hi guys, every thing has gone out the window since wednesday. my mum has been feeling dizzy etc for the past 2 weeks, and having had a brain tumour 20 years ago, we have been quite worried. the GP was crap and told her to take ibuprofen and see how she felt in a week. my dad complained this morning, she saw a different ( better) doctor and has now been referred to the neurosurgeon for en emergency appointment- jan15!!! she has gone private and her appointment is now on wednesday. just feel empty. i know there has been a virus going round making people feel dizzy and we have pinned all our hopes on that. sorry for the outpour i just needed to let it out.

Fingers crossed for Wednesday, hugs to you and your family xxx

Hope everyone else is keeping warm and having a lovely weekend xxx

Hi! Marg, here's how I do mine. First of all, write your blog post with a title. (this will be your link) when you have completed your post, go to the title of your post and click on it and you should see the name of your blog and the title on the http:// line, highlight it all, press Ctrl key & C
(copy)

Open another window to the challenge blog, go to the Mr Linky bit, fill in your name etc and when it says your url put the cursor in the box and press CTRL key and V (paste), this has now linked your blog to their challenge. Go to the challenge title and highlight it and press Ctrl & C again, go back to your blog post and edit it with the challenge details and then create the link with the 'insert link' icon put your cursor in the box and press Ctrl & V, you have now linked the challenge blog to yours.

By linking the titles etc means that the challenge DT can link to the correct post immediately instead of trawling through lots of posts.

I hope this helps as I can be an old wind-bag!!:D

Thank you CT for your kind offer, yes, that's the bit I find confusing, I entered Choccy's challenge & really mucked up but didn't know how to put it right! I've been out too but only for boring groceries. Did you have a good night out last night?

Wifey - Thank you, some things I didn't know in your explanation. I have copied it to my desk top and will follow it next time I blog. I hope you are feeling better.

I think it sort of depends on the kind of cards you want to make but some of the basics would be card blanks or sheet card to make your own blanks, double sided tape and sharp scissors. You then get into the realms of pretty paper, coloured card, ribbons, flowers, stickers, images either already coloured or stamped ones for you to colour yourself... the list is truly endless If you have access to a printer you could download and print your own papers and images from a site like this (if you look around the internet there are loads of freebies). You can make your own messages to go on the front of cards using a package like Word.

Not sure how helpful this is? Am I going in the right direction?

CG - big hugs - don't know what else to say

Plenty of freebie images and sentiments here but you may be some time

I'm right in the dog house - reversed out of the drive in OH's company car into a car that was parked blocking our lane and all hell has broken loose - I just didn't see it - only minor bumper damage to both cars as I was only going slowly and the turn is quite tight anyway - I don't know how many more times I can apologise - bottle of wine in the fridge is looking very inviting and I hardly ever drink anything anymore.

Oh Padster - sending you massive hugs. The cars will be sorted just hope you are OK.

Marg - thanks I see wifey has answered your query. Had a fab night last night thank you. Went out with my best friend, and a girl who got in touch through facebook who we went to college with 20+ years ago. It was fab to catch up with her.

Sorry to hear about your Mum TomsMom - sending you hust as well.
