Okay, I give. Do you mean it's wool yarn? And you're gonna wash it in the machine to "felt" it? So then it's "tougher" wool, as would be needed for a purse?
Help me out here.... ?

Hey, I'm here! It wasn't Fibro, but a run-of-the-mill lurgie! Still not feeling 100%, but I way better than I do with a Fibro attack, so I'm enjoying that! 
Had to miss work last night tho...long story.
Like that'd stop me telling you! Well, I was feeling pretty crappy Tuesday and I knew I was supposed to work Wednesday night. So my plan for Tuesday was to have a lie-in, go to the new house and do a few things, then pick up some food and go home for a nap before work. Started off well, but then I got to the new house and found we'd been BURGLED! We've only had the house 2 weeks! They'd nicked some power tools, my brand-new kettle, our mini-fridge and some chocolate biscuits! Including my dairy-free ones! So I couldn't even have a cup of tea and a biscuit to cheer my self up  . Very annoying.
But that all meant that I had to stay at the house all day waiting for the police, locksmith (we thought at first that they'd got in with a key, but it's turned out they'd jemmied a window )...etc. So by the time I was supposed to go to work, I was dead on my feet. Luckily my boss was great and my colleague covered my work  .
But anyway...THAT'S why I haven't been around!

I'd never have found your post, Linz. I thought this thread was all about fibro.
Linz, I'm SOOOO sorry. How horrible to be burglarized. They must have known you had some great stuff when you moved in. I can't believe they stole your teapot!
Okay, I know it's not funny to be burglarized, but did you happen to see the episode on "Bob & Margaret" in which they were burglarized and the burglars stole their teapot? Bob got the brilliant idea to "pad" the insurance claim, against Margaret's better judgment, and the claim ended up including all kinds of big items, such as stereo, TV (and, yes, a new teapot). Even though the only honest item was the teapot, the "bobbies" believed the big items were taken but were very suspicious about the teapot. After all, who would take a teapot?!
Anyway, the insurance company paid off, and Bob & Margaret bought all new stuff -- BIG stuff -- TV, stereo, etc. They made a huge mistake, though, and left the empty shipping boxes on the sidewalk for the garbage pickup. The robbers spotted the empty boxes, realizing all the good stuff they stole had been replaced with new, and the closing scene showed them RE-BURGLARIZING the joint!
(By the way, the cops ultimately found the stolen teapot at a yard sale -- and bought it!)
So Linz, be careful when you buy all new stuff -- don't leave the evidence on the sidewalk!
Bev

Jen, your IBS still hasn't settled down from last weekend? That s--ks. And a migraine on top of it. Life is just NOT FAIR sometimes.
Hope you're feeling better today.

Linz -- HOW AWFUL to be burglarized before you even move in. As I just said to Jen, sometimes life is just NOT FAIR!!
Okay, and finally some Britspeak I'm not familiar with -- "lurgie"?? Definition, please?!
