Ohh Ohh Ohh how could I forget 40 Promarkers were waiting for me under my doormat when I got home:j Should be fuming with the postman for leaving them so obviously on show :mad: but I'm so happy they are here and now I can hide them before OH gets home and introduce them slowly, don't want to rush things now do I :rotfl:

40 Promarkers, way to go :T Sorry to hear about your shoulder but sounds like something they can help get better xxx

Glad it wasn't just me then! I'm definately going to make another one, my SIL saw the one I'd made and asked if I'd make her god daughter one, she's offered to pay me as well, but I've never sold a card, so wouldn't have a clue what to charge!

Meant to say good luck with your holiday prep and seeing the OT at work.

Ooohhh your first sale, that's brilliant :j :j :j

Flying on with Hugs for Rusty what a s**t that consultant was, typical man just bumbling along with his ideal world without thinking about reality and feelings.

Re: Diego, def Option 1 and no you don't need to mat it for 3 year olds, just how long do you think that topper will last in the rush to get to chocolate?

Colouring looks fab.

Think I was in hospital waiting room same time as you as also saw queenie in her carrriage and we did have sound, it was all to do with parliament and the new government (couldn't find a yawning smilie!)

Had ultra sound scan on shoulder and no ruptures or tears but there is inflamation of the tendons. Physio for neck booked for 18th and the consultant for the 20th so will see what happens next.

Must dash X

Hope you get more luck that I have!! hope physio works well for you! I went with option 1 as the jury seem to be of the same opinion, I have made up 9 completely, have made the toppers for the other 21 though just need to get them sorted but real life got in the way ... Son snatched TV remote from Daughter, and did it so nastily it smacked him in the mouth, cue lots of blood and screaming and swelling well I guess he'll not do that again in a hurry, he is so nasty at the minute! Whoops sorry went off on a tangent!

Option one for me too
sending you hugs, you should write a letter of complaint about that horrible man

have you been back to Tamworth recently,we are looking for places to eat, hubby also pointed out that the hobbycraft store is close to the HIE so it would be rude not to visit

Can't be bothered with complaining to be honest, I fell out with him the first time I met him and since then there is always someone else present in the room i.e nurse and the recordery thingy is always on aswell .... just don't have the energy for real life at the minute let alone things like that!
Not been back to Tamworth since last year for my Gdads funeral. Not sure on best places to eat but a pub which always used to be nice (carvery) was pretty pigs Not sure if you have children or not or if you do if they will be going with you but if so then a place to go is definately Ash end house farm :j I love that place and I am 27! Hobbycraft is on Ventura retail park and there are various other places on there that are occasionally worth a nosey in depending on what you want. There is a massive asda and Hobbycraft is also reasonably big! Enjoy your trip! ....

:grouphug: Nasty man, wonderful bedside manner, NOT! How on earth does he expect any weight loss if you are having difficulty even walking. You've got every right to be pi**ed off with him. Has he got a brother who's a doctor and lives in Essex? Mine had a moan about my weight, he forgets all about reaching for a large dose of steroids whenever I complain about being wheezy.

Rusty, there's such a lot of black dotty shading on the camera that you probably wouldn't need so many greys, perhaps going over it a second or third time in places to darken will help.

Oops forgot to say option 2, with option 1 tied and on not matted

I have to be nice Wifey as he will stick needles in me in the future or even a scalpal!! :eek: lol :rotfl: I might get the Wii fit out tonight and do some Step on that ... only thing is that I may not be able to walk tomorrow :rotfl:

Haven't forgot your images, or flourgirls, just trying to get DD's party stuff sorted then I can get back in the land of cyber with lovely people and no nasty men!!

