CPS - I don't think you can - just found this in the FAQ. Not sure if it helps. Since you haven't got that many posts, maybe the only thing you can do is set up a new account, and start posting under the new one?

Thanks CT - just a thought I'd had about keeping in sync with my bl*g name. I seem to think I tried to do this before and site wouldn't let me do it with same email or maybe I'm getting mixed up with some other site. Who knows at my age!!

Thought of you yesterday! I saw some tall tins in Tesco - in the biscuit aisle, Tesco's own luxury style biccies.

here's a link for the 12 x 12 boxes (7 litre) here, Kevin at Storage 4 crafts is very helpful and they've got 10% off when you check out. I think their postage is £4.95 however many you buy. I've bought 12 x 12's from the Tesco Direct shop, I'm not sure if they have them all the time. Our Tesco Direct at Chelmsford had 3 litre ones after the new year for £2.50.

Thank you - I think I'll have to place a little order I think.

Evening ladies - I'm feeling really frustrated at the minute - the house is getting on my nerves - I really want to "nest" but Elliot is unbelievably clingy at the minute. He's okay as long as I'm sat on the couch but as soon as I move he follows after me and clings onto my legs! It makes cleaning very akward!!!

Ali - yeah bump and me are fine thanks - bump is massive - can't believe that I've still got 11 weeks to go too.

Lizalloareds - sounds like you had a great time - looking forward to seeing pics.

Welshkaz - hi!!!!

Rainmac - I hopw DS2's cough is better tomorrow, I used to be into science when I was younger - I remember my Dad buying me a chemistry set and microscope.

CT19720 - love your spotty monkey!!!!!

Kirsty262 - hi!!!!!

Hi everyone

I am after a favour if any of you have time to make a card over the next day or two

I read this thread and it has really touched me.
Razorbladekisses has been in hospital since October after an overdose, the hospital tried to send her back home without proper care and she has tried again since and is now back in hospital again

The amount of thougt and care people are giving her is amazing. she mentioned earlier in her thread that she liked crafting and I have offered to make her a homemade card which she has said she would love

I thought it might be nice if she received a couple of homemade cards so if you think you might be able to then let me know

Hope you don't think me out of order asking, I just wanted to send something to show her people do care

Mad-frog - I've just read through a few of the pages of that thread and wondered whether she'd appreciate a few crafty bits to help her get started on card making - might take her mind off her problems for a few minutes. I'll happily send her some things along with a card.

Madfrog if you want to send me the details I'll be happy to send off a card

She is still in hospital, I am hoping she still has internet access tomorrow so I can get the hospital address

I don't know whether it would be better to send me the cards and then for me to make a little parcel for her to protect her identity

What do you think?

Mad-Frog - I don't mind either way - maybe you could ask her which she'd prefer.

I think that this might be the best thing to be done. She's going through a really personal thing at the moment and although all thoughts are well-intentioned it might be better to receive one parcel that she can peruse at her leisure.

Just my tuppence worth, I'll return to lurking
