Learning to say no

 Yesterday I spent a lovely morning crafting with my friend and her grandchildren. She was babysitting them for the day and had wondered how to entertain them. They're lovely children and very well mannered. After they left Tony and I popped into town to pay for our New Year's Eve ceilidh tickets. It's hard to believe it'll be here before we blink. While we were travelling along in the car I received a text message from an acquaintance asking whether I had any wheeled glass cutters that she could borrow for a village project. This person knows that I do have glass cutters but I've lost books and equipment in the past lending them to various people and many years ago I vowed that I wouldn't lend out my stuff. I felt very uncomfortable saying that I don't lend out my equipment.  It's taken me a very long time to learn to say no to people without making up any excuses.  She didn't acknowledge my text message..
