Thank you followers & commenters!

JHB - I've tried to see why your comments disappear & failed. Do you know what you are wearing tonight so I can look out for you? I've only seen a pic of you @ the NEC which with my dodgy eyes might not be enough. Is it live live? or recorded early evening?

Sorry TomsMum that things are much the same but hoping your Mum improves very soon. ((hugs))

((hugs)) too for Craftygranny & family. Is it switch on tomorrow for Carly?

I know it's been asked before but how do I make my long blog "htp etc" into a neat word "here" link? IYSWIM

Hi Marg,

I'm now a follower and your 3 little men look really cute.

To make a link to your blog to say "here", you just need to:

pull up the website page that you would want to link to.
highlight the word you want to create the link on in your message on MSE, so that would be 'here';
go back to the web page you want to create the link for and copy the web address so it will say something like http://ct19720.blogspot.com
go back to the MSE message where the word 'here' is highlighted and click on the button that shows a globe with a link on the bottom right [insert link]
paste into the box that appears the web address you have copied, and voila, the 'here' will be blue, and when you click on it it will take you to the website you have linked to, like this here

At work at the moment, so will catch up on the last day of posts tonight.

Hope this helps and you understand it.

Rainmac - I don't think I'm a follower on your blog Can you give me the link for it please? Don't know how I've not got it already? Hope you're feeling better today.

TSL I don't envy you - I always try to bribe OH into sanding (painting's my thing but hate the prep work)

Glittermum I hope you get plenty of help from the PTA - wow that's loads to make. How's your friend.

DTB Your bunting is fantastic. You can tell it was a labour of love and big pat on the back to &son too.

craftygranny Big hugs to you and yours.

Lou I don't blame you - you've no idea how close I came to throwing my lappy across the room in frustration. In the end it became a battle and there was no way I was letting it beat me.

Go Marg :T:T You have another stalker

Hi all, sorry I have been AWOL things are carp here at the minute. Not had a chance to catch up on the posts, or the blogs, I am sorry Just came on to apologise to all of those who asked for stamped images, I did them all on Friday morning and they are sitting here on the table in little piles!! I am posting them today though I promise, just so sorry they have taken so long to post but I had to put myself first before anything else for a little while.

Sending hugs to anyone who needs them.


CT I did see your post about not being able to find the shop on your robo software, I had the same problem and someone off UKscrappers emailed me with what to do. I will forward that to you now.

take care all, hope to be back soon.

I really love the mini basket on rainmacs blog ... does anyone know if it'd work if the size was doubled? Thinking of making one filled with little goodies for mothers day x

The globe with link icon above your message box can be found under the white smiley face - it took me ages to find it when I was told to look for the blue globe .

Also, before you past the URL of your blog you will need to delete the http:// that is already in the box. If you leave it in the link wont work - took me ages to fathom that out as well :rotfl: .

I just realised the shruggy shoulders confused smiley is no longer available, I used that a lot :rotfl: . Nothing to do with Marg's question so feel free to ignore me .

I was thinking the same thing! So long as everything stays in the same proportions I don't see why it wouldn't work to be honest, so long as the basket is made from a square.

My guys were back to school today and both got on ok, they both wanted to go and DS1 has a school trip tomorrow that he didn't want to miss so I dosed them up with medicine before leaving the house and both seem to have got on fine, yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :beer:

Craftygranny, thinking of you and your family xxx

Glittermum, how many things are you making??? If you'd like a hand with any of the makes please let me know, I'd be more than happy to help out.

Rusty, sending hugs and extra large tub of Ben & Jerry's your way xxx
