Can anyone help with what is missing from my mothers day gift in progress please? I have posted on my blog as it was quicker to upload the pic! Any help much appreciated!

Some smashed glass? :rotfl:

Sorry I couldn't resist

Looks absolutely beautiful, well done I wouldn't say anything is missing personally

Had stupidly busy day at work so haven't managed to catch up until now.

All I want to say is 'Don't ever change' I love this thread, don't post that much but read every single post, and check out the blogs when I'm at home.

So glad I bought laptop and dongle for myself for Christmas, as the thought of my week off work (week after next) without you girls is awful.

I promise to be very crafty that week. And I'll do my thrifty gifty notebook!

mhagster

Jammy. I think it looks fine too.

Paddington: as for a furrypig....i couldn't eat a whole one!!
Grumpy son and untidy daughter both have trombones.....but it's okay they don't bother to practise so i don't hear their tunes!!!

Have cut my grass and now need to clean bathrooms and hoover.....my hairy dog is seriously casting aaaargh! so I will hoover and she will walk and cast hair again!!

ER tonight...I think the lovely George Clooney is in it tonight....mmmmm
Need to fling together.....sorry lovingly create 2 mothers day cards tonight, as I'm being very selfish and just want Sunday for my family only, so will visit my mum and mil tomorrow after work. I think after 10 weeks without a husband/dad that's allowed.

Right I am stepping away from the computer and going to hoover,

rainmac I love your cards:T

jammy your journal and notebook are lovely - I don't think it is missing anything:T

rusty what a fancy blog you have now:rotfl: loved the photos of your two little ones!

sugarspun hope you are feeling a bit better. It's not nice feeling ill away from home.

shelley sounds like you had a good shopping trip today.

aurora thanks for your pm. hope you have had a good day - did you get to enjoy the sunshine?

I had a moment of insanity yesterday! I ordered 8 bottles of washing liquid from Boots:eek: it cost me £17.xx inc P&P and I got 800 points (£8 worth) so will save me money in the long term but WHERE am I going to put it all:rotfl:

furrypig

I can confirm that Mhagster did not eat me or miss furrypig!!

I am here yawning as getting ready for in laws to come tomorrow and tired after long day at work etc etc etc

Miss FP is doing her thang on the wii fit!! it's what I should be doing as I need to excercise but not sure I can join jammy's excercise thing as I am sooo lazy!!

Scatty your poem to your mam is lovely! Someone from work just lost her mum and I saw her today, just wish I had seen your poem before as I would have copied it for her really great words thank you xxx

Rainmac sneaked a peek at your blog when I was at work and your cards are lovely. Glad you are enjoying the crafty stuff you bought!

Hope everyone is ok wanted to send hugs again to Hayley, JS, Shelley and Aurora plus anyone else that would appreciate one!!!

Bikerchick - Have a lovely week off

Mhags - time with your hubby is definately allowed, how long is he home for? Enjoy your time together

BunBun - don't you have a dishwasher? :rotfl: or is that OH? Why so many? £17 is a lot for washing up liquid :rotfl:

Furrypig - Glad to see you have not been eaten! enjoy your inlaws

My kids are in bed, OH made £20 for fixing our mates Xbox tonight, matey picked it up tonight and asked if OH could do another one for his mate yay £40 for not a lot of work, but saving them £40 each as microsoft charge £60

Scatty - forgot to say how lovely your poem is, brought a tear to my eye too

Jammy - I think they look great as they are. Do you want to make my mum something while you're at it? :rotfl:

I've just watched Lost so I am going to try and get something crafty done, I can't have spent that long and have nothing to show for it!!

Evening all, OH will be finishing work soon, thankfully as LO is getting into the routine where he wont goto sleep until Daddy is home - normally thats fine but not on the odd occasion he has to work late. LO did help with my blogs today, yes, I said blogS as inplural. I blame plums for getting me into it, lol.
1 is for for my general rants, family life etc,
2 is for my crafty pieces.
3 is my area of motivation, to try & help me lose a dress size & get fit by monitoring what i do generally towards it.

Hows your eye feeling now Jammy, any better?
I think the only thing I would do to your gift is move the flower down slightly on the container(?), so its above the writing more, but thats just my opinion

Love the poem Scatty, as others have said I think its a tiny bit better without the 'so'. Its beautiful.

You found the ear plugs yet Paddington? My sons year were all taught & given a penny whistle - was a tad noisy on the way home that day, about 70 kids walking home playing them.
