Until then, all doors and windows are locked, the burglar alarm is set. I travel with a body-guard at all times as well as super-sharp knitting needles and long pointy scissors. I have also changed my appearance significantly and have boooked in to the plastic surgeon for the final adjustments. Do not attempt to try and mug me - you will fail and will spend the rest of your days in solitary confinement.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely<BR/>MichaelaMichaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17613273681468961656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944832373177259228.post-65714607258728942007-09-24T18:22:00.000+01:002007-09-24T18:22:00.000+01:00Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww......

Sorry Michaela.<BR/><BR/>I'm not proud of this unkind attitude, and I know it's my own fault for knitting myself a monkey that I recklessly agreed to give away: I'm just not looking forward to impending monkeylessness. I will knit on with Mr Eyeless and see if that cheers me up enough to make me into a nicer person with kinder feelings, but I just don't know that I'll manage it. So Michaela, if you read this - keep your windows locked, for your own safety. It's for the best.<BR/><BR/>(This long-rambling-comment thing seems to be catching - sorry about that.

Then as I read on and got to the end... oh my! Is Vera really for me? She's fantastic, I knew that yarn would make such a great monkey. She will of course go and live in The Stash Basket, which is rapidly holding less stash and more 'friends'. She may even go on special outings with me (think she'd like Alexandra Palace?). Thank you so much Monkee Maker, she's worth the shoe box any day - I feel I've come off so much better in this deal!<BR/><BR/>Anybody else going to Ally Pally on the Saturday? - look out for me if so, I'll be the one holding a little monkey!Michaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17613273681468961656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944832373177259228.post-75965374751953858182007-09-24T10:33:00.000+01:002007-09-24T10:33:00.000+01:00Oh Monkee Maker, I thought you'd turned nasty for ...Oh Monkee Maker, I thought you'd turned nasty for a moment there!
