Re the yellow dress mystery: there WAS an MLP sewing machine, & I think the UK may have had it. Perhaps a yellow dress could have been a pattern to sew???
Otherwise nothing seems to fit...

Didn't take the glass out yet, but can do that later. Tomorrow maybe.
Did hit the outdoor gym on Sunday & Monday.
Coffee on Tuesday, was fun. Got some messages done & then the outdoor gym.
Wednesday I crashed out & took a day off the gym.
Thursday, had a shower, started on laundry, went to the Lidl town, got some stuff including from Lidl, got home, hit the outdoor gym.
Feel quite sore today. Might have overdone things a bit, plus the peeling of my feet went too far at one point. So taking a day off the gym & doing more laundry.
Knitting progresses, working through Youtube, chilling out wi Netflix.

Ponyfan that's a relief!!! I feel sorry for the writer being taken advantage of like that
BC I know lazy days all too well xxx
Artie it's not yet brummle (as we call Blackberries here) season for us either. I HATE balloons popping so much!!! Glad your little one had friends to calm them xxx Yeah crowds & unpredictable toddlers can be a bit much, but still fun, especially when a gentler child needs a break & sits with you to learn about your favourite things (sharks in my case) xxx And glad the swim was good too xxx
Invader enjoy the fruit picking!!!

I have all three. Twilight was the last to show in FLD, along with a keychain & some blind bag pin badges. I bought three of the pin badges & one was a double. It's gone into the box I STILL have to send off...

Still arguing with myself over wake & sleep times. I see another crashout looming!!!
Anyway, there was a coffee morning on Saturday, different to the usual one but still some of the same people, & it was actually fun, with plenty of food too!!! I put in a good bit of money to get in & ate enough & drank enough to make that worth it!!! There were also a few stalls & I didn't do well at one, but there were assorted bits & bobs for sale at the other, for assorted budgets. I'd only brought a little so I got a few cheaper items.
Later I went to the outdoor gym. I finished off the day with more knitting.
Today I made it to church, & got some fruit to take home after!!! I heard there the Saturday had raised over £18,000!!!
Later I'll hit the outdoor gym while taking the glass out, then when I get back it's the plastic bin which needs out...

Oh BC xxx  :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Didn't feel like that on Wednesday. It was raining & I woke late & by the time I realised I hadn't been out at all it was too late!!!
I had a few little things on Thursday & they got a bit messed up. First, I had to be up as the charity shop van was coming & hands were needed to load up. I was a bit late as the person I'd given my number to called rather than texting, but somehow I still managed to show up about halfway through the loading.
Then my support worker was due a visit. She's decided to cut back as I'm "managing" aye right!!! Normal 50yos have jobs & families & still manage to do a load of stuff. I get tired from sitting around most of the day!!! Perils of being not normal I suppose...
Finally I managed to go out for going out's sake. There was meant to be coffee at a different venue than normal, with maybe bingo. Turns out it's mainly bingo, with hardly any coffee & no food. Gave up on that, hit the outdoor gym because at least nice weather, & bought a stuffed crust cheese pizza from the Co-op as I've never had one before. It was good, & big enough to only need half of it.
Today I woke late, despite wanting to go out to a town... Just so tired really...

Glad your relative is there so you can enjoy & have her help with the baby xxx

Artie sounds like a good, relaxing day!!!
Squirmy yep it has been quite warm here too xxx
BC those pesky ants!!! They must be coming from somewhere!!! And I feel you on needing the rest xxx

Saturday I showered & did a load of laundry. Knitted some as well & put up more shelves.
Sunday I slept in so missed Sunday morning, but still managed outdoor gym. Knitted a load & got the card out.
Monday it was all I could do to get the card bin back in & pick up the post, aside from that I was 99% napping, the rest eating a bit, knitting a bit, & chilling with Youtube.
Today however I made it to coffee morning, & heard our thrift week raised over £2000!!!  :accomplished: :frolic:
Then did the outdoor gym, then the Co-op for quick messages.
Now catching up on knitting & sorting the post out

Shame that mean-ness to sharks was such a thing in the 1980s... Aside from that, cute xxx

In fairness, these were wayward sharks who had abducted the Sand Shaper! :)
Hopefully good sharks helped him xxx

Seconding the Brush & Grows. Also, can we have some art featuring Ponies not sold in the States??? Hopscotch & her pals, the Mountain Boys, Nachtlicht, Regentropfen, Baby Applejack, Baby Bowtie, & Baby Hopscotch's friends are a few who spring immediately to mind.
If you want to do G3s, I LOVE the Super Long Hair Ponies & would adore more art of them.

Bad manager!!!

Support worker had an emergency so I didn't get to see her. Still made it to town, picked up sleeping bag, got some fun bits & a couple of helpful bits, including a pair of trousers, ate at a cafe, then home. Dropped off the stuff, then went to vote & hit the outdoor gym. I do see others use it but I'm mostly lucky in that regard.
Today was black bag day. As it is the last day, we give folks who come in a binbag (they're usually black) for a charge (today it was £3), then the customers go round every table & pick out what they want until the bag is full. I went early as I have things I use the day to get. I got a few DVDs, some books, a couple of useful bric-a-brac items, some socks, & a load of tshirts & some sweaters, among other bits.
After we closed to customers came the real work: packing away what was left. We put a small amount of toys to our noisy coffee for the children, some baby & child's clothes for Homestart, & somebody comes to pick up whatever books & DVDs interest him. Then everything else goes to a charity shop we're friends with. All the clothes & stuff get bagged up & boxed up, the hangers get stashed away, & the tables get folded down & stashed, except the ones we need for Sunday. It's a lot of work, & we have to move all the bags & boxes into an organised pile in a back room. As I'm nice & big, I can move a lot of stuff, including big tables. I noticed a type of clothing nobody was working through & did that for a good bit.
It was done very quickly, considering, as each of us did our own bit, then pitched together at the end.
After dropping off the stuff I bought & picking up the post, I went to the outdoor gym for today's session. Tomorrow is my day off, & I don't intend on leaving the house. I've also knitted & used some stuff I bought to help with chores & organising my kitchen.
I love chilling out with some knitting & some Youtube!!! The knitting is progressing well.
