I bought 3 sets of Minis from to make myself an advent. This month I’ve joined in with mitre square MKAL. I’ve started one in the past but it didn’t hold my interest. I can’t do random and now i’m i control of colour choice and Louise’s pattern as well as her facebook group cheering in from the sidelines i have to confess i’m a little bit addicted i know I can’t understand or believe it either 😂😂

today Matthew i’m going to be Karen. So far i’ve told a group of men to keep the noise down then i complained about a crashed car that was in a car park been moved to outside out garage entrance. I’m sure if i hadn’t been awake since 3 am with a sore ear i’d just be Julie and tell them all to F off under my breath behind my hand with all the windows closed. But i didn’t and my tolerance level is nil.
