HOT
*Christmas!! Getting close now and I really should get organised with my gift buying, and making...
*Mail. I received the below package from Tinniegirl as part of Blogtober's giveaway fun. The universe is leaving me nice messages and we are enjoying the mixed CD too. Just in time to refresh my playlist for the Christmas driving and visiting period :)
*Spotlight. I know, strange! I really like these cottons I picked up at Spotlight with my two discount vouchers yesterday. I also like the discount vouchers so that is two ticks for Spotlight this round.
NOT
*Spelling. I know I was not really paying attention in class when the teacher covered the basics, so my spelling is often not the best. At least I try....
I h8 reading wot u have 2 say if u type like this. Wot r u thinking? I have had enuf!
If this style was from a teen via a text message I would put up with it, but it came from an adult in a forum, and for some reason that makes me a little sad :(
Wow is Spotlight sporting coolness for a change? Love those fabrics! Show us what you make with them one day.
ReplyDeleteI was plesantly surprised by the fabric at Spotlight when I was in there last week too! I got some lovely cotton poplin that I hope to make into dresses and skirts for my 3 year old this summer.
ReplyDeleteNice fabrics! I never ever get discount vouchers for Spotlight:(
ReplyDeleteSpelling is my problem. I am trying my hardest though....
I'm with you about the text-speak. I even write full sentences when I'm sending text messages. Keep up the fight or we'll lose the beauty of language altogether!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric!! What a find!
ReplyDeleteKatia, I think you are amazing as English is your second language!!
ReplyDeleteIt is one thing to make a couple of spelling mistakes, but some of that 'text talk' is ridiculous. I have trouble understanding a lot of it.
ReplyDeleteGreat hot and nots - the fabrics at Spotty have definitely improved for sure
ReplyDeleteText speak drives me crazy, it's also why I take four hours to send a simple text message because I can't help but spell out every word correctly.
ReplyDeleteYou have some gorgeous fabrics there, IM trying to be good and stay away from spotlight and any online fabrics stores - seeing all your fabrics is making that very difficult!

I am the worst speller in the whole world!!...but mis-spelt words are cute and endearing....that's what I keep telling myself anyway!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the text talk. I have to get my teenage son to translate some of it!!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics. x
I'm hearing you with that text crap!!! I hate it when people leave messages like that...
ReplyDeleteJodie xx
I got 2 get some of the gr8 fabric from SL wot u got! LOL ;)
ReplyDeleteWhy do I never see such fabulous things at my Spotlight?
Re. the Christmas tree comment you left on my blog, for the last few years we've had our tree on the dining table, on a side table, and on the coffee table (pushed against a wall). This kept it out of the way of little hands. Now that it's on the floor it actually looks really small LOL!
I am with you Becky - that text talk drives me mad.
ReplyDeleteA couple of those 'Spotty' fabrics are a little Amy Butleresque - very nice.
nice fabric
ReplyDeleteI used to use a bit of txt talk on forums mostly because I was often posting from my moble phone though I try to keep it to the very basics no fancy creative spelling to hard to work out to type..... mostly fixed now I have iPhone
Oh yes three great hots ... isn't this fun? ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you and everyone else on the text thing. Drives me nuts.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Aussie waffler - texting takes me forever as I spell everything out. Some of the abbreviations are good and I admire their cleverness but I think that they should be exclusive to the medium they're invented for. Some communication styles just don't cross mediums, e.g. sarcasm in e-mails and letters written like an email. People used to write differently for telegram than they did in letters, too. If e-mail is about immediacy of communication, then texting is about the immediacy of the nano-second.
ReplyDeleteSpelling and typos - sometimes it's hard to spot the difference....
