    Thank God it is 4 - 0, I stalked off downstairs because the OH is convinced that Arsenal winning or losing is based on whether I am in the room or not. So, I ran away - he get's highly emotional if they lose. He didn't eat the last time that they lost.

    Joey, you are not weird I love parcels - although my neighbours probably wonder what is going on as half of the time they have to sign for my packagaes when I am out. Even when I know what I have bought there is something satisfying about opening something new :)

    Evenstar you have my full sympathy, I have a relative who unfortunately due to their behaviour I had to cease communication with. The thing about kids is they are clever it is unfortunate about your niece, but I guarantee that when they are old enough they will see through what is going on. Hugs and love, and I know that you will get through it xxx
    thanks for the support dilli
    Wish I could understand the motivation behind this kind of behavior
    Its took a long time to come to the not speaking and to be honest I would have saved myself a lot of heartache if Id stopped bothering years ago
    The thing is some people are just clever manipulators of others and my sister is one of them.My mum always takes what she says as gospel, but I never get the chance to defend myself,so to save my sanity I have to distance myself as much as possible,but sometimes it just makes you so mad:mad:

  • Who dosent like parcels being delivered
    You,d be wierd not to be excited :D
  • Thanks MoneyMabel :)

    I just realised that although I don't have a few bits I'd need to make jewellery I do have enough stuff to start a few phone charms. Much as I already loved your stuff I now have a bigger appreciation for what you do, it's just took me the best part of 10mins to get 2 beads on a pin thing and twist the end round remotely prettily, it's damn hard work. Fiddly things definately not my forte! But i'm guna do this, even if only to prove to myself that I can :)

    Bless you-thanks Yummymummy :-) Practice makes perfect on loops I'm afraid-I'm still not very good at wrapped loops thats why i use half hard sterling wire so it keeps its shep with normal loops as opossed to using more delicate wire.
    have a look at About.com-theres a jewelry (american spelling) on there that has some good tutorials for beginners thats how I started!