For that image I used cool grey 1, 2 & 4 and coloured the cheese vanilla with one of the yellows over the top then mouse in normal mousey colours! don't think I need any more greys! lol

now that you have mentioned steroids I can blame consultant next time as it was steroid (or as he says Steeeee - a - ryod) injection so can blame that! :rotfl:

Thanks Dragonllew - I agree about all of us being skinny, I would look stupid too small, I am very broad shouldered so skinny for me isn't good, they I suppose are only telling me what I already know but I just don't want it chucked in my face at every available opportunity!!

Giggle - Love the treats!

Thanks to everyone else for the comments you lot are so lovely! I am dreading sat night when I take down all my get well soon cards, wonder if I can put them up once DD's Bday cards come down? only problem is we usually fight for space as I like to leave birthday cards up for 2 weeks if I can !

Oooh almost forgot Wifey I saw this and thought of you!


Mind you I may be a serial spammer so the link will probably dissapear! *insert rolly eyes!*

ETA: Congrats on the 40 promarkers arriving :j I miss buying mine, I suggested to OH I should start buying copics now and he told me not a chance ... except there was swear words in with it! so I will stick to collecting house mouse stamps instead he can't moan then .... well he can but then I will moan about all this camera stuff which keeps arriving :rotfl:

sorry you had a carp time at the hospital rusty

I am still getting migraines and have made an appointment with the gp tomorrow as 4 in 4 days is not good. I am trying not to spend too much time on the computer as it doesn't do my head much good.
will be back as soon as I can shake the headaches...

Sorry snipped you. Just having cup of tea before racing off for PTA meeting. Just had to ask Rusty how old is your DS as he sounds so like my DS at the moment. He has always been so loving and great with his little sister but at the moment he just seems to wind her up, snatch, answer back etc. He will be 8 in October (if he lasts that long!) Think the fact that he is going up to Juniors in September may be something to do with it as it is technically a different school just on the same grounds, and all three classes are going to be mixed up again so alot of unknowns which he doesn't deal with well.

Rant over must remind DH to go and pick said DS up from friends house, lovely and quiet here this evening .

Gotta dash .... X

Skiergirl

Just trying to catch up quickly and prob won't be around for the rest of the week - carer duty tomorrow, thurs I'm watching mastermind be recorded and fri I'm shopping with DH for clothes (for him not me )

Fab cards THE WIFE, Gem, wishful comper, Dragonllew, Rusty and TomsMum :T

Fab makes JuJu and giggle :T

Craftygranny - hope your pain improves soon x

Rusty - sorry you didn't have a better result from your appt. Your toppers and colouring look great.
When I was working there used to be a joke about certain drs - What's the difference between Dr X and God ?
Answer - God doesn't think he's Dr X

Tired Mom - glad your scan went ok - good luck for the physio

Congratulations wanna-b-rich on your top 5 and your first sale

Dragonllew - good luck for your meeting at work. Are you going abroad ?

BunBun - hope the GP can help tomorrow and you feel better soon x

Tired_Mom

BunBun - Just had to quickly say you poor thing. Glad you are going to GP, any chance it could be a need for glasses or problem with your neck.

Really have to go now..........

He is 8 in september (also if he lasts that long!!) attitude, answering back, thinking he is clever, pushing his darn luck amongst other things I swear I will kill him! :rotfl: They changed the school DS goes to from a first school to a primary school so he is there til approx 11 ... then I can either send him to the Army (horrible school in area I hate, they send kids home if their hair is the wrong length or they wear the wrong colour bobble and they MUST keep blazers on over the top of jumpers at all times .... goodness knows how they will cope in hotter weather ) or I find him a different school which is the option I prefer as I hate the Army, I agree with discipline but I won't be able to hold my tongue with the teachers :rotfl:

No just to South Wales for the week. My meeting went fine at work I'm going back on the monday after we are home from holiday initially just for 10hrs doing a different job where I can work at my own pace so if I need to get up and move around I can. Also complained about the way my assistant manager spoke to me last time I went in so feel better cause I got that off my chest lol he was so rude I felt as if I didn't want to even go in there let alone speak to them.
