Any situation I don't want to be in and I hear myself saying it. It gets me through every time. Barb you have to remember that we are all with you in spirit prepared or not. Your "here we go" gets me everytime and you could just stand there brayering for me as I find it mesmerising. You always pull it out of the bag on the day.

Even when you wing it, you're great (I saw lots of that on C&C when you'd sold out and STILL gave us fab demos). All that wee mistake proves is you're human after all.

I hope that your Dad will keep improving, and I know that it is so hard to watch one of your parents struggling. It's so good that you have your grandson to make you laugh!

Today looks more promising - at least the sun is shining.

Sorry to hear that yesterday wasn't a...Hi Barb,<br />Sorry to hear that yesterday wasn't a good day for you, hope today is better. Don't you feel guilty about taking holidays. We would far rather have you letting your hair down and chilling out to recharge your batteries than running yourself into the ground. Everyone deserves to be able to relax so don't feel guilty and just push that pesky monkey off your shoulder! Other people have already said about making things simple for the tv or getting the DT to help out with the projects so I won't repeat them. You will be brilliant on tv and yes it is sometimes nice for us mere mortals when the professionals make mistakes to prove they are human after all! I love it when I see golf professionals make a rubbish shot or hit the ball into water ( something I do regularly!!) . Anyway, I hope today goes well, love and hugs Alison xxxalimeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590486915910442414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-72060316158824903102016-06-30T09:11:20.864+01:002016-06-30T09:11:20.864+01:00Good morning Sheila - I am an early bird again tod...Good morning Sheila - I am an early bird again today, as Neill has got another hospital appointment this morning, a final check-up on his partial knee replacement, done last October. In answer to your question about having a simpler example too - I totally agree, as for those of us limited to what we can do, it would be good. Also, there must be new members to the Groovi club all the time, so that would help them too, and stop them from feeling overwhelmed too! I hope that you will be in less pain today my lovely, extra hugs and love, Gilly xxxGillyflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07952504453277788850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-82358026097858558662016-06-30T09:04:09.680+01:002016-06-30T09:04:09.680+01:00Hi Brenda,

I decided a while ago that when in the right mood, I would make a few cards so that when my mojo goes and I desperately need a card, I've got some to fall back on. I definitely felt the pressure when I had to do my guest presenter piece for July's challenge couldn't get my brain into gear at all. Don't know how Barb and the Design Team do it all the time!!
