Velvet ribbon and the Daily Mail LOL

Grrr some internal error lost the entry i was trying to post ARGH...Ok how bluddy difficult do you think it would be to find velvet ribbon???? Not too hard you'd say wouldn't you...I live in a city so surely it would be easy...WRONG...We have John Lewis, one fabric/haberdashery shop, a small shop packed with loads of wool etc and one craft shop...The craft shop is the only one i haven't tried yet...Yesterday i got some in the fabric shop...But they sell very little trimmings...I got a gorgeous purple, bright red and navy blue...They had a green but am not a green person and it wasn't quite emerald enough for me...The white was too thin :o( ...Today i tried the wee shop in our pathetic indoor market...Now i got tons of satin ribbon and pearl trimming but velvet was a no no...They only sell white and black and thin which is no use...I need like an inch wide or in metric it's 23mm...As for John Lewis well they can get stuffed...In John Lewis you can only buy ribbon trimming by the reel...I don't want a 5 metre reel i want a couple of metres...If the craft shop hasn't got any am going o be forced into buying some from online...And i don't really want to as i want to see it before i buy...See if it's nice velvet and not hard horrid velvet...So i live in a city with crap shops that are flaming useless LOL.

K sent me this article from the Daily Mail earlier...Think i need to read this book...This lad sounds so so so so like what G used to be like...Wonder if there is any way of writing to the parents...It's the dad who wrote the book...I should write a book about the last 16 years....But am shit at writing...I'd need to have someone to organise chapters and paragraphs and stuff...I can't write properly for toffee...Besides it's not going to be that interesting and some stuff would probs hurt other people...But i have thought about trying to do one for a long time now i just can't cos am rubbish...Hmmm one day maybe when am very old and very white and very very wrinkled

Caff I think it would do us all good to read that book ~ but like Jan has said you write one about your two boys I am sure you are quite capable to do so ~ hope you manage to find that velvet you are looking for ~ Ally x
