shaz - oh I am so very pleased - take it slow - but its fantastic news xx

isom - you sound proper whacked out - try and have a rest this weekend xxx

chalky -- lovely cardigan - and yes I cant wait to see Baby Gilberto in it xx

roamin - phew I thought England was difficult with paperwork but that just takes the biscuit! - in the age we are in with "big brother watching" and every organisation supposedly knowing more about you than you do - and all the computer system why is it more complicated now than years ago - I can see you locking yourself in your sweatshop before much longer and hiding away :rotfl:xxx

kathy - excitement is building xxx

Have just packed up a big bag of bits for Lou to send off tomorrow and now I know still just in deadline for puppetlady i can send some bits off that direction too

HI everyone.

Great news, Shaz. Baby steps at first, though, but good luck!

Jean - Chalky is right, I do sympathise and I know several people here who have had enough of that side of France and one couple, who have been here for seventeen years, are going back to the UK! I don't think DH and I will will be far behind them! I'm still battling on two admin fronts here!

Anyway, I haven't been around much this last couple of days because life has a habit of getting in the way and, worse, getting me down. Sadly and worryingly, my BIL is now having to go back onto chemotherapy. He has been having regular scans and, until last week, seemed to be progressing well, but they've found a second tumour on his liver, so they will get him in asap. I'm just so pleased that I will be back there soon. On top of that, my mum's memory problems are getting worse, despite the doctor saying that it wasn't anything serious. My sister seems to think it must be dementia or Alzheimer's, so she's trying to get someone else to take a look at her. My poor sister is having to shoulder all this alone, and she's not in the best of health herself. It makes me feel a million miles away; I'm sure I'm not meant to be here, and should be back there with them all. I shall see how things are when we go back in December, and may decide to stay anyway.

Anyway, I'm sorry if I've brought you all down but it's good to be able to get it down on paper, so to speak. As for me, I'm off to the doctor later today because my inhalers don't seem to be doing their job properly.

Will call back later.

Love to you all.

Raoming sorry you had such an awful day...French red tape would drive me nuts! Hope today is better!
Puppetlady well done you! Thats incredible. Sorry I didnt contribute but did support OCC here with two boxes...
Socky good that you saw both boys; please, please just focus on you for a while. They have lots of support around them and you have alot going on with breaking arm, moving etc...you need to look after you
Kinsey thats good news! The craft fayre will prob be early dec...gives me time to at least finish couple of piggies!
Right snooze time girls; hugs for thosethat need them!
Crossed posts...miol poor you sounds very worrying re bil and can understand that being so far away is even more difficult as you feel so powerless to DO anything; sure the right decision will come with time; maybe now is just one of those "plod" stages in your life? big squidge for you...

I have spent the whole day in the sweatshop - talk about total enjoyment eh!...................finished four knitting needle/crochet hook rolls, I only needed to make one but hey if you cut out for one you are just as well cutting out for 4, if you sew one you are just getting into your stride by number 4. Have now stepped away from the machines, going to look up a recipe DH mentioned something during the week so I thought I would see if I could possibly do it for tomorrow night.........might take me all day to get it all up together but am willing to have a go.
Kathy, sorry to hear your news about the BIL as well as your Mum, it really isn't easy being a gazillion miles away when your nearest and dearest really need you - tough call.
I have been making book marks in my sitting in a comfy chair time...........just counted them there are about 20 ..........I don't think I even know that many people! This obsessional work will have to stop, why oh why can't I just make ONE of something and be happy - no don't bother to answer that one, I wouldn't listen anyway.
Shaz - you know that if you take it really slowly with the boys they will not see you as a threat, just hang on in there it will all work itself out eventually.
Love and cuddles to you all and I will try and pop in properly over the weekend, if I haven't gone on to some other daft job!

mioliere so sorry to hear your news about your BIL and your Mum, it must be awful for you. Perhaps a different opinion might get your Mum different treatment?

Great news Shaz, hope all goes well.

Just popping round the door for a natter while dinner is cooking,:)

had a phone call from DS2/DIL and DGS earlier they are in florida staying with some friends for a week in a villa belonging to friends dad...DGS is sooo excited they were off to the magic kingdom after talking to us...

OH has lost another 1 lb, he's still having trouble keeping anything down, but we were warned radiotherapy effects will be whizzing around inside him for about 3 weeks after the treatment finished, almost that now so hopefully he should soon be feeling more like his old self.
I made a shepherds pie earlier so I am hoping he will be able to get some of that down...

kathy - I am so sorry to hear the news from blighty is not good, it is awful for you being so far away and not able to lend a hand x
shaz - so pleased it went well with Daniel and Josh, so.. slowly-slowly do your own thing and they will come around
jean - I feel so :mad::mad::mad: for you, I'm sure these b****y jobs worths take a perverse pleasure in making life arkward for people
puppetlady - I went into your blog yesterday well done on your 100 puppets, also had a wander round the OCC site, all those colourful boxes, it will be so exciting for all those far away children, opening their own box :j

started another homeless strip last night...think I might be gettin addicted :rotfl:

Off to dish up now
love to all
