Not to be rude, but what's your name on FB and I will try and find you then point you in the right direction.

I have sold quite a few things, but have just swapped a sizzix boutique in exchange for some stamps, some shrink plastic accessories (i'm hoping to put keyrings and magnets on my cards) and cash, not a bad swap really as i have a big shot so don't use it!

Have sent you a PM, thanks for helping! Don't know why I can't find it Fingers crossed for your hubbies interview!

Paddingtondoo, have posted off your prize this morning. Only went to Post Office and DD collered me for £2 worth of sweeties, gets more expensive every time I take her anywhere :rotfl:

That's fabulous news Vicki, got everything crossed for you both xxx

Jowri, I am loving you loving Crafty Sellers as you have bought some of my things x

Do any of you follow Jacque's blog, she has some not so good news here, lets get wearing knicks inside out for her :A

I took my DS1 to the GP this morning as he is having lots of wee accidents and at the age of 7 he really shouldn't be. We've got to go back on Thursday for blood tests, eeekkk how do I handle a 7 yo having a blood test :eek: Bribery of something nice afterwards I guess He is so embarrassed about it and the GP thinks there is something definitely wrong (it's not a water infection). When I tracked back it has been occuring for nearly a year. I am so ashamed that we have shouted and screamed at him for being lazy when all this time he couldn't help it happening. With the holidays and him being with me 24x7 for a couple of weeks I have been able to keep track and be totally aware of what happens. Bless him, what a failure of a mother I am GP said it could be diabetes, sign of a small bladder, muscles not working correctly... Please send calming vibes to Northampton at 11am on Thursday, I've got cream to rub on his arms to help numb the skin for the needles, going to use the whole tube I think

:j:j:T:T That's great news Vic Keeping everything crossed for you both :T:T:j:j

Rainmac Sending you calming vibes - poor wee soul. Hopefully it's something simple that can be easily sorted. Oh and you are definitely NOT a failure of a mum and don't say that again or I shall be forced to come to your house and cuttlebug you

Just seen this on Lidl site - it's due in on 22/8 - thought it would be quite good for holding buttons, brads, gems etc.

Rainman, you aren't a bad mum at all. My friend's son had loads of problems and it turned out he had a problem with the tubing to his bladder and they did an op. I'm sure he'll be fine with the blood tests. I would suggest they take it through a butterfly canula out the back of his hand, it's much less painful and far easier for children to handle - remember i'm not medical, but I had a few ops when I was younger and lots of blood taken, even now they can only ever take blood out of my hand as the minute tehy go near my arm I seem to cut off all blood supply to that area

Thanks for sharing, have been following her blog but had not seen the most recent post. Hope that good news comes soon and that all is well!

Sorry to hear about your son, hope it goes quick and painless on Thurs. Shouldn't put yourself down, bet you are a fab mum! It's just easy to miss things sometimes with all the things us mums have to remember especially when they are at school! Had to take my DD1 to have her preschool boosters a few months ago Was horrible, had to get hubbie to hold her whilst I attempted not to cry :rotfl: What a wimp, even felt sniffly when taking my LO for her baby ones!

Hello! I've not been about for a couple of days but now have a few minutes of 'me' time so here I am, unable to remember a lot of what I've read........

Viclspence - Fingers well & truly crossed for your DH tomorrow.

padster - well done on winning & thanks for the new challenge. LOL at the search for 'uniform' uniform wearing you out!:rotfl:

rainmac - Poor DS I do hope there is a simple explanation and an easy remedy - Definately some sort of reward is called for after the bloods - toy/stickers or is he too old for stickers? Maybe also a bit of 'kid'ology - that it's not so dissimilar to a jab that he's had before and was brave for? I've no idea really! Can you tell?:o
As for you, I think you can have a crafty spend afterwards too for being a brave Mummy.:) You are NOT to run yourself down either, or I'll be behind PepPop.:rotfl: As you say, it's probably come on gradually and we all know little boys get absorbed in what they are doing & 'forget'. Also hope that a pacemaker will be a viable solution for your Nan. ((hugs)) x

Afternoon ladies, vic - ooh fingers crossed for your hubby!!

rainmac - I was going to suggest emla cream but it sounds like you have got it that will work a treat - dont beat yourself up over it - omg if you were in our house when we had a problem with no.1. son not doing no.2's wont go into gory detail but lots of shouting screaming tears and that was just me!!! But it got sorted - fingers crossed he'll maybe just need some tablets to strengthen his bladder. Distraction will help maybe take a comic in while he has it done or a ds??

Joined crafty sellers - omg I think it goes tooo fast for me:o lol - wish I'd joined earlier when I saw some of the stamps that had gone - pah!! maybe next time.

Mind you, not that I have a lot for stash now £76 down on 2 pair of school shoes :eek::eek::eek:.
