I couldn't decide which colour to go for ..... so I bought all 16 packs :rotfl: oh and I paid on OH's bank card :rotfl: :o:o

I haven't touched the housework, I have been playing with images and making cards, thankyou for the kind comments mine are not good enough to sell

Happy birthday Orchid, hope you have a fantastic day xxx

Rusty I can't believe you bought 16 packs of card candy, you will have millions:rotfl:
Don't underestimate your talent your cards are definately good enough to sell

:rotfl: Well I was being indecisive lol ... I figured I could probably sell 100 of each pack on ebay as there is no one selling them on there ... and make some of my money back ... it may not work and if it doesn't then I don't mind


Mum2one - your DD sounds sooooo sweet bless her

Morning ladies, hope everyone is ok?

I woke up this morning and I am relatively pain free!!!!!!!!!!!! not sure if the sciatica fairy has been through the night but I can sit without pain, I can move without pain. However it is still a bit sore, feels like all of my leg is badly bruised still but hey I can put up with that!! I am going for a pain killer free day! and a deep heat free day! hopefully after 6 long hard painful months this is the end!!

mum2one - best of luck with the newspaper.........:j

Rusty -glad you're having a good day.Just don't go overdoing it (just in case)
Made mental note what I was going to do today and forgotten:rotfl:That's a 'senior moment' big time............lol
Did think about going out -Sue Ryder's have got some lttle tubs of slime....perfect for me Santa's Snot silly pressies -hinted to OH as he's gone to get shopping but he has 'selective hearing' I think.
New toy shop opened in town and not sure what to get baby grandson for his birthday - activity desk or a sort of tent you can make into a tunnel. Asked daughter in law and she says either would do Not much help.

Oh, remembered what I was going to do..............order chimenea from my catalogue now its reduced and have a go at painting a CD rack -it's black ash type thing and won't look right in our lounge so needs a colour wash treatment.

Have a good day all:j

Mary sounds like you are doing nothing today then :rotfl: Thats the kind of thing I do... forget to do something! I love the idea of santas snot!!

I promise not to overdo it ... still painkiller free so far ... thats 2 days without pain killers although almost gave in last night!

Have a nice day mary

mary43

Rusty - will do...............make sure you do too.
Just noticed some of those 'open files' -you know, the sort you slot things in...........they're sat on a shelf in here bursting at the seams........I can see a door hanger sticking out that I never finished..............lol :eek:
Heaven knows what else so think I might just delve into them -better idea than painting I think............can't be bothered with that now:rotfl:

So, off to order chiminea and sort out 3 files...............:j

That's exactly the same as me I have so much to do but just can't be bothered cos it's all boring!!!!!!
BUT since dropping the bairn at nursery I managed to post a party invite, go to tesco and do my weeks shop, get home, cook a cheese quiche from scratch, put all the shopping away, have a spot of lunch, clean the dishes from cooking and sit down for 15 mins with diagnosis murder and have a catch up on here. It's amazing what you can get done in 2 hours without the bairn in tow.:rotfl::T
