    saveapenny I have an appointment to see my GP in 2 weeks time - the results should be back by then. they take a while cos they took a couple of samples (coelliacs disease and infection). it wasn't too bad and only took a few minutes. are you having sedation? I managed without - closed my eyes and tried to concentrate on breathing. I did have a couple of panics but the nurse and consultant were fab. if you want any details of what it was like without sedation please pm me!

    I've added another 7 cards on my blog (http://justbecauseitmakesmesmile.blogspot.com/). I'm really pleased because I've not a nice little pile of Christmas cards that is growing steadily! :T
    Received my Flowersoft kit today but kids too cranky to let me play so will experiment with it later.

    I also got a fantastic card from Paddingtondoo :T :jThank you so much! It's gorgeous.

    npsmama - let me know how you get on with your flower soft kit. I bought the starter set about a year ago and have only used it once.
    flourgirl - I've never crocheted before - I've tatted decades ago but could never figure out how to finish off. They look like they're a good price on poppicrafts - I might have to get some!!
