Thankyou for the tutorial! turns out I did have it hidden in my favourites but there are so many different links that it got lost! .... 8am is early for her in the holidays ... this week she seems to be up early think she maybe knows that she has to be up early next week for the school run so her body makes her get up? through the holidays it has been 9:30-10am pretty much every day ... the secret is to hit them over the head before you put them to sleep :rotfl: I am only joking I don't really do that ... Tom is always up between 6:30-7:30 without fail it is very rare that I have to wake him up, but he just plays quietly in his bedroom bless him!! ... hope your OH gets tomorrow off! ...

I have sat and stamped some images for Marg, Rainmac and Paddingtongoo, I ended up covered in ink :rotfl: and I mean covered! it was even on my face!! now I just need to post them tomorrow!!

I am itching to craft but still in lots of pain and I forgot to call the doctors! ... so think it will be another relatively early night tonight! ..... I might see if I can make something later!

Tut tut tut, make sure you call the docs first thing tomorrow missus :rolleyes:

You asked on my blog where the word circles are from...
http://www.craftworkcards.co.uk/embellishments_list.asp?type=emb&embellishment=186 Mine are called In Circle Messages Christmas - Black. I've got a scallop circle Quickutz die that fits perfectly And the papers are DCWV Winter Stack, some of them should be coming your way as I posted your parcel this afternoon x

Marg, posted my Christmas cards to you today and anyone I promised stamped images too, they are also in the post

Went to dr's this afternoon have been signed off for another 2 weeks and have some proper painkillers this time - will be able to craft in peace - shoulder needs to be exercised and really plays up if I sit still for too long :rotfl:.

So sorry your shoulder is causing you so much trouble, good that GP is helping sort it out though x

I will I promise, I have to cause they really aren't working not only that but on Sat morning I had a letter from a private clinic in the city giving me a new date for a scan ... tues 8th, only problem is that is when DS goes back to school. And I have tried asking everyone I know up here if they can have Maddison and they are all too busy so I guess I will have to cancel it tomorrow now I am just so angry cause I really need to go especially as I am in so much pain and have put up with it now for 10 months!! I could just sit and cry all day and night but no one seems to give a damn and help me by having the kids/Maddison!!

Anyway rant over, thanks for the link, and oooh thankyou for the parcel :j :j I am excited! ... I never managed to get to the post office today but I HAVE to get up there tomorrow so your images and prize will be in the post then

Paddingtongoo hope the painkillers work for you

You have to try and go for the scan, can Maddison not come with you and sit with a nurse/assistant with a colouring book or food or something to keep her occupied. You won't be in the scanner thingie for long will you, I'm sure they wouldn't mind. Can you phone them and explain she would need to come with you and see what they say, you will not be the first person who takes child/ren with them I promise x

Please don't rush to get to PO, go when it's convenient and not before

When I went for the one last week they told me under no circumstances can you take children, so I presume this rule will be even stricter as it is at a private clinic. I still need to check that I won't have to pay for it :mad: It has come at a rubbish time as MIL & FIL are away on holiday for 2 weeks!! .... I will ring them tomorrow. see what they have to say.

I will go to the post office tomorrow I promise. For some reason I am struggling to get on top of anything. I have a trifold card here for Mrs Tidge, it has been made for 2 weeks yet is still sitting here!! ... as for the one for Craftygranny well I attempted that on Fri and gave up and ripped it up .... so I need to attempt that one again in a few mins.

Can someone tell me the size of an ATC please? I know the fat page size but not the ATC .... Argh!!
