  1. yes 2 different people, they both no longer have any coffee and their blood pressure is within normal
  2. DH has a couple of friends who have had to give up coffee because it was causing their high blood pressure
  3. Well after DH driving 7 hours to buy the car and 3 hours on the way home the new car stopped working. DH just rung me to tell me. He said he is super glad that just a few moments before he had pulled off the freeway cause he wanted to stretch his legs. Cause the car just died completely He didn't even know I was playing the glad game and he is participating.
  4. A little shirt for my grandson . It has sparkles but they don't show in the photo
  5. DH just bought a new to us secondhand car. We can be glad that it has more legroom for backseat passengers as twins are both almost as tall as me.
  6. Now that is something to be very glad about
  7. We have a king parrot the peers into the window to check if we are watching first. then if he thinks the coast is clear starts eating the apples in the tree near our door
  8. I am very glad for you that your specialist are pinpointing the problem I will be feeling glad thinking of your children having a snow fight in a few days
  9. Sea shells..I have them in a basket. I have bigish ones on the windowsill outside
  10. So glad I am so ill and have to sit all day because I can do lots of sewing So glad I need to lie down every afternoon for a few hours cause now I will have time to crotchet a flower cardigan. Once I master crocheting while lying flat. So glad to learn new skills
  11. I think I really need to be playing the glad game Care to join in? I am glad the car motor packed it in because.... Having trouble with this one So glad the washing machine broke after I had washed the sheets. So glad DH is clever and can fix things. .. but when he plugged it in to test it there was an almighty bang... So now I can be glad.... Um...... To get a new one maybe? Though that doesn't feel like I am playing the game .. Please help me to be looking on the positive side. A very old lady once gave me some great advice. Life is all about having the right attitude, makes it better for everyone including yourself
  12. Wish we had pythons. We have heaps of native rats and heaps of snakes, but all venomous ones , tigers, coper heads, and red bellies. Mostly tigers
  13. I hae leaned over the years that I can only be responsible for sorting my belongings, not DH things. If he wants his shed to look like an episode of hoarders could be filmed in it than that isn't my problem. And he has learner that I like a clean house. If he dropped a "almost clean" shirt on the floor. Well it gets put on the laundry by me. .. no argument on almost clean things not needing washing are necessary. Basically we have found a sort of harmony
  14. 1 huge garbage bag of rubbish from twin 1 room. But I really can't count it as purging. I help him do this just about every week. He is a horder of cardboard. And once he has it in his room he cuts it up and makes huge piles with it. 3 things into opshop bag
  15. If you spread it all on the floor how will you reach into the middle to baste or pin?
  16. Could you use cardboard to put on the table and make it more rectangular? or cover a bed with cardboard to make a more solid surface?
  17. Well I decided to cover it with scrap fabric ..was so much fun I might do some more re-covering of old shopping bags
  18. I had this recycled plastic shopping bag, the type the shops were handing out when plastic was banned. It was worn out, the sides were ripping and there was a hole in the bottom
  19. I am probably doing it all wrong, but what. I use is the dining room table. I let the backing hang way over all the way to the floor but have 2 edges about 2 inches over the one side, part of the top and the left side edge then do the same with the wadding. Matching to the same left side edge and top. Then put the patchwork top on top of everything, making sure the top is level with the edge of the table on the left side .so 2 inches in from the edge of the wadding and backing Then I use safety pins, starting from the middle of the table and working out. And pin all layers that are on the table. When that is done I gently pull the whole quilt so the left side is now hanging way down and all the quilt to the right is now on the table. And pin that side The biggest I have done is a king size I have a cardboard sewing mat that I put on the table firsts I don't scratch it with the safety pins. My helpful phone is adding random full stops
  20. Had to go to closest large town for appointments and was hoping to go op shopping for all the goodies hopefully others had purged. But the op shops are all closed for a couple of weeks
  21. I don't plan as such. I collect fabric based on specials or what I find in the opshop. I then stare at it for a while and think. Then an image forms in my mind of what I want to do with that piece of fabric and I cut it out.
  22. I was not correct. There is a 5 metre Tsunami hitting an area right now https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01-01/tsunami-warnings-issued-in-japan-after-earthquake/103277706
  23. So far there has been an over 1 meter Tsunami and they are saying there could be more up to 5 metres
