    Morning all... sorry to hear about everyone's aches and pains. I have a hospital appointment later which I am not looking forward to; am having to stop myself phoning to cancel. Ah well, the trials of life.

    Just catching up on the weekend thread - Claire, your jewellery is absolutely stunning! Did you teach yourself? And can you PM me or post the link to your website?

    Claire you should probably take the link to your website off, as it can be seen as promoting something that you will benefit from. If you want to put it up it needs to be on the referrals page I think.

    to be honest i don't make the jewellery to make a lot of money from it, i make it because i love doing it, but theres only so much jewellery you can give away lol, i have to sell some to pay for more beads!! (no wonder i'm broke lol).

    If the coral set don't sell in the next month or so i'm going to keep that myself i think :)

    Ooooh, the Blue Moon bracelet is absolutely divine. Such a pity it's sold out, but I'll be keeping my eye out for your new website!

    couldn't anyone else have carried the hoover about for you? and helped with the ironing?

    Hubby had taken the kids out to his Mums and to the park, I should have left the jobs but I'm a martyr and when I decide I want a job done I can't leave it, or it'll drive me mad! :o

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
