Need some help my daughter enterd the Chris Evans story comp she made it to top 900 out of 30,000 but sadly we have just been told that she has not got any further. She is gutted about it and I was just wondering if you guys had any suggestions to help cheer her up.

I need store promarkers I don't have hundreds of them maybe just around 30-40 at the minute and i love the board you get to store them in but it would look silly at the minute as I only have a hanful of them lol I want to be able to see them easily. I will defo try what you suggested for my nesties Think I need put a few shelves up so I can have all my things visable because I forget what I have if they aren't in front of my nose! so clear storage wud be useful. I've been saving a few jars just not sure exactly what to do with them yet lol I was trailing different sites and videos and defo would like to get a wire type kitchen roll holder with the wee shelf above it for my ribbons to go on...just need to find one to buy! lol Any advice or suggestions is very much welcomed my heads spinning with everything I need do at minute lol

Just came for a lye down I'm still in agony with my back, got stuck on the floor and couldn't get up

Oooh I saw a fab idea the other day for using jam jars as storage glue the lid to the bottom of a shelf and then fill the jar and screw into the lid hth and my promarkers are stored in a shoe box which I filled with toilet roll inners and then my promarkers sit in the tubes in colour groups, I bought some small round stickers which I colour with each promarkers and then stick to the end of the cap so I can see the colours at a glance.

Afternoon ladies -it's been a beautiful day down here in Swindon, I hope it's been nice for you all too.

Rusty, it's lovely to hear that your pain is finally a thing of the past - I really hope you stay that way for a long time to come.

Pennib - your cards are absolutely lovely.

Wifey - sorry to hear about your son - but pleased to hear about your nose - finally!

Marg- just the thought of eye drops make me go all shivery! Silly reallya s I manage contact lenses perfectly well!

Louby - not sure about bio oil, but lavender oil is really good for burns and can even be used neat. Hope it all heals OK.

Twink - sorry to hear your back is bad. Just realised my post makes this thread look like it is full of a bunch of old crocs !! I've just produced my very own ultra sophisticated ribbon storage system for rolls of ribbon - I bought teeny flower pots, filled them with air drying clay and stuck some thin dowel in them - job done! Might even post them on the old homepage too.

Rainmac - I'm glad you went for the tickets in the end - it's not every year your team gets in the final. DHs cousins hubby is a huge Saints fan so he's taking his 8 year old too.

ZLS - your daughter did absolutely brilliantly to get so far in the competition - my boys didn't even bother entering!! If she is into writing and reading stories then how about a treat trip to Waterstone's for a lovley new book?

Some of you may have seen on my blob about my fabby new shoes, well I'm very chuffed with myself because I have sold over £100 of iots and bobs on eBay so practically paid for them. In my mind that means I could perhaps buy another pair! Please go see The Glass Slipper Company if you haven't seen them already - they are so beautiful.

Melissa - it's great news that Tilly is sleeping so well, but it's also hard having a wide awake baby in the day isn't it?

FF - hope your cold gets better soon.

DTb - lovely to see you back here. I've also got 80 orders of service to make - wouldn't be too bad but I can't even get the printing right at the moment!

Have a lovely evening everyone.

I just tried to find a way of making her story into a book but as its a short story there is nothing out there. All the books have 20 pages a bit sily buying a 20 page book and have 19 blank ones. Will have to have a think and see what I come up with

Yeh we do have one but I wouldn't say its all that big tbh and I haven't seen much there although I did pick up a couple of small boxes for some things. I will have a look in Glasgow next time I manage up prob in the next few weeks sometime, :T
