Will talk to everyone properly soon but am feeling a bit unwell and have had very bad news about my grandma - her cancer has spread and they've told us she has got 'a matter of weeks' to live - so i might be on and off for a bit, obviously going to try to see her as much as possible, take the kids cos she loves them; please don't think me rude if I miss anyone out, it's taken me ages to write this, am a bit fuzzy xx big hugs xx

    Paula- first huge hugs, so sorry to hear about your Gran, make sure you look after yourself tho as well , you are important too. And get those earrings out and wear them , why wait?! that's the good thing about earrings they always fit- can't get fat ears!! I'll make you something else as a reward when you reach target :-)

    make sure you pop in even if it's just hi and bye just so we know you are ok,

    MoneyM - I agree, although I did stay well out of the religious discussion for reasons I won't go into hence why I stayed out.
