You lot are better than therapy - had a carp day, came on here to have a moan and have laughed so much that I don't need to moan and might not need my second [STRIKE]piece[/STRIKE] half of lemon drizzle cake from M&S :rotfl:

Lol at you lot with your trolleys and freight trucks to get you back from the NEC.

Hiya Wifey

I am not a hystersister but a friend of mine who suffered with endometriosis was and sent me the smilies link. They managed to treat the endometriosis without an op and she ended up a first-time Mum at 39 :T

Isn't it great that we can talk openly nowadays and share information and support - my Mum who is a VERY OLD 72 drives me round the twist with her uptight, inhibited, bigoted attitudes:mad:.

Thanks all for your hugs and lovely words. Funny how things take you isn't it, there's me all down in the dumps when I should be really happy 'cos OH has just had the news that he's currently in remission from the lymphoma he's been treated for these last two years. He had a stem cell (bone marrow) transplant in October as a last ditch attempt as his previous chemo didn't help. He's still got a long way to go with his recovery but seems like he's on the right track.

My mom, who wasn't expected to last the day a month ago, is a lot better, back in the temporary care home and expected to be allowed home possibly later this week.

So goodness knows why I'm so down. Maybe a reaction after all that's been going on. I suppose when you've had to feel positive for so long in a negative situation then in time something gives.

Anyway, I'll try and get back on track.

If the weather doesn't get any worse I'm going out on Sunday (can't remember the last shopping trip I had) but only to get a new iron as mine packed up at the weekend. There's a Home Bargains near to where I'm going so I can have a moochy in there. Sadly no craft shops but I bought the 80 reel ribbon pack from QVC last week and they're lovely.

I'll do a blog hop tomorrow and see what you've all been up to.

Can anyone tell me how you put blog candy links on your side bar please? I put the Pink Piggy one in the main part of my blog as I couldn't find out how to do it on the side bar.

TomsMom, I think you should never get cross at yourself for feeling down when it happens, sometimes just go with it but try and do some things for you that make you happy - bake, make a card, shop, go for a walk, whatever you think may help you 'escape' for a bit and help plant some happiness in your head. That's fab news about your OH and also your mum

For adding blog candy to your sidebar - I am carp with technology so hope this makes sense:
Click on Customise at the top of your blog homepage
Click on Add a Gadget on the side
Scroll down to Picture and select by clicking the + button
Go to the blog candy you want to add to your blog, hover over the picture of the candy and right click on your mouse, copy all the text in the Properties section and paste into the section that says Image From The Web, this should show the candy pic (hopefully!)
Then enter a post title, caption if you want (this text is shown under the pic)
Copy the URL of the candy post into the box titled Link
Save
The candy should now show on your blog
If you have more than one listed you can change the order by dragging and dropping but you will need to save these changes before reverting back to your blog homepage.
Hope this makes sense, please shout if it doesn't.

Padster, welcome home lady, we missed you, I made another easel card box thingie in your absence :A

Saucy, I reckon your Promarkers will come tomorrow x Hope you can come to the NEC, would love to meet you

CT, so sorry you aren't able to come to the NEC, I so wanted to meet you xxx

Thank you
I hope they come tomorrow, with my ribbon mad stuff. I'm so excited to get them, I've already printed lots of digi stamps to colour!
