    DTB - please be careful with your shoulder - that's how mine started - my shoulder blade wasn't working properly and sticking out - it's loads better now but stills gives me jip try sitting up straight and rotating your shoulder down and back and holding it there.

    Thanks - wil try and get an appt in the morning. Ex OH was really useful this evening and was talking about latest procedures for cartiledge (Sp?) damage. Don;t worry I wasn;t silly enough to divorce a dr - he just sells heath insurance!

    In the meantime I'm trying tried and tested wine + painkillers. Stuff the WW points!

    Beautiful creations everyone!

    Hope those of you who are poorly start to feel better soon.

    Darling OH is really worried now that tomorrow is nearly here - he's been quite chirpy but the closer it's got to getting his results tomorrow, the more he's worrying.

    I decided to take myself off into the dining room and work on the orders I got for a nappy cake and a birthday towel cake - oh and made a birthday card for a work colleague too.

    I just need to add some flowers to both cakes once I find my pliers!!

    Sal I hope everything goes alright tomorrow for your DH. I will be thinking about you x Gorgeous "Cakes" and lovely card.

    I have to be up at 6am tomorrow to take my Dad into hospital for 8am, he is having an operation sometime tomorrow he's 76 so I'm a bit worried. The hospital told us he will probably have to stay in about a week after, I don't like the idea of my Mum being on her own but she is so independant. I think we will have to compromise and let her get to the hospital on the bus for visiting, meet her there and then take her home. My sister and brother live in the same village but they both work full time, but at least they can see her at night time.

    Dont think I will have time for crafting tomotrrow. Will catch up on Thursday

    Hi guys, I'm just about to go to my bed but before I put the lappy off tonight I decided to start my own blog. I have a question for you guys cos you all seem to be really experienced bloggers. How or where do you get your great backgrounds? The standard templates are ok but I want something different and more me.

    Hello
    Still not had time to post all I should:o. I have seen some fabulous cards on my limited blog hop rainmac, Padster, thrifty,lei & Dragonllew flourgirl DTB to name but a few - think I commented as I viewed - if nor - sorry.

    Mel - can't wait to see your mosaic

    Sally - sorry to hear of your facebook woes, just shows how a good thing can be bad sometimes. Hope it's soon resolved for you - great 'cakes' btw. Good Luck for OH tomorrow!

    Mimmacka - Hello!

    Flourgirl - Hope all goes well for your Dad tomorrow and Mum copes OK without him. Think it's brill that your son & DIL would like you to clean for them - My Mum used to do it for us when she gave up work, it was simply the best time ever - spends for her and I used to come home to a lovely clean house, ironing done, often the makings of our evening meal ready, or I'd go home to have lunch with her Bliss!
