i'll give it a shot lou

Me too please.

I'm going to give this one a miss Lorraine. My hands are
so painful at the moment and I just don't feel too good .

Will have a think about this one, Lorraine, and hope I get some inspiration - on the basis that I do crafts for pleasure, so don't want to be stressed out by signing up for something I then have to panic about doing!
