Good Idea Di

Someone seems to of used their head and got the temporary staff in quickly so hopefully things should be back to normal relatively quick.

It looks as if they have just taken anybody on though as temps.
It was in the papers that people with criminal records had been taken on
without any checks. It's dodgy for parcels.

Maybe you did in some, but not in mine lol.

That's bit of a worry for some then Steph. Sooner the regulations get changed so other companies can offer letter postal service the better, some competition would be a good thing.

I'm not surprised at what did or didn't get done last PINKY time as I was a bit off.
Well recovered now though.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did you all get the new list in your last PINKY please let me know on this thread.

I did. Am hoping mine will turn up tomorrow for you Nona but if your post is anything like ours has been it may take a bit longer.

OK Helen I will hang on to the for an extended date swap. Keep your eyes on the 1st post on this thread.

4 PINKYs arrived today girls - look at the 1st post on here

2 PINKYs arrived today girls - 1 signed for - look at the 1st post on here

Well they are all here now so, I will sort next week as my DH has a Hospital trip and
we don't know how long a stay. That is, after we ring up tomorrow to confirm admittance of course!

Thrifty, you will have my cousin drooling over your ALHA-2Ns as she is into the type of ATC craft you have made.
I bet she will now wish she had joined in and I will be sure to tease her this afternoon when she visits me, ha ha.

Helen, I love your 'mock' brads, what a super idea.
The rest of you will have to wait to see them, I love opening these PINKYs, I never know what surprise is waiting
for me to find.

Glad they have all arrived now Nona, although that is bad for Karelyns as she sent hers recorded delivery.

Only one day late isn't too bad I guess. Glad you liked them :)

Glad they arrived, aargh don't show your cousin they're not too straight, I would have liked to do completely them by hand but time got the better of me and I got the machine out for the backing.
I sent them recorded hoping that would keep them at the top of the heap rather than get buried, it seemed to work, so good stuff.

Too late Thrifty she loved them as she uses machine embroidery and hand sewing techniques all on one item.

Lucky I'm not likely to meet her

Di, and everyone.
Nona's ATC Themes - Quartly Swap Lists info.
I will put up my theme list every quarter on the same thread.

Thanks Nona!

Here are your ALPHA-2N ATC's


Info coming later
I will try and get them sorted and posted tomorrow but DH has been in hospital for an op. He is now out but needs
a lot of nursing due to being paraplegic.

Mine is the first one on second row Nona (butterfly etc).
They all look lovely.

Hope his recovery goes well, don't rush about too much yourself!

This is quite fun, I'm guessing it's titled Nature, Di.
We will gladly accept them whenever they get here Nona, you take care of both of you first and foremost.
Mine's the bottom R one marked K. I'll let you work out the title.

Needlework?
Nearly there with mine - Nature's Beauty

Yes, you're right, I'm happy with halfway there LOL
So, Nimble fingers, with nedle and nails, Narnia, Nature's beauty, (not a clue, just yet, still happily puzzling), numbers, numbers
needlework, ? , ? notes perhaps

Mine is the third on the bottom row - Nonsense Rhyme
(The Owl and the Pussycat)

Mine's the one with SD next to it it's...Next door

All PINKYs posted this afternoon with P.O.P.

lol, clever idea Sue.

Very clever - I couldn't think what it was. I bet that one foxed Nona at first.

Yes Steph, it did but nNnNot for long. Like it, it's a beautiful stamp and a quirky idea.

My pinkie just arrived.
I have Nona's Nimble Fingers, Helen's Naughty but nice and Karelyn's Needlecrafts.
Thanks ladies, they are smashing.

Mine arrived today, what a nice surprise, I have; Sue's Next door, Cynthia's numbers and Natalie's Just a note.
All lovely and all nice and tactile too, thank you girls, and Nona, hope you're both surviving and not too exhausted.sp?

Glad your PINKYs are arriving girls

Thrifty, yes thanks we are getting by OK but it's hard work. No back-up such as district nurse or anyone else offered. No check up for 6 weeks. Chucked out of hospital with no info. Poor DH has Just my hit and miss nursing skills to put up with.
Unfortunately I can't do any alterations on my patient. The nursing staff, sugeon and anesthetist were all excellent and gave good spinal care as well, (I labeled both of his shoulders with permanent ink before going in). They did listen to me, well they didn't get much option.

Mine have arrived I got Steph's Nonsense rhymes, Di's Nature's beauty & Nona's Nimble fingers, thanks ladies they are brilliant. I'm always amazed with what you all come up with.
