Hi Mrsow,

Wow - we are all so organised thanks to this thread. I'm still amazed.
So very many thanks Mum2one for keeping us on the straight and narrow.

Its a big thank you to us all, without you all there be noone to do the challenges - or cleaning when Miss Hoodie gets involved. Touch wood shes about 75% back to normal, ......

She does take the biscuit, - she was shown how to use mums stairlift, incase we weren't here, and mum was stuck, this morning, she walked upstairs, then called the stairlift up via the up button (thou sure she would have prefered calling it - named Jedward!!), bless her shes got it ready for mum, ... no...... she wanted to go down on it, just to make sure she kept in pratice in case of emergency!!
Had to give her 10/10 thou for her cheekiness!! xx

Ok I know it nearly June but can I join in on here now as well please :A
I have started making my christmas cards, have been doing 1 a week since christmas and will up to my making to at least 2 a week come June I suspect. At least they are all different and not costing anything as I have way too much craft stash in the cupboards already.
I have a notebook but not a lot in it yet so I'm hoping to get started and get more organised now. I have lots of good intentions but they often don't get any further than that!
