Sure a nicer ring ill turn up Jordan, that one obviously wasnt to be - spotted you in bingoport again, I'm not stalking you, honest, did you in anything? You've obvioulsy been very busy, care to share a few ideas & sites that you've got for hampers etc? & I loved the long post, gave me something to do while waiting for my mom, lol

My LO is just like yours Rusty, loves climbing, especially into boxes, tubs etc. This morning he tried to climb the banisters we have over looking the stairs, no fear there, was in me though! Hope you get a nice long soak in the bath tonight.

Biker, I put my phone on silent after LO goes to bed until we get up, anyone needing me n an emergency can call my mobile, sounds like you need to do something similar to get a lie in.

Yay, glad the lads are better again Rainmac, I'm dreading my LO going to nursery as well, & my eldest going to secondary school as well. They normally seem to settle in well though, sure yours will be no different & will have loads of fun.

Well, I woke up this morning with a very stiff jaw & couldnt open it very wide (very strange for me as I can normally open my mouth v.wide by dislocating it) so I decided a visit to the Drs was in order. Been told most of it will heal in time, it is mainly badly bruised & slightly swollen. Also with it feeling sore I'm likely to hold it stiff which does it no good. The only problem I'm likely to have in the future is I've stretched the "padding" that is between the joint & ball of the jaw. Its the bit that allows your mouth to open & shut smoothly without the bones rubbing together, if it stretches it will get in the way when the mouth is being closed, its this that you can feel pop when your mouth goes into place after dislocating it, so I have a few exercises to do when the bruising goes to restrengthen it.

Lol no i didn't win on bingoport
Oooh go on then.... I've seen some gorgeous cheap items on Etsy, things i unfortunately can't make
http://www.craftbits.com/ is brilliant handmade ideas, i love it.
http://www.recipezaar.com brilliant for the baker in you but also does homemade facial scrubs.
That's really all, its all handmade stuff mainly by me but others as well.:rolleyes:
Well what can i say i like to ramble on at 2 in the morning :rotfl: Glad your jaw is on the mend and your getting better

I am stoopid so I am happy to ask the stupid questions Shevs!!! Just pm me your questions and I will post them from me!!!lol!!

Can I ask a really stupid question?

I know that ATC stand for Artist Trading Cards - i think, but what exactly are they?

I am now hiding behind the sofa for asking the really stupid question:D

bunbun2

sylphraven they have the Doctor Who DVDs reduced in Morissons but it works out at £20 for the 4 with no bonus ones
I will have to have a look in Asda for the activity books - thanks!

An ATC is a playing card sized piece of art that you swap with other artists. Usually you will swap and receive a huge (10) batch at once and there are loads of clubs you can join, the best one is with the lovely Leonie Pujol from QVC. The cards must be playing card size and you put your edition number, name and details on the back. The purpose of them is to have a collection of lots of artwork to be inspired by and learn from. Also, one day one of these artists may become famous! Most people just like to collect them though as it's such a nice thing to collect.

Morning Ladies

Bunbun - Nice to see you back here, glad you had a fab time.

Mel - Do you collect them? do you have pictures of ones you have made? Can you share them with us/me

Mason - Not seen you around for a while, hope you are well.

Shevs, glad you have been to the docs about your Jaw, hopefully you will be on the mend soon.

I am having a nightmare, I lay down on the sofa to watch a film with OH last night, I fell asleep and struggled to get up the stairs when I went up to bed. I couldn't lie down without the help of OH, and then he had to pick up my legs and put them in the bed!!! I was the same this morning he has had to help me get out of bed!
I have to go to town today to pick up DS from the train station, but I really can't move! I am drugged up and the pain is still bad and to top it all off I have work tonight

Hope everyone is ok and has a good weekend

Rusty oh my goodness you sound in agony!! What have you done??? You'll have to go and see a dr or call the gp out honey as you sound really bad and it must be quite scarey too.

Please please look after yourself I hope things get better real soon but don't think you're gonna be driving or working today by the sounds of things xxx

I tried to call the doctors this morning, but they weren't open even thoug OH said they were it was just the emergency doc. I also asked OH to call his dad to say I can't go to work but he won't call him and I am too scared to let them down so I will just go to work instead.

I have had a bad leg since beginning of december, not sure what I did to it then either but I think with my back being bad it is just making the pain in my leg worse (no I didn't go to the doc about that either as I thought it would just go away on its own.... we are now almost 5 months later and it is still bad )


Not sure what I have done to my back It is driving me scatty though. Very restless night last night, I had to wake OH up at 5am to take Maddison off me (she creeps into bed with us in the night ... but he was also cuddled up to me and I couldn't move!!! :eek: It doesn't help cause Maddison knows there is something wrong as I keep screaming out in pain and bursting into tears and so she wants to constantly be picked up and cuddled upto me! bless her ....
I don't think I have ever had back pain so bloomin bad .... I know the doc won't sympathise either if I go ... it will be my own fault and I am too fat and if I want it to go away I must loose weight blah blah blah so I just save myself the heartache and don't go
