have just heard on the radio that sales of sewing machines and sewing patterns are up, as people are becoming more aware of the poor conditions that workers endure to provide us with the mass produced clothing that we are so used to buying cheaply...plus of course the cost of transporting these goods to the UK. Can you use a sewing machine competently? can you sew in general? I am someone who is hopeless with needle and thread, and much as I would like to produce clothing myself. I never ever finished anything i started in school ...we were meant to make a skirt and a nightie but my efforts were not successful..as someone else useless at sewing has just said on the radio, I never even finished making my cookery apron! My friend said she would go to bed on a saturday night and get up Sunday to find a new dress that her Mum had made for her overnight - how I would love to be that nimble with a needle!

Yes both hand and machine.
Mother always said everyone should learn the skills that they may need when they marry or move from their parents home.

come on guys! any celeb you dislike? even if you dont have a reason? i absolutely hate paul o grady, but dont know why!

Isn't it time that we stopped adoring these useless pointless people, they are usually over paid for doing very little and not the sharpest knives in the drawer anyhow.
The people who should be looked upon better are those that make a serious contribution to the health and quality of life of the rest of us.
Why is it when celebrities go out and get drugged up, drunk and behave like animals society feels that it has a duty to forgive this rediculous and animalistic behaviour.

A decent car then I would be able to ride in comfort looking for a new house.
