So we decided last week to come down Wed. 

Jill says can we use her car, it needs a long run.

Yesterday she spent ages in her hobby room and came out with a bag of scrap material (good I think) and a list.

This morning I see her loyalty card for Sewsimple at Taverham on the table.

She is then talking about going out for the day with her friend down there, while I get on with a few jobs on Zimbi.

Does anybody think there maybe a connection?

Conned I tell you.

Killing two birds with one stone and maximising opportunities a woman would say! Would you rather be with them or left alone? I know what I'd prefer!  :default_icon_e_biggrin:

Paul, thanks to you, I've just gained some brownie points. Other half didn't know about Sewsimple. Today was our chiro appointment and as we were just leaving it started to rain ( no varnishing today or cutting the grass ) so we went to  Taverham. So an hour or so later and plastic suitably spanked we come home with a dozen or so balls of yarn, book, cross stitch needles etc etc. I now have a very happy camper onboard and I have enough brownie points to continue work on our boat for a bit longer before we join the mayhem on the river.

So, as you can see, some good has come of you being conned :default_biggrin:

Colin

I owe you one of these. :default_beerchug:

Yes I know them all.

If you need brownie points here are some of Jill's favourites.

Sew simple  Taverham

So creative Wroxham barns

Gilly Bee Brundall

One in Beccles near the library

One in Bungay.

I don't mind driving to the one in Beccles because the car makes a detour via Always Hobbies in Raveningham, for me to spend a little, but it is too far to walk from the marina.

Hope to see you both soon.

All the best.

Sorry not really conned I always expect to have to go somewhere or other but I HATE Wroxham Barns and Bungay is a nightmare for parking.

The real con was wanting to use her car so she could disappear leaving me to have work on the boat!

Hang on, what's this? Boy's stuff! Come on, let's have more of this; are there any more? :default_eusa_dance:

Late edit: I've just looked them up. It's the old Hobbies I used to know as a kid. I can remember thumbing through their catalogue at all the stuff I could never afford. I'd better stay away and leave some for you lot.

Highly recommended!  They seem to understand that not all modellers want to buy straight out of the box, and stock a lot of useful parts, tools and accessories.
