that works out at £1092 per hour!  I think I was in the wrong business when I worked, I could have earned a fortune as a cooker fixer-upper!

Now I'm back, and hopefully, normal service will be resumed.

    Repair and weather forecasting were never presented as career options when I was in school. Too bad, I think they make much more than a teacher. Glad you're back. Just in time for the last Christmas Quilt Along.

    glad your all good and your cooker is fixed.
    doesn't it seem like stuff like repairs and errands all pile up at once...or do I just sew and ingore until it can't be ignored any more? hmmmm.

    You have been a busy lady. I know what you are saying about all that you have been doing. Happy to here that the cooker (Stove for us) is fixed and that we are hearing from you.

    Have a super great sewing and stitching day.

    Glad you're still alive and kicking! I've been man-down with a bad back this week, as a person with a back I know you will understand my problem :(. Starting to come right now, thank goodness. I hope your back has been giving you a break.

    I actually thought of you several times...but then when I got to the computer forgot to email you. If I could have texted you that would have been so much easier!
    I have missed you and I hope you are back..but if not, I understand.
