Well, a £61-aire.

But that's at least £61 more than I ever expected!

Hurrah for the finger puppets and the teddies! They look brilliant! I am so pleased it all went well - such a good cause.

I feel for you with having to work yourself up to using the new cable - I have actually got a new laptop sitting ready for me to start putting stuff onto it, as this one is getting problems, but I keep putting it off incase something goes wrong.

Thank you!

I have tried the power supply, and it does seem to work, but I'm still afraid it might blow up. I know exactly what you mean about your new computer. I had this one for over a year before I moved everything onto it. (It must have taken the old one over a year to die!) Now this one is dodgy, and I have another one waiting patiently!

Yep, I always kick myself afterwards for having struggled with the old one so long!

Well done! Totally deserved! I treasure my Ted :)

I hate it when tech gets flakey as it’s no longer supported.

Thank you! I'm glad you like your ted ;-)

I hate Windows 10 because they're always tinkering with it and most of the time you don't even know. I'm constantly running Malwarebytes because something suddenly seems dodgy.

I love those jumpers. So tiny, I'm not surprised they are a fiddly lot of work!

Thank you! The little button on the back is particularly fiddly. I spent a lot of time admiring them when they were finished :-)

The puppets are wonderful, but so is the entire stall. What a talented lot you are! Congratulations on a successful day!

The teddy in the front looks so pleased with his red jumper!

Ha, ha, yes he does! He's cheerleading the others.
