except for my scissors. Can’t find my scissors. Or my ball of string. Or the bead book that explains how to make lizards (which is what I need the string for, so maybe that’s no bad thing). I don’t have baking to take, and I’m not taking resources (kind of hard to pack up a school 
) so I will be bringing wine and yarn crafts. I’ve got about another box full of games and kids crafts and books, and then it’s going to be running clothes through the dryer. The fact that we don’t have to pack bedding and so on might mean we’re still ready to leave just after lunch, which is my target.
This time tomorrow I will have wine and be with friends, it will be fine.
Before then I will have course pulled all my hair out, got lost and various other bits, but there will be wine (one of my most enduring memories of holidays is arriving at Kessingland for Layla to greet me with Pimms with strawberries in it…mmmm….) and it will be fine.
Jax, my mum started to teach Buttercup to knit today. Buttercup will be bringing her embryonic doll scarf, and my mum has given her instructions to find you if she needs help!
Your scissors sound alot like some of my tools.
oh bum, have forgotten to think about knitting and crochet. will tell girls in the morning … oh, it is the morning … aargh!
I have the bead book – shall add to the pile.
all small (and medium and large) children with knitting patiently cared for
(although I’m really hoping that Tbird is bringing her knitting as well and will give me instruction on use of dpns and magic loops 
)
I found my scissors, safely where they were meant to be in the pocket of my knitting bag. Obviously the last place I looked!
Sarah, aargh at what time????
Kirsty, excellent
don’t do magic loop but will do how to do circular knitting on 2 circs with you when we manage to catch up with each other!
