Well done Flying Fresian and ****.

Thanks for the cute freebie Scatty.

I'm pleased you got a good nights sleep Craftygranny.

I need to make a 21st card today - but I can't summon up the enthusiasm. Can someone give me a kick up the bum please? :rotfl:

Lyndach - I bought a pack of six cork coasters from hobbycraft which were plain, or there's a pack of six in Wilko's for £1.99 I think. These were already decorated but you just 'alter' them to your design.

It depends how many you need.

Lyndach if you want pub type ones i can send you some my son brings me them home from work. Just let me know.

I Haven't got the inclination to make anything at the moment and i have loads to do. don't know if it's cos i was ill or what.

Well the good news is that Elliot slept through again last night - the bad news is that he didn't go to sleep until 12.30 - aaahhhh!

Hurricaine Carly, love that Craftygranny :rotfl: xxx

Sorry you're feeling carp Rusty, please take things as easy as possible xxx

12.30am Mel, that is so not good, hope you're managing to have a quiet day xxx

I've had some not so good news from my mum , she's being referred to a stroke doctor at the hospital as it is thought now that that is what happened to her after her op. What I want to know is why nobody from the stoke department came to see her when she was in hospital :mad:. She found out yesterday but didn't ring me as she was too upset. I've had a long chat with her today and she says she feels like a ticking time bomb. Not sure what to say to make her feel any better . DS2 and I are going to go and see her tomorrow after school drop off, need to get the biggest bunch of flowers I can find to take with me.

Hugs to everyone xxx

Elysia - Thank you for the info, will have a look next time I go to either shop.
CraftyGranny - They are the type yes, but I'd need a few so don't wanna be rude/greedy.
Melissa - My little one can be the same, will go to bed very late and then sleep soundly. I've now started bathing her at 6 and leaving her in her cot to yell it out within half an hour she's started to get sleepy and is normally soundo by 7.30. Some people think it's mean to leave her but she has a small lamp on and I listen over the baby monitor incase she starts to 'proper' cry, half the time it's just yelling lol

Big hugs rainmac xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My granddad had a series of mini strokes in the 90s and has recovered after each one and hasn't had one in absolutely years

He's 90 now!!!

Annoyed that they didn't bother to see her at the time though :mad:

That's what I did too....

People thought I was such a horrible mum though as most people I came into contact with were 'wear your child all day then keep em in with you all night' people

..all right for some but *some* of us actually need rest!

congratulations *******, those cupcake images are really, really cute and for the copics win too. Does that mean you will have to buy some more copics instead of promarkers!

Craftygranny - Glad you got a good nights sleep. Its amazing isnt it how kids know exactly what they want. The only problem is now mine are older there things are alot more expensive!!

Rainmac - Sorry to hear about your mum. Sending big hugs to her and to you.

Melissa - Glad elliot slept through, hope its a bit earlier for you tonight though! I had problems with my son too and like others on here left him to cry for a while. We tended to leave him to start with for 5 mins, go into him, settle him down again and then leave it 10 mins next time. The visits got less and less eventually when he realised we werent coming in to play with him.
