would beware doing the competitions on mse Nixi as I had mine pulled once when I was doing barefoot books a couple of years ago.
Nothing to stop others posting them on the competitions board though.

Elly - hope all okay

nothing doin in skint street this week think i've hit a wall - will just enjoy the wee break!Dont think i've got the John Deere order - doubt she didnt like my desins - oh well!
off to my bed now have been trying to get into my book but struggling - the girl with the ? tattoo or something - great reviews but am not sure yet, cant make up my mind if i now want Stephen Fry's or Robbie Williams autobiography, think Stephen Fry's might be a bit more interesting. did a bit more christmas shopping and bagged a bargain 4 bottles of Stella and a glass in a gift set for £2.00 (Asdaonline)- actually ordered 9 but only bagged 6, will do for BIL's xmas, raffle prizes etc. and m&m had underarmour tshirts for under £3 so got 3 for DS playin rugby in the winter.
noticed on another thread, possibly grabbit, that w h smith had a peppa pig play doh set down from about £16 to £6.49! might be useful for those that still have nippers,
right am away now - have a good Thursday - Jo enjoy your wages!

hi all well turns out my old mother has breast cancer , was waiting for results ,she had biospsy last week so unfortunately this has proved positive ,think i might be spending quite a bit of time in hospital waiting rooms over the next few months.bad timing in view of my neice however consultant seems nice so thats a good start .
well ev1 else will just need to make better targets to make up for mine stuttering to a halt someone needs to hit £10,000 cant have bingo coming back and blagging the glory .
work tommorrow so speak tomorrow night bye!

Oh Elly. Not sure what to say hun. I guess so much depends on staging etc. My kids great grandma had breast cancer a couple of years ago in her early 80's and this summer was hiking hills round Aberdeen like she was 30 not mid 80's. However I think she was lucky with the stage she caught it at and being a very fit active woman as well. Still I do know a few other women who have got through it well too. But you know all that and it doesn't make it any easier at all I'm sure.
Must be a very scary time for her and you and your family who have already been through so much.
Have been thinking about you and always around if you need to chat.
Big hugs even if they are not your style.

Oh Elly.... big hugs..... At least she has you to care for her! In cases like this support, love and caring can make all the difference.

Elly – massive hugs and the very best wishes to your mum and your family. I am glad that the consultant seems to be nice. When you are going through such a difficult time you want to feel comfortable with the person who is treating you. Once again massive hugs xxx
Skintbint – well done on getting the Xmas shop done, I am nearly at the finish line with mine just need to pick up a few gift vouchers here and there.
As for me productive evening even though the day was a bit of a bust, I was able to get some design work and sorted out 2 more invitation designs and I had one more idea on the way to work this morning. Didn’t sleep until 1 AM; I just worked away with the company of a mate and some crappy reality T.V.
Going to get back on the case this morning as I have to get that flyer designed – the timeline is soooo tight with the production side of things. So off to work I go hey ho x

Rosie

Elly Big hugs. my thought and prayers are with you and your Mum

Skint I don't know if you shop at teso but I got an email today saying they are giving 200 extra clubcard points with Robbie William book.

Has anyone heard from Saucy?

hi thanks for the kind thoughts however i'm fine with it ,just think it will be a lot of running around over the next few months .no point worrying until we know if its spread or not to be honest.
to be honest for a big family we keep really well considering the normal risks of being alive if you know what i mean.
i'm glad everyone is going with it and getting christmas sorted ,i'm going to try ebay as the weather up here is not fit for bootsales at the moment well done dilli on the deadline

jo70mo

Hi Elly, it does sound like its going to be very busy and I know what you mean about the risk of being alive.
I've not started on Christmas but have a few ideas. problem is they may still be ideas by the 19th December and then I'll be flapping. lol.
I used to be so organised for christmas but not any more.
Am starting to contemplate ebay again myself but it fills my heart with dread and irritation just thinking about it. I think my brain is not compatible with the ebay way of doing things for some reason.
Well my pay went in and tax credits so felt very rich for this time of the month. can now afford the rest of the mesh to finish off the new duck pen. woohoo. must remember it is a whole month till I get paid again though.haha.
DH's band may do a short west coast of scotland tour next Easter which might be fun but definitely not glamorous! would love to own a camper van. maybe I could paint our people carrier and disguise it as a groovy camper van.
whoa I seem to be in complete waffle mode tonight so going to stop now.
