    "give it a good shot" :rotfl: I like that!

    Yep, the bruises have to be seen to be believed - Enjoy the archery!

    And I love the sound of organic gardening - there's quite a few things on my thread these days about natural gardening, and *loads* on Fay's.

    Just caught up! Sorry things have been so traumatic for you of late...fingers crossed for the results :) Great re the archery...good to have a cheapie hobby....all dfw and no fun makes us all dull b***! Cheap hols also good - for me part of the dfw benefits has been finding cheaper things that I enjoy rather than endless, frantic shopping that I used to do iykwim! big hugs, lots of prayers and when the going gets tough, take it a day at a time :)

    Planting with JJ sounds a lovely idea. My nephews and nieces love sowing seeds and things and seeing them grow (and when I were a wee lass I used to eat worms and pansies :o)....hmmmm wonder what that says about me now :eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl:

    Thanks everyone..
    Karmacat......That'll teach me not to read my post before submitting it...doh.
    Managed archery for just over 2 hours tonight but got quite painful ..it's our last lesson next week but also the day of the results at the hospital..so depending on results will depend on how well I do at archery I guess.

    So glad yours was benign RMCs.

    Thanks for thinking of me everyone..all those positive thoughts and prayers will be doing something.

    ooh, growing cress in eggshells.......that could be a fun nostalgia thing to do one day for a laugh.......you could have a theme to the faces that are painted on the eggshells.....X factor judges, footballers during the world cup, popstars.........

    I think I have just found myself a new hobby :rotfl:
