Locks For Writing Slopes?

[woofgang]

I have bought a rather nice writing slope on ebay, however the lock doesn't work at all. Its quite easy to remove though and in fact I suspect that its not the original one anyway. I've hunted around but the only supplier of replacements I could find is in america and the p and p is huge.

Does anyone know of a UK supplier of writing slope (wooden box) locks please? Either new or old but they must work and come with a key.

The sad thing about the card sales is that she said that people won’t even pay the five for a quid thing because they aren’t from a proper shop. I make the cards for her with off cuts and odd bits mainly so while they look nice (I think) they don’t cost me much so I wouldn’t even mind if she sold them for 20p each!

This is it Woofy .The stuff to make them costs nothing really .A decoupage sheet is cheap and you can make a few cards from one sheet .Plus other bits and bobs ,stick ons etc .
Here are some I made earlier.

looks quite mild out there this morning. It's Free London Walks weekend so we might try to get into town and go on one of those (though the #/*$@ tube isn't running for the second weekend in a row). What would they do if they were in Washington?

[woofgang]

Shaney, those cards are lovely...not sure if I posted my this year’s christmas card?

good to see Christmas lights on trees in the field, woofgang, the sheep will appreciate it and maybe reindeer will stop and have a look.

Decided not to go out, it is drab and damp and no trains. So I have now got dressed.

[woofgang]

Hello all
Very nice out there today ,bright and sunny.A welcome change from yesterdays gloom.I would love an amble along the seafront when it's like this but it's too uncomfortable to walk far atm.
That's a fab card Woofy ,did you draw it yourself ? Very nice indeed . I bet if you were to make packs of that design you'd be able to sell them on Ebay or Etsy.
Hope Robinia is feeling better and how's that arm today Neti ?

Hello all. Those cards are lovley both of you. When I first came to this god forsaken little island I had to make my own xmas cards, I used felt tip (yees modern indeed) and cardboard.
Lovely sunny day.
Well arm is worse than ever cannot now use hand at all so painful, not even to open a peg, tragedy indeed. have a mexico app for Tuesday at midday. I am also taking paracetamol. But to Mr N's amazement I slepp exceptionally well, but I always do, clear conscience (had to google that, it looks so wrong!). we did shopping and all normal things, I just have to potter! Treated Mousey to some fish as a treat, she gobbed the lot and vomitted immediately on new carpet. I put foot under her nether regions and ejected her from the house!
Robi how are hyou? Beter I hope, and shaney hows the damn leg, oh I feel for you.

[netibiza]

Just found this polyphoto (remember them?) of me, I was sooo sweet!!

Why did we all have those stupid big bows? Mine was forever sliding down my very straight hair!

[woofgang]

such a beautiful smile Neti.
The cards are die cuts and stamps on a painted background.
Poor Mousey!

[netibiza]

Mr N thinks I have dislocated something as it clicks and is getting worse and worse.

[woofgang]

I doubt that Neti. Elbows are very hard to dislocate and if you had dislocated your shoulder or collar bone, the pain would be enough to make you scream.

[netibiza]

Morning all. I had a remarkably good night even with the cat being let out and then in again.
Hope you are all ok, Robi hope you are getting better and shaney's leg is improving.
Have to say the pain is dreadful but it's the heel of my hand where it is worse. And the shoulder clicks everytime i move it. Will find out soon I hope. Can't even use hand to eat a boiled egg, just can't close it.
Having a quiet day in. Mr N has just mended the dripping water heater, so now my loo rolls will stop getting damp and lumpy!

[netibiza]

Having a day in bedthen not tempted to use arm.Mr N is maling sweeet and sour chicken for lunch.
Just caught up with Lucy in Russia, was a good programme, I liked seeing all the places I'd been to, even that lovely throne room. Catching up on Mr Selfridge now.

Hello all
Turned mild again out there .
Lovely photo Neti .I hated those those ruddy bows .In all pics of me as a child I seem to have one plonked on my head.
I was thinking that from what you say about not being able to close your hand it could be carpal tunnel syndrome .That can affect your whole arm.
Go back to the doctor.
Hope the rest of you are alright .Had a rotten night with the painful leg,sat on the edge of the bed cursing it and then dosed myself in an effort to get some sleep and didn't surface 'til late.

[woofgang]

Hello all, mild and grey here. nothing much doing, my knee what was wonky complained about too much up and down stairs yesterday so i am having a quieter day today.

[netibiza]

Told you woofy to be careful!
I've had a very lazy day just lolling about. Mr N has cooked a delightful lunch as I didn't want to go out as find it hard to hold am utensil, atm and didn't want to look strange. This pm we just nestled down and watched James Bond, I say watched, I slept through most of it, the Mr N prepared cheese and digestive biscuits and a cuppa and I'm have put myself to bed. Been resting arm and it's been fine but the minute I move it hurts.
Where is our Robi or our jude for that matter? Hope Robi is getting better.
Oh shaney your leg last night, how awful, just makes you want to weep doesn't it!

[netibiza]

Morning all, arm still very painful although did manage to slice a bit of bread but it did hurt. Am taking it easy again today until I'm see Mexico (new one hopefully!) tomorrow. I am so tempted to rush about and clean the house but really think know that would not be for the best.
Where is Robi? I hope hope she is ok and Jude!
How's the leg Shaney? And how's the knee woofy?

[jno]

maybe they've all gone to the mexico - everybody seems in a bad way at the moment.

Maybe they've just gone out for tea

morning all. Knee is much better thank you Neti, I hope you get your arm sorted tomorrow. Sending medicinal waves to all the other damaged Biddies. We had a dreadful night here, something screaming in the gardens around us, it sounded like a tom cat. This, of course kept waking the dogs who kept waking me. Dogs, of course, are back asleep again. I have to stay awake because I am expecting a delivery and its due soon.
