Find Ben Manning

A 17 year old local boy has gone missing whilst on a night out.  This is the poster the police have put out.  There is a massive search operation going on to find him but it hasn't hit the national news yet so I'm just doing my bit to highlight awareness out of the local area.

This is the police press office report where updated information can be found along with a cctv image of Ben.

Satisfaction

This week I have made it a priority to not waste my time on Facebook and get those jobs done that I have put off.

Monday I did my tax return - ok so the deadline date was looming but hey I got it done.

Tuesday I got my sons' passport renewed so he can go on a school trip later in the year.

Wednesday I papered the feature wall in my daughters room.

Thursday I tried (and failed) to get my eldest son to sort out a work experience placement for the summer. Work in progress I think.

Friday I got rid of the grey roots. I bought a different shade to usual called rich chestnut. After mixing it went orange which was rather worrying. I put it on anyway and started to rather panic when after 15 minutes the dye was still bright orange. I had visions of having to find a hat and make a dash to Boots the chemist for another colour. Thankfully it turned brown when the 30 minute development time was up so panic over.

Skywatch

Into the archives again I'm afraid this week as yorkshire skies are boring at the moment.

This one is from last June in Blackpool

What's On Your Needles Wednesday

Starting next week I am going to be starting a new feature called What's On Your Needles Wednesday.

I have looked around the net and there are all kinds of things like wordless wednesday, whats on your workdesk wednesday but I couldn't find a knitting one where we share what is on our needles so I thought it could be a bit of fun.

So what is it?

Every wednesday morning I will start a new post entitled What's On Your Needles Wednesday.  I will show you what I have on my needles and I will provide a linky tool thingy so you can show the rest of the blogosphere what you are working on.  I am always on the look out for new and interesting patterns to add to my ravelry queue (yes that thing which never decreases) so I thought it would be a fun way of seeing what everybody else is knitting and more than likely add to that queue and I'm sure you will probably add things aswell.

Design Team Call

I'm starting up the challenge blog again and am having a design team call.  All the details are over here if you are interested.
