Hi I have sent a pm. I am really looking forward to this, it is the first I have joined in with. I am a bit worried about the budget as things in England are a bit more expensive than in the States and we NEVER get the type of reductions you all talk about. However I am a canny shopper and am looking forward to finding out about my secret swap so I can get shopping (and making)

I had to work at keeping him from crawling into my bra (goofball). I guess he really like a warm cozy place.

Wow you nursed a squirrel back to health! You are too good. LOL There are many squirrels in my neighborhood because there are few loose predators. They have eaten through my roof rafters many many times; they bed in the gutters around my garage; pregant females nest in my doorwells and they generally are a constant nuisance.

One day when my cat was a wee young'em & we were sitting outside, he tried chasing a pair of courting squirrels up a tree but he didn't get far up the tree. The male squirrel had the audacity to came back out and look at us as if he was challenging us. I thought what cahoonas (sp?) this male squirrel must have. Some days I wish there were a bird of prey or two in the neighborhood just to thin the squirrel population out. One falcon stopped through but didn't stay long.

Oh well, I know I never would have nursed one back to health. You are so so kind. Smile.

Only a few more days to go before we find out who our secret pal is...won't be long now...and the newbies are going to love this. What fun it is getting all the treasures and surprises ready - I've started but now have to wait until I know more about them so I can add some things they mentioned on their data sheet. Of course when I see a deal I hop right on it and get the same item for me too!
