Ages ago I used to go to Rosemary Conley Slimming classes where a weekly highlight was listening to the class assistant read out the random assortment of notices in a monotone drawl.... When they were particularly (and unintentionally) hilarious I used to scribble them down in my 'Weight Loss Diary' for future amusement. One week's entry read:<BR/><BR/>"Well done to all our losers this week, ladies, and especially to our Slimmer of the Week. Don't forget that theres £1 off the NoFat cookbook at our bookstall by the door, please leave the hall by the side entrance this week as the Brownies are practising their line dancing in the foyer and for your information, I've had a call from Sally at Channel 4's Wife Swap who'd love to hear from any ladies suffering mid-life crises or weight-related marriage problems for the next series".... you have to love 'em for their effort!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-39133417799590778122008-04-16T21:14:00.000+10:002008-04-16T21:14:00.000+10:00What a beautiful sewing box!

My sewing box was made by my Dad about 50 years ago for a family friend. When she died about 10 years ago her son phoned and asked if I would like it. It came complete with old bobbins, buttons and other bits and bobs. It was like opening a treasure box. <BR/>Cheers, Eileen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-2248476777644940502008-04-16T07:54:00.000+10:002008-04-16T07:54:00.000+10:00lol - gee and I thought you'd jump at the chance t...lol - gee and I thought you'd jump at the chance to be on Wife Swap :) They obviously hadn't read your blog if they thought you'd be remotely interested!Kezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15915193876879614644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-4107032506208333792008-04-16T07:02:00.000+10:002008-04-16T07:02:00.000+10:00Hello everyone!

When I replaced the lining, the bottom was padded with the entire front section of the October 28, 1957 Denver Post. Cost 5¢, "Zhukov fired from Politburo - Party Chiefs Summoned to Kremlin" reads the headline. Inside, the 1958 Chevrolets and Ramblers have just come out.Sadgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01953324909028095434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-54371170054184656382008-04-16T06:32:00.000+10:002008-04-16T06:32:00.000+10:00Wow, what a beautiful sewing basket, I wonder wher...Wow, what a beautiful sewing basket, I wonder where you sister found it, she must know you very well, what a perfect present for you.
