Hello lovely Lotters,
It been a busy day clearing out and selling to give my christmas fund a bit of a boost. i'm pretty pleased that I now have enough put aside to buy the girls a bike each.
Plus i got ahead on the housework which means i can crochet the day away until it's time to take my niece to see her mum in hospital I'm working on two sophies Universe Blankets at the moment and havent had much time to spend on them over the last week. so a yarn day is well overdue.
I hope you've all been well over the last day or two. sorry it's another waffly post fingers crossed I'll have something interesting to say soon :D

@kevin1877uk I've never measured them to be honest. This is the my first one it sits nicely on top of a double bed. one of the ones i'm making now is for a kingsized bed and the other is for a single.
only 5 parts of this left to go now. I think I'll be at a bit of a loss when I've finished.

i am glad that you figured out some money to buy bike for both the girls. i am now figuring some money to buy a gift to my friend in US Hey do you know what will be the courier rate for international shipping?

international shipping can be hugely expensive but it depends on the company you use and where you are sending it. If i'm buying gifts for a friend in the states I usually order online from an american shop and have it delivered to them.

@rahulvsmokiee you would have to get a price from a company near you then. I hope it isn't too expensive for you.

Lol, i did exactly the same until recently a friend put me on to the Kon Marie method. It's changed my outlook and my house.
