Hello all :j
Managed to make a button necklace yesterday after all that..............:)
Today I thought I do a few fabric hearts with all the material I've got that could be doing with using up but the first one I tried it frayed like there's no tomorrow so I gave up on all of it. Not helped by e having a very painful day today with walking.......much worse than before:(

Needed more painkillers so rang surgery..........they haven't had discharge papers from hospital so tutted about that and got gp to phone me. Got some in the end after reeling off all the details of where I was when discharged etc then rang hospital -again - and asked them to send discharge papers through. Until gp gets them he can't arrange bone scan appt. !

But, mustn't winge..............friends coming up tomoorrow to wash and cut my hair..........much needed and no way can I bend over and do it myself.

mum2one - very annoying for you that ex didnt turn up.That is exactly what happened when i had to go to court about my DD. The court threw case out in the end because he was claiming legal aid they told him he was wasting money by not turning up when he was supposed to and he had told them it was a power cut that caused him to not turn up because his alarm hadnt gone off.My solicitor checked with electricity board who said this was untrue therefore courts were told.Didnt go down too well.7 yrs later and havn,t heard a thing off him.

If anyone has a buyology shop near them, i went in today and they were selling packets of christmas card making accessories for 50p each.

take care all xxxx

Evening

Went to the town today and got some bits we needed, nothing for gifts but got some wallpaper to finish off my craft/spare room so will be able to sort it all out properly once done and I can get the pasting table down, been up there since October I think lol. Also OH is off for a few days so he can help me with it and I want him to cut up an old cupboard to make some shelves to fit inside a spare wardrobe so I can use it as cupboard in there.

Bought a nice big canvas picture as well for our hall which had £5 off and it looks lovely out there.

Wonder how my sewing machine is getting on, dont know how long it will be before I hear from them. Will ring them up next week if I havent heard anything by then.

I got this http://www.organised-mum.co.uk/Family-Life-Book-Diary-p-42.html

It seems to have everything I need and its reduced to 5.00 and only 1.50 postage, so really pleased.

What an !!! your ex is Mum2one, not showing at the court. I have all this to look forward too Waiting on my court date. I allowed (sperm donor) to see his dd for a few hours at xmas and on her birthday, but he never asked, i had to ask him, all looks good on me for court.

I got my savings statements in for me and dd, I am really pleased with what I saved. Im going to double it this year. I want a house and I need a good deposit.

I got some stuff from boots too, I think I said that in an earlier post.

Taking dd to a ceramic place tomorrow, with my friend and her wee girl, get to paint some pottery,have some lunch and there is a softplay. Do all that after dropping the car off at the mechanic. ITs only going to cost me a few quid to get fixed

Best get to work

Love the look of the dairy, sorry you have a sperm donor that is like that.... thats it, you feel so petty having to write contact etc down, (he's had none) hoping he'll get fed up and go and play happy families elsewhere!!

Love the sound of the ceramic place,and you all get a day out as they say, 2 yrs ago when we were in Blackpool, we met up with a lady from another thread and her grandson, they took us to a place called Farmer Parrs, it was farm, but with everything, really interactive and hands on, Miss Hoodie and my friends gs decided to decorate a dog, DD did hers all posh and lady like, the lad he's 2 yrs younger than Miss Hoodie (he would of been 4) he decided on abstract art approach. every colour was on there, it was a wonder it dried, brilliant day xx
