Hi Twilight, coalrange usually goes 24/7 until summer (but today i had cleaned it out and hadnt lit it) all cooking done on and in it, washing dried on rack above it. Power bill for water heating this month was minus $1.50 hehe lol
Doesnt get too hot in here, cause its such a big room and then our bedroom opens to this room too so the heat just pleasently spreads out.
In summer we just light it for 1/2 hour to cook main meal and keep water heated.
Sooo what are you going to sew next ??

ohhhh was at docs today and nurse weighed me she was shocked i have put on 2 kilos, told her it was the almond icing, i didnt mention all our cakes in here....people have been put away for less than that hahaha LOL

Awww Liz thats rough you poor girl, your mum is missing out on so much - such a shame. Do you get to have christmas with her or not even that ? Does she spend any time with your little one ... cant even begin to imagine not having time with grandys. Thankgoodness you have your lovely neighbour.

So far she hasn't asked anything about christmas, and she knows it usually all organised by november (huge family) so at this stage, prob no to the christmas thing. She will show up on birthdays, for her grandkids, and maybe we will get a call or a text on ours or even a coffee. But other than that we dont hear from her unless she wants something. Wow look at the time, i must run, gotta get to the movies..

Sorry guys wee non fabric related vent here... Having to rethink our "if it's a girl" name for baby. Was originally going to be Bethany Marie, but due to our surname starting with W, the initials BMW just wont work (same reasoning my first daughter is OJB instead of JOB(her dad can't keep one)) Me and hubby both love the name Isabella, but due to bloody twilight (yes i love it BUT) everyone and there dog is going to be using Isabella or Bella, and dont want people to think it's cause of the books *mutters*

liz_taylor - 2009-11-24 19:27:00
1584

Hey Liz, feel free to bring up whatever topic you want....2 much fabric is just the title hehe - we are trying to use the fabric up lol

Ok baby names, sorry cant tell you my kids names they are very very different and i dont know anybody with their names but they all have 3 sylables each and the last daughter has the middle letters of the first 3 kids names in order which turned out to actually be a name.
Yup Isabella will be popular, shame really, would of been nice and has the same amount of sylables as your other little one.
Also they both end in 'a'
Hmmmm stupid Twilight ( not you Twilight ) they could of named bella something different.
I wonder if you can google 4 syllable names ?????
