RE: Christmas greetings

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

Well done, they look lovely. A handmade card is a work of love.
I used to make a lot of Christmas cards but this year I have only made a couple for special friends.

If you make it yourself maybe, it means fuck all if you buy it

Aye the can be very time consuming Syl and especially at this time of year when you have plenty of other things to do.

This is a great idea for anyone going on dates over the festive season.

#Ask For Angela is a scheme to keep woman safe if their date turns out to be a nutter.

Angela is a safe word bar staff have been trained to recognise and if a woman uses it, they'll then get her out of the place as quickly and as safely as possible.

A recent example was when a woman said to a DJ in a club "Is Angela working" and she was quickly taken through the back and a taxi was phoned for her.

Vicks, thats a good scheme for women who are out and feel unsafe, it strated in the Midlands then parts of Scotland adopted the scheme too, it should be nationwide imo. It caught on in Australia in the summer but has had some criticism.
I hope you dont mind I have posted in on NF so a wider audience may see it and comment.

Great idea. Poor do when you can't even go on a bloody date without feeling safe.

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

Not much support on NF for the idea.
I think some people cant put themselves in the shoes of woman who feels unsafe. Even in public, surrounded by others, instinctively they can feel something isnt right, but may not know how to get out of the situation.
The young backpacker in NZ who was recently murdered brings home how vulnerable women can be when out dating ….especially strangers they have met through the internet.

I can't help think it's more than a bit daft to go backpacking as a lone female.

Well, I've had a good look at it and think that it's not a good idea to rely on others to keep you safe. You have to take responsibility yourself.

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

Of course everyone should take responsibility for themselves....and you are old enough to realise that.
Dont tell me you didnt make some daft decisions when you were young....I know I did.

I went swimming with a man I hardly knew in the IOM sea at 2 or 3 in the morning once after we had both been drinking....I was 18, daft, and lucky he wasnt a nutter. Loads of other situations that could have turned out wrong.....and even if you are more sensible you can still find yourself in a fix on a date, drinks can be doctored for eg...….why on earth would anyone deny a woman the chance to be safe if her date turns out to be a creep?

I wouldnt have had the nerve.....I went off working away for summer seasons a few times, but always in the UK.

Of course I don't mind Syl, the more people that see it the better.

Especially with online dating and your date turns out to be nothing like they claimed Digs.

They're good. Do they take long to make?

Not really Digs, The Gingerbread man only took a few hours because it's mostly the same colour of thread.

The others took about a day and I did most of my stitching early in the morning, while Daisy is still asleep.

It certainly has BG.

Here's another recent one from the SNP.

Children shouldn't sit on their Granda's knee or hug them.

They should shake their hand!!
