I got a letter from the GP saying I need to make an apopoitment for my swine flu injection. I threw the letter in the bin. I dont like injections, I haven''t shown up from the normal flu injection yet and it''s almost summer.. :oops:

I got electricity bill. :x

Then I got a parcel from middwillow- cross stitch magazines and goodies and was so excited. I had planned on doing housework but gave up on that idea and read the magazines instead.

I also got a kit i bouhgt, the "" hang in there"" kitty one. So cute :wub:

and aida I got from ebay, the DMC impressions and Zweigart marble effects one and they are so pretty. I think they are too pretty to use. I just like staring at them at the moment.

I order a bunch of stuff from Amazon and it's all getting shipped in separate packages from different vendors so I have a lot of packages coming. Yeah! (it beats bills). The first box arrived and it's a couple of books. Beyond Armageddon and Metropolis. Some of the other packages are cross stitch related, but I'll tell you what those are when I receive them. :D

I got a letter from a recruitment agency I must've signed up with when I was working in a payroll office, advertising a job in a different payroll office. Now, I stopped working in the payroll office (and moved to a GP's surgery, yes I've had some fairly wacky career changes) 6 years ago and haven't heard anything from this recruitment agency in the intervening years...how much money must they be wasting sending out letters to others like me!

5 opalescents, one not, three are "solos" or unique peices, and one is a colour that I absolutely love... now if only I had a phoenix I could stitch up on it, it would be perfect!

I'll get a few pics up

Tom's birth certificate.
I had to get a copy as hubby decided ages ago to laminate the original to keep it from getting damaged, only to discover it's now no use as a legal document. :roll: So we needed a copy to send off with his provisional driving license application.

Kathryn, they sound absolutely lovely! Didn't Midge or CC or both do a phoenix some time ago? They may be willing to lend you the chart!
