    Hello all

    Haven't posted on here since before christmas, cardmaking sort of got put aside in favour of cross stitch for a while.

    Just a question though, I want to get back into it and I'm looking for a simple way to cut large circles and other shapes and wondered if anyone can tell me if this system is any good/ easy to use
    :

    I have this set and it is good for cutting shapes, you just follow the shape with the cutter and the blades cut most things, it's £22.99 in argos, ( or I think thats what I paid for it)
    Take care Jo x

    :Tjuju, beautiful bracelet
    i bought one similar (though not as pretty, not as feminine, it was a bit chunkier, so not as nice as yours) for my stepdaughter last year

    the £££ would make you go:eek:

    i made 2 quilled hearts yesterday, and then decided to stop, as i got an email saying my new craft order had been dispatched and i would receive it today:T
    i could look and see what i ordered, but i will just wait & see whats in it when it comes:D

    i have been reading through this thread
    so many very clever peeps here
    very talented indeed:T

    Morning all. Sorry for being AWOL again. Have tried to keep up but failing miserably, I was up to date with blogs yesterday evening! Need to catch up on them again.

    OH is off back up north tonight as he doesn't get paid if he isn't there so not sure how I am going to manage the kids on my own for the next couple of days! :(
    Still waiting for a referral from doctors, phoned them yesterday and nothing had been done, called back this morning and nothing is even mentioned on the system and yet apparently the girl on the phone said they were trying to help me?? I kind of shouted at her and told her I wanted an appointment with my own doctor which she refused!!! :mad: they make me so mad!! so I am going down there at 10:30 and will sit and wait until I am seen!, not sure how I will get down there yet :rotfl:

    Hope everyone is ok? sending hugs to those who need them :) xxxx

    Padster - I started the I spy card yesterday, I am full of ideas so put them down on paper but can't sit at the table for too long because of the pain!

  • Rusty - huge, huge hugs to you. I know you don't like to ask for help but would your family help. If that's a silly comment, please ignore it. I have a very small family (Mum and brother, no in-laws) where it is my role to support them, they cannot even see that I am in need of help and support myself. When I asked for help, my problems were denied as not as important as their issues.

    Do you have a neighbour or friend that could maybe come to your house with her kids?

    Is there a disability charity in your area that do home visits?

    Please tell your doctor that you cannot cope and need help now. Ask him for a written letter, get it on record. Ask for a home visit, they'll soon find you an appointment at the surgery. Self-refer yourself to social services. It is so wrong that we have to fight like this for help in this country.

    Please take care of yourself and let us know how you get on.

    Love Thriftyxxx

    If I think of anything else I'll post.
  • Thank you to everyone for your support and encouragement yesterday - Section 2 of the ds's DLA form is now complete :T. It is a soul-destroying form, when you see every last little thing that is wrong with your son all written down in graphic detail, it is heart-breaking. The positive side of this is that I am so proud of him for coping so long in mainstream by himself without support. No wonder his mental health took such a hammering. That's another positive, he is so much happier than he was a year ago. Hopefully, this will just be a straight renewal of DLA for him and Carer's Allowance for me but as they say, time will tell.

    Sorry, this is another me, me, me post :(. My knees are buckling again. Dh's job is under threat, the company is hanging on by the skin of it's teeth. All the familiar signs are there, long term staff and managers on higher wages are being made redundant; people are leaving and not being replaced; staff are going on sick because they cannot cope with the increased workload and dealing with continual customer complaints of poor service; people's jobs are being made so unpleasant they are almost being forced to leave (great for the company, no need to pay redundancy) etc, etc. Dhs job is being chipped away at, slowly everything he does is being taken off him and passed over to a central automated system - he reckons that over the next month 90% of his job will be taken off him and there is no sign of anything replacing it. So it's not looking good. Jeesh, that's all we need, three adults in one house on benefits with a mortgage to pay. Trying very hard "not to bleed until we're shot" but it's hard when your staring down the barrel of the gun :(

    Love to all and huge hugs to anyone else out there who needs one.
