    Sally- I've managed to do it (I think) no idea how!!

    And decision has been made - I AM going out tonight!! Won't be buying anything to add to the tool box although I will snaffle a catalogue to bring home so OH can buy me something!! hehe!

    Right off to comp some more seen as OH is home and is watching a film with the kiddies!

    I've just given up, had to restart ff loads of times, and just got fedup!
    Enjoy your day!!

    CM - Recovering from our extra long chats yesterday?;) I had chicken pox when i was 9...can't remember much about it, but just make sure she doesn't pick the scabs, cos that can llead to permanent scars!:o

    Nicky - Don't worry, wasn't offended! Hope your dh gets better soon!! He really should see the doctor!! Blackmail/bribe him if you have to!:rolleyes: ;)


    (((Luck and hugs))) to everyone!!

    LOL stopping her picking and scratching will be difficult because she's not even three yet and autistic so she struggles to understand reasons, she will understand me saying dont scratch but she wont understand why... and even if she does understand it doesnt mean she'll listen LOL thankfully they dont seem to be itchy ones yet... but they are spreading... i keep noticing new ones popping up, she doesnt seem to poorly though just very clingy. :rolleyes: :confused:
    I can only please one person a day.... Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either!!
    very greatful for almost everything i read on MSE (except for the nasties!)

    I think the tree is a lovely idea, I have a named rose for our little baby girl that we lost.
    Chicken pox, cmc oh no! I though my dd was going to get it last week but she hasnt - yet! There is so much of it around.
    Now there was more i was going to say to people and I cant remember now so sorry!
    Oh yeh, was about the postals for Sally I think - most of my wins have been from the postal thread, in fact nearly all of them. It is expensive and time consuming but for me it works! (stamps are going up again in APril do it will be even more expensive then) xx

    My friend who comps from that other site (!) has just started to do the postals off the back of my success and she had her first win within 10 days! It takes staying power too as it is time consuming. I am a bit of an "admin Queen" so I actually really enjoy it! (very sad I know) xx
