    Good job I did card making yesterday -- no chance today !
    Must have spent most of my time on the phone to hospital...............secretary for the chest/respiratory clinic was off till Monday..........another secretary for similar dept. also off till Monday, Lady who phoned on Tuesday off till 30thh !!!:eek: I must have phoned every dept. in that hospital (slight exaggeration) Ended up with gastronomy dept. (clutching at straws by now)..........she said she couldn't help me but chest clinic lady was working tomorrow and she'd get her to phone me. By now steams coming out my ears so I told her 'thankyou, you've been very kind, unlike other departments however, I think it's ludicrous that there is no-one at any chest clinic to speak to...........a letter of formal complaint will be sent.............etc.etc.....
    5 minutes later I get phone call back to say OH's appt. is on Tuesday -not sure of time ? - and he has to go to hospital for blood test 9.30 Monday morning :eek: Bit short notice (thinking transport ????) OH said he'll be ok to drive and he'll drive for biopsy as well - lady was unsure till I told her it'll be a local anesthetic so he insists he'll be fine.
    So, thats that sorted...............just goes to show what a bit of 'complaint threat' does.............:rolleyes:
    Keep your knickers or anything else inside out.............:j
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    OMG :eek: I am so :o. One of the NEC girls has told me that the card I made has fallen apart because the DST has lost its stick. If it has happened to anyone else I am soooo sorry and very very :o:o:o
  • Ps if I forgot to mention anyone I'm sorry - MSE has been playing up for me this afternoon and the above was the third reply I'd written :mad:
  • Skiergirl it's doing the same to me and turning pages really slow .

    Mary pleased to hear you finally seem to be getting things sorted. Isn't it amazing how the one person you need always seems to be sick or on a few days off when you ring.

    Hope everyone has had a good day - i'll catch up with all the posts later, but was just wondering if anyone knew of any discount/promotional codes for The Glitter Pot.

    Thanks

    alyssa_liss - last few masculine cards I did were using a sort of buff card and brown with a rust/brown/cream stripe smaller piece of card stuck towards the top at an angle with just a brass or wooden button on.
    Always find them very hard unless they've got an interest like football or something.
