Lets catch up.

Well what a fun time we have been having. Scince my last post we have been busy, what with taking care of our friends three dogs, walking them etc. we ended up with one of them taking up residence for a short while as she got into a fight with the others and came of worse. Resulting in some rather nasty holes in her leg and underbelly. Personally it was rather nice having her around, Robynne got up early to take her out, she also took her out often during the day I think the dog adopted her as she only asked Robynne to take her out. Tho' am pretty sure Robynne didn't enjoy the wet nose in her face first thing in the morning lol.

Unfortunately we never made it to The Science Museum, as well the world conspired against us and roadblocks were forced in our way. Well to be honest we could have made it, but it would have meant leaving one of us behind and even tho' my lovely brother offered I didn't take him up on it. So fingers crossed we will get there sometime this year. Anyway our next outing to the V & A on the 11th April should go to plan.

Then we have the saga of the leaking pipe. Remember I made an appointment for someone to come fix the leaking pipe, well I waited paitently for just over two weeks and then after removing the third bleached towel from under the pipe I rang them again yesterday - well today would have been the third tuesday I had waited for them to come. - So anyway I rang them first thing only to find that the last appointment thay had on file for me was in December when the pipe burst in the first place. Understandably I was a little miffed at the news and promptly requested very politely a new appointment a.s.a.p, so there coming tomorrow after 3pm. Fingers crossed that's the last pipe problem we will have for a good while. Personally I think all the pipework needs replacing along with everything else, but can't expect miracles lol.

Oh and we ended up chucking out the old broken sofas yesterday as we now have some nice cream leather sofas which go so much better with the colour scheme and they make the room look so much bigger ok maybe not so much bigger, but they look good.

My work area is almost complete and we have the frontpage of the website up, we just need to get the other pages links working and to clear out the odd few bits left over from the website template that we don't need. Next job on that is to work out how to get the oscommerce programme to work. Anyway here's our frontpage if your interested Sewing Friend please do tell us what you think and if anyone can explain in simple words how to put the oscommerce stuff in then I will be eternally grateful.

Robynne and her friend Dee have decided to do something to raise money for Red Nose Day this year. So far I think they have got 6 of their friends involved and hopefully we will have more friends joining in too. Anyway here's Robynne's page which gives you details of what they are doing and when.

Oh and does anyone know how to turn this into a button/link to put in the sidebar

Love the site! Well done!

To turn the image into a link,
first write the actual link you need, eg (I've removed the < and > so this should show up here):

a href="http://www.sewingfriend.co.uk" target="_blank"

Then put in the code for the actual image, eg:

img src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Y6PLbSWc9nM/RdHftcNXXXI/AAAAAAAAAAM/wjHhHxrB1W8/s1600-h/title.jpg" alt="Visit Sewing Friend"

Then put your < / a > tag (without the spaces!).

If that doesn't show up here, or doesn't work, email me for the complete code.
