    Xmas Saver!
    Seems Vista print been busy, got my parcel 2day,

    Tshirt - pic of Miss Hoodie and Bailey - (shes got hooded top, he's got his dog coat with hood on) had the writing Miss Hoodie and Master Hoodie

    Tshirt - for mum - pic Miss Hoodie

    Mug - matches the t-shirt

    Pen - pic of Miss Hoodie and Bailey

    Bag - with 3 photos on - put message on The winning family is........ (mates bday)

    2 x Mugs - both with 3 pics of Miss Hoodie on

    So glad the mugs have been free, Bailey has a habit of picking the mugs up by the handle, jumping on the settee then dropping the mug........ sods law he's broke about 4, as they've hit another mug on the floor.

    Brilliant news - just checked Open Uni site, as got to download paperwork for next yrs funding, - and the results have come through from my last course, passed it, - all the markable elements I hit achieved - top of the 4 grades, so really pleased, just plodding along now attempting to work out what I scribbled down when writing this essay in rough.......it will be done by midnight, xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Hi All

    Just got my first Vista order, so thanks to all those who explained this to me.

    I got a photobook for MIL for mothers' day, a bag with a picture of our dog for a friend who dog-minds for us, a stamp and an 18th birthday banner for DS - very pleased!

    Also ordered a canvas from the other link for fathers' day - picture of me and my dad at my OU graduation last year - this after 8 years study and aged 43, so keep up the good work Mum2One, its worth it!

    Hope you all have a good weekend

    Hi again

    Just to let you know I was in Robert Dyas today and they had a big clearance on loads of gift type stuff. I got a cake stand for £5 and a mug/hot choc/hot water bottle gift set for £4 but they had loads of other stuff for £2, £3 and £4 - mainly gift sets and novelty gifts. Also went in the Card Factory and they are doing a range of about 30 cards (birthday and general) all individually wrapped and very nice at 7 for £1 - bargain!

    Hello all :j

    mum2one - well done with the OU results:T How do you find the time ?

    Been knitting second wrist warmer of the second pair today - going great guns and OH has seen some wool in the charity shop - its all new and £1.50 a ball.......not sure if thats good price or not but sounds like there's some lovely shades.

    Five freebie packets of seeds came today as well as some seed potatos I'd ordered for OH..........and they sent me some free gladioli bulbs :eek: One flower I don't like..............still, think I know someone who'll love them..............lol:)

    Hope you're all ok:)
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    Hiya Mary - just popping in to let you know I'm still alive. LOL

    Well done Mum2one for Passing your course. That's wonderful - how you find the time with everything else going on, I do not know. :)

    Hope everyone's OK. Too much for me to catch up on. Has Susan42 popped in? I've been thinking about her, I hope she's OK.

    Take care everyone - have a lovely weekend. :D

  • Hi everyone.....still getting over my op.....been put on Tramadol but it wacks me out so only taking it at night! Went to Worthing yesterday for DD's uni interview which went really well...but the place was in the middle of nowhere and we got there 2 hours early!!!! So we just hung around the college for that time. Was an exhausting day and it was raining all day.
    I am still going with the no-smoking and had the odd puff here or there but not a full ciggie!!! Its sooooo hard not smoking!! I am also going back on weight loss medication to help kick start me back to losing some more weight!! (will be good for the knees) Am 5ft tall and 13 stone! Not good

    Susan - I hope everything is sorted out for you soon and you feel better xx


    Much love to all xxx
