    Ames (or anyone else) have you any knowledge about what happens on a doctor's visit for DLA. My daughter received a letter this morning, saying that a doctor is visiting on Tuesday (short notice, but luckily we will both be here) and she is really getting worried about the kind of things he will ask or be looking for.

    I've sent her a couple of emails, if she or you want more info just let me know.
    Oh God Mum has just dropped a huge money related bombshell.

    Please some tell me not panic.

    ok heres my latest project :)

    The watch is gorgeous Claire, I made myself one a few years ago but the clock bit fell off really quickly, I'd used wire with beads on as a strap and the crimp beads weren't strong enough.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    That sounds lovely..........my engagement ring is a garnet and often gets compliments even though it was cheap as chips at the time:o

    It's not the size of the price-tag that gets the compliments - it's the babe wearing it... :kiss:
