THWARTED!!!!!!!!!

P.U.S.B!!!!!! P.U.S.B!!!!!!

By the sound of the match report, Sheffield Wednesday were the better side but "HEY" they didn`t put the ball in the net and WE did so wutwoo and yippee and WEYHEY! 3 very welcome points for the Sky Blues.

It was a great tonic after what has been a frustrating week.A week where I haven`t got very far fast.I`d got my sewing machine back and was eager to get cracking on my stockings again so nipped up to the market for more red fabric only to find Cooper`s closed..apparently Cooper was on holiday. The totally unhelpful lady in the butchers opposite kindly informed me ("kindly"???)that she had opened up his stall for him but ONLY until 3 oclock and it was NOW half past and she wasn`t getting paid for it and it was only a favour for mr Cooper and yes she had the key but no she wasn`t opening up again.(Temporarily thwarted)(it gets worse)

I eventually DID get some more fabric from somewhere else and got cracking again..the newly serviced machine purring and sewing like a dream...until..OMG OMG OMG it suddenly started sewing on its own. SMOKE WAS POURING FROM THE FOOT PEDAL!!! OMG!! OMG!! Quelle Horreure.

THWARTED!!! But more worryingly could I have set the house on fire? Mr Singer-Fix-It says its not serious and IS repairable so fingers crossed as Ive got half a dozen half finished stockings.. (and plenty still on the cutting table) and its nearly December.
