Who has taken my tape measure?
OK, which one of you has taken my tape measure?
I use it all the time and now when I really need it - making curtains - here you go and take it!!! Where did you put it? I've looked everywhere, even cleared the 2 dozen shirts that needed ironing pile, it wasn't there!!!!! All week, I keep losing things and then finding things that I haven't seen in years......what is going on!!!!!! I feel like I am losing my mind now..... DH blames it on the fact that we've nearly finished the house, the last of the major work was finished 2 weeks ago and that was the living room parquet floor, sanded and re-varnished by me....so we've upset the karma of the house I just want to measure my curtains.......grrrrrrrrr Janner France |

How about borrowing DH's steel tape? They are great for large items and
they stay where they are put more than our floppy ones! .. In message , Janner writes OK, which one of you has taken my tape measure?

It was the nisse. French nisse could probably be propitiated with
wine. Might be easier just to buy a new one, then when the nisse eventually returns your old one, you'll have a spare.

Who has taken my tape measure?
Yep, think I'll have to go shopping, there are other sewing bits I need,
like more hooks for the curtains. Why is it the poles come with 12 rings and yet the pack of hooks to join to them come in packs of 10!!!! If I didn't know better, I'd say that it is all a conspiracy.... Janner France On 08/12/2011 16:45, Roberta wrote: It was the nisse. French nisse could probably be propitiated with wine.

Wherever it is, it is partying with my seam ripper and the sheath for my
embroidery scissors. Monique in TX Janner wrote: OK, which one of you has taken my tape measure? I use it all the time and now when I really need it - making curtains - here you go and take it!!!

Who has taken my tape measure?
I lost my steel tape measure just after I moved into my new house.
This fall (a year later) I found the tape measure in a packing box in the hall closet. Several boxes got shoved into that closet and sat there unsorted 'til this fall when I decided maybe I should see what was in the boxes. I guess the box was open and when I was measuring something in there (can't imagine what needed to be measured in the hall closet, but anyway . . . .) I laid the tape in the box instead of carrying it back out of the closet with me. Yes, I did buy another one - so, now I have two, a lime green and a bright yellow!

Who has taken my tape measure?
I gave up on mislaid tape measures several years ago, and any time I
find them on a really good sale I pick up THREE of them! I always have one in my purse and one in the glove box of my car, one in my small "weekend" suitcase, one in my tote bag I use for taking stitching with me, plus one or even two in every sewing basket and kit, and the extra new ones tucked into an antique sewing stand up in a bedroom -- along with packs of new shoe strings. Oh well. I'm compulsive about never running out of pins, good needles, scissors, and thimbles, too. |

I have a couple of packs of new shoestrings too. Don't have any idea why.
Can't remember ever breaking a shoestring but I guess it must have happened. Polly "Mary" wrote in message ...
