Hi just a quickie does anyone know when the deadline for the Operation Christmas items to puppetlady need to be in by I seem to have bypassed the fact that we are in November already and it was not until yesterday that DS reminded me that his bits for school need to be there by tomorrow aaggghhhh - I really am hopeless I start with all good intentions and then my fuzzy brain etc forgets - if Im too late for the Puppetlady I can give them into school so at least they wont be wasted but I do feel very guilty as I promised to send them !!!

Hello everyone, yes I'm still here Chalky, and your latest makes are lovely, love the hat.

ISOM glad they got there in time and hope they are some use, when is the fair now?

f1 I have fuzzy brain syndrome as well so I write things on a calendar, only problem then is knowing what the date is.........

Shaz your pets sound delightful, hope you're ok.

A little bit of good news, after his last scan my brother's chemo nurse rang him to say the tumour had shrunk a little. Isn't that wonderful!!!

Love to everyone xxx

Kinsey -- What wonderful news! I do hope the good news continues and the treatment is a total success. The best Christmas present anyone could wish for!
Kathy -- Have we any news of you DBIL!
Pippa -- I do hope your DOH is still stabilising in the weight arena and is beginning to feel a little less exhausted.

I know there are many of our group who have health issues to deal with so I really do want to send special gentle thoughts to you all x

Had a day from Hell today when I went for the new driving Licence, the queue was all round the walls and at least two folk walked off in disgust before they were seen, I had a book with me..................she didn't like the way I filled the form in, she didn't appreciate that I didn't have my original licence (I did have a photo copy which I had scribbled all over at some stage), and then NOT ONLY could I not remember my own phone number....I didn't have my marriage certificate with me (proves that my married name is legal and not my maiden name its a very French thing - so fished in my bag and gave her my carte sejour instead -ID CARD- which is about three years out of date). She asked for my s.s.a.envelope...so I had to write that out, OH and to add further joy to my visit SHE DIDN'T LIKE MY PHOTOGRAPHS.............So I was sent off to get another FIVE TAKEN........to be honest they are just as ugly as the first lot, so when I went back in, I didn't wait in any queue, just marched right in and DH lifted her scissors off the desk cut up the photies left her two and said a swift goodbye! Oh this should take anything up to 6 months to achieve and she informed me as I had asked for HGV (for the PAMPERVAN) I need to have an annual visit to the doctor for a check up............boy am I boiling!
Apart from that little incident everything is just fine - well till the next round...........which is to be the measuring of the garden next door.........appointment cancelled another made - but we had to sign the quote and drop it back to them (TODAY) with a deposit and they will come some time on the 29th November.......I did warn them that its totally overgrown and when the light goes you can't see a sausage........WHY DO I BOTHER? Off to catch up with the postings back in a bit, but in the meantime love and cuddles to you all. Sorry I rant a bit!

been to daniel's flat for tea, and while i was there, saw joshua, and i made the first move, and we are back on speaking terms, and i have his mobile number. we are by no means as close as we were but that will take time, maybe i will always be anxious around him, due to his moods

Just a quickie from the Puppet Lady!
I'm up to my eyes with the shoebox appeal at the mo with the campaign in full swing, but if anyone has anything to send me, get it in the post asap as we'll still be going strong next week. So far we've checked and cartoned over 3000 shoeboxes, but hoping for twice this figure by the time we finish. For mor info visit www.puppetystuff.blogspot.com

hugs to all
