Hiya folks, remember me mentioning the situation I had in my last blog about the electricity going off - twice? Well when I attempted to get myself up on the bottom rung of the steps so I wouldn't have to disturb Peter again, I felt myself going, so I grabbed onto the kitchen sink and it appeared to slip!!!

I realised it was probably not a good thing to do, but I eventually called Peter, because I needed help again. When he came round, I apologised again and explained that I had tried to climb the steps but it caused the sink to move when I grabbed it!! He told me in no uncertain terms that I wasn't to attempt that again. He said for me to imagine what would happen if I fell and not be able to call an ambulance or anyone and with it being so cold, I'd die of hypothermia, as the kitchen wasn't heated!!!! So I promised not to attempt that again and he fixed the main switch again. As I had been cooking supper, I decided not to cook anymore that evening!!!!

Well on Sunday, I don't cook anyway, because Ann very kindly cooks it for me. So I didn't have to go to wash up and didn't notice anything wrong with the sink. Come Monday and I noticed water on the floor near my sink. Still appearing to be totally naive about things, I ignored it all and didn't think twice about it.

On Tuesday Emily came and noticed the water, which had started to seep into the carpet. She looked under the sink and found out that all the pipes had come away from each other and there was a flood under the sink!!!! I rang my insurance company and they said they's send someone to come and sort it out for me, but it's a bad time of year and they are frantically busy. The earliest they could come out was today (Saturday!!). Not one to make a fuss, I was so grateful that they were even coming out and with this plan - I don't have to pay any excess neither - I'm so pleased that they hadn't said no!!!

So this afternoon, a brilliantly funny and friendly plumber came and fixed it all for me. The pipes have been renewed and he even gave me a new plug!!! So that's all back to normal now. That meant that I felt better about things so I started to make more jewellry......

I have told Emily to come and take whatever ones she wants and what she thinks her children would like for Christmas pressies. She does have a son though, and I didn't want him to feel unloved, so I made two key rings for him - he can decide which ones he wants....


Then I made some more kitty things, just in case they liked them more.....







I've got lots of other designs, but I like these for some reason or other, and thought the young girls might like them.

Well that about covers what I've been doing these past few days. It's very cold here - but apparently it's supposed to warm(?) up within the next few days to at least 6C!!! Now where did I leave my suntan cream?????

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and that this next week isn't going to be too challenging for you all.
