Mel's Sunday Update

I have the flu and I have a migraine and I'm shaking with a fever and I feel awful so I'll keep this brief before my head explodes ...

I have loaded pics of Teegs lovely RAK of book, card and floss in my RAKS album.  I adore the personalised signing and the book is fabulous.  If you haven't read this series yet - you must !!!

I've also loaded a WIP pic of the Party Cat I've been working on.  Its in its own album.

  Debbie so kindly RAKed me with this one, and seeing my good news a little while ago, I thought a simple bright boldly coloured stitch was the way to go.   As you know I still had the flu (which is *why* I'm stitching it on cardboard Aida - well that's *my* story). I then lost power and telephone for a while, so I was dark and cold for another six nights.  I can't stitch by torchlight when its too cold to feel my fingers.  So most of this progress was done in the past few days.  And of course getting caught out in the rain again in the past few days (and getting soaked to the skin) and losing my electricity again last night (it came back on around lunchtime today) means that the flu/cold has come back with a vengeance.  I'm shortly having some dinner and going straight to bed. 

Presents from Debbie

Hi all,

Once again its been a while between posts.  Work is, shall we say, back to its cruddy political normal self {sigh}.  I worked really hard last week defending myself and my staff from my boss and in the evenings working late into the night to finish off Dogwood Square.

So ... surprise surprise ... this week I've come down with a really really bad viral flu!  So I've been off work since Monday night coughing and hacking and mucus-ing the world. 

I also got rung up and offered a job interview tomorrow morning.  I am sooo sooo crossing my fingers that I get this job.  I'm also sooo sooo crossing my fingers that I am well enough to actually get to the interview tomorrow and can answer their questions with something approaching coherence!

Well in amongst getting ready for that, I dragged my sorry arse off to the post office for the first time this week and in amongst all the bills I found a RAK from Debbie.  She sent me three cat charts from Kappie Redeux that I absolutely adore !!!!!

THANK YOU SOOOO SOOOO MUCH DEBBIE !!!!!!!!

{I wonder if I could justify starting Party Cat after my job interview tomorrow - it *is* supposed to be The Castle week this week}
