Sort of Ho, Ho again. Christmas QAL post 3

So Mr Fixit comes home, I start cooking the potatoes whilst whingeing for England (and wee're talking gold medal standard moaning here).  I walked past Bertha to go and bring some washing in, and try turning the wheel on my way past, still with no luck.  By the time I've got the washing off the line, Mr F has gone to Bertha, turned the wheel, and guess what?  Yep, it turned.  So we ate dinner, then I went to try Bertha, and she purred away like a very contented machine.  I have therefore managed to finish the quilt I had on the frame this morning, and taken it off, so now I'm ready to put the Festive Mystery on tomorrow.  I can't do it tonight, Mo Farrah and Tom Daley need my help!

  3. Glad Mr. Fixit has "the touch". Better than no one in the house having it!

  13. I guess Bertha is scared of Mr Fixit! Sooo you were also jumping up and down screaming at the TV when Mo crossed the line then :-) Tom didn't do so bad either, that smile never left his face. Hugs x
