    Nice idea Suzi but I can imagine she (Jaq's mum) won't take the hint.

    So, do you wait before making the tea? Perhaps finish the job you’re jobbing?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I often tell her not right now. It just gets frustrating when it feels like she's waiting for me to move so she doesn't have to move herself.

    I maybe should have split the bathroom into 2 days. I've needed to use my wrist splint on my left hand today. It's making cross stitching awkward!

    I sympathise, I've made my wrist sore too.... Cross stitching is definitely easier without wrist splints! lol

    Have you managed to get much cross stitching done? Resting?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Well you can tell what it is now!!! So yes, resting. My thread kept knotting and I was starting to get to the launching it at the wall stage so settling down to read "Fire and Blood". It's the history of the Targaryan Kings and is really interesting so far!

    You can buy thread wax which coats the thread a prevents it knotting fraying etc. Normally it’s used for metallic threads as they tend to split but I can’t see why you couldn’t use it for stranded cotton thread
