Oh Lowie, I'm going to go outside after breakfast and find the neighbours' cat so I can give him a good kick on your behalf to vent your frustrations!
Do try the no-waste method, I can never do it the other way. Right, I'm off for my morning cuppa and then I'm looking for that cat!!
In the meantime I'm sending you a hug over t'net and if it makes you feel any better...last night I spent 2 hours unpicking my first quilting seam on the "Roses for Maxine" quilt AND undoing all the wretched pins and re-basting/pinning it. grrrrrrrrrrrr where's that freakin' cat?
