Hi all, I havn't been around much as had visitors for the weekend so I will need to put aside a very long time tonight to catch up with everything...

I did read your sad news Goochie about your friend, sending you big hugs chick x

Have any of you been watching ideal world this weekend, they are doing loads of craft stuff, but I am being good and havn't succumbed to anything yet...

Right will be back to see you all later, am going to try and make a card for my friend in hospital with my girls now....wish me luck!

Jamtart - Hugs to you and your Mum, must have been scary for you when she went to hospital, I hope she is feeling better soon...x

Just a quick question, I am sure someone on here mentioned a craft website that is currently doing 30% off...if anyone knows which one it is could you let me know....Thanks

Hope the migraine sufferers are ok today x

I made a card for a friend today, I find I make a lot of cards, they come out nice then I give them away and forget what I've done so I've taken a photo. I've made a second one exactly the same to keep in the file for my car boot sale or for another birthday. Anyway that's cash saved on buying a card and she's on the nursery run so I'm going to post it myself - save a stamp.

Hi all,
Thanks for the Dr Who link, got to go & check if thats the one I got in the boots sale or not, lol - Theres a couple of us with Dr Who fans to buy for on here, I think the other one is SarahF? p&p is £4.50p
Also Furry, thanks for giving all NEC goers a yell to go look at the facebook group to get a date set, I'm ok at organising but really dont like making decisions which might mean annoying people or missing them out.

Hope the Dr can give your mom something to make her feel better Jammy.

Today I'm planning to hide the easter eggs somewhere else before Ds1 gets home from school, & possibly get some christmas pressies wrapped. Going to wrap a few birthday pressies as well, but I can do that when the kids are around, theres no awkward "why arent the elves wrapping them?" questions with birthdays.

jammy sorry to hear about you mum, hope you got a bit further with the gp and that she is on the mend

Rainmac I should have another sort thru my stash as there is some I will never use and maybe someone somewhere would like it!!

Sylph hope the Dr Who thing is helpful and I think there is a code for free postage that has worked in the past will pm you with it

Kids both survived school and I survived work so so far so good today!! Must sort out NEC date with you gals as I need to get organised

hugs xxx

jamtart sorry to hear you mum is not well. hope the gp can give her something and she feels better soon

furry hope your family are now over the horrible bug you have all had and your ds is OK

goochie sorry to hear the sad news about your friend. my best friend lives in France and I keep thinking I must phone her and see how she is (haven't seen or spoken to her for about 2 years:eek: ).

my ds is on the mend - his leg seems to be getting better and he is limping less. went back to the hospital today and they said it is prob muscular and doesn't look like an infection which is good.

yippee - I found brown paper bags - in home bargains - they were in there after all - I was looking in the wrong place.

EEK Aurora!! You are so sweet I am blushing!! Thank you very much for your support.

The creativity life magazine is out now (The one I am in) from all Docrafts stockists and Hobbycraft. Should be able to get it at the NEC *cough* hahah!!

Was in Telford yesterday for my sisters birthday and feel so tired and run down now because of all the early starts/late nights but I am happy

The nursery take notes on the children and then make a display from photographs and notes to show you what they got up to. Logan was asked 'what is your favourite thing at home?" and he said ' My mommy.. oh and R2D2' I could cry!! He loves me!!!!

The facebook thing does my head in.. you better have all agreed on a decision by the time I wake up in the mornin or I will grass you all up for your future extortionate non-necessary craft purchases

I hope everyone is happy. I did read and thank every one of your posts but it has all blurred into one fog in my mind now. The no computers worked brilliant and the migraine went. I had to see the DVD menu today to put Cars on for Logan and it came on again ARGH. Lee keeps saying 'oh no its a brain tumour' as a joke.. yes very funny mr marshall!!

AWW!! your helpers are beautiful and I will imagine them and feel warm now knowing you was so kind to send your good thoughts to me xx
