I have that trouble when I use mine. It always crashes just when you're doing something interesting.

Don't get carried away internet shopping (like I did on holiday in a caravan in Wales in the summer) LOL. I got home and couldn't get through the door for all of the parcels.

Hi everyone I have been a lurker in the past but would like to get more involved this year if you will have me? I have ordered some things from vistaprint recently - thru quidco - but how do youus the money you save in quidco? do you use the money straight from the quidco account or do you have to have it credited to your bank account? thanks Shelley

Clare - once you've booked one holiday with the Sun, usually you get a priority code, so you can book online, instead of saving the tokens. If you don't get one through next time, there is a list you can put your name on, asking for a code.

Thanks elysia - apparantly we DID have one, but because we're not planning on going this year, hubby just threw it away without telling me!! lol Fingers crossed we'll get one again next year even though we don't go away with them this time!

mary - Does your OH not fancy moving? Is he worried about losing independance? Might it be worth you both (not yet, but at SOME point if both your healths arn't getting better) visiting a potential place, AND sitting down together and writing both the benefits of moving there and of staying put but making changes to your home.... Must be a huge decision regardless! Hugs! Your pain killers not easing your walking at all yet? Self medicate if I were you. Get the Baileys out... lol You'll have some interesting 'makes' after plenty of Baileys!! lol

esmer - oh I'm SO excited about my family diary coming! I'm very jealous!! How long did it take to come?? I wasn't going to buy one, then made the mistake of looking through the grabbit boards and not only ended up buying one, but also bought a Fisher Price Zoo train for DD and some end of season chocolate from Hotel Chocolate!! I can't afford any of it! lol Naughty grabbit boards....

mum2one - You're not off to Tunisia again this year are you?? Dominican Republic isn't it?? I suddenly thought of you when I heard on the news about the Tunisian government falling!! Oh I feel for them - I love Tunisia, such lovely people. And their biggest income is tourism. Bless them.
Court - TRY not to get stressed. You can't do anything about it right now, so sit back, relax and deal with each thing when it comes!

susan - have you checked down the back of the sofa for your mojo?? lol

I'm having a month off. Made so much (jewellery, cakes, envelopes, table favours, Xmas cards...) in december I've lost any inclination to make anything this month. So I've purposely given myself the month off and enjoying sitting watching TV while not doing anything in the evenings. Hopefully in Feb I'll feel up to making things again!

mummyslittleboy - OMG, hope you're feeling better!!! Good to have you back online though!! See if they'll sway the oxygen for gas and air! hehe Not that I enjoyed it TOO much when having DD or anything.... lol

Hello to anyone new, and hugs to everyone who needs them!

Btw, whoever posted the link to a blog with a pattern for chunky fingerless gloves, THANK YOU. I sent the link to my mum and she made me some over the weekend! Picked them up this morning when dropping off DD and I'm typing while wearing them now! They're fab!

Have a good day all!

Posted this on money making thread and realised really should have been on here lol......A little while ago there was a deal on KGB where you paid £8 for a £25 voucher on Secret sales. Anyway I bought 2 vouchers. There were probs in getting the codes for the vouchers so in the end I told them if it was not sorted within 2 days that I would have a refund. Got said refund......checking emails and by golly there is an email from them apologising for not sending the voucher codes and that there had been a mix up!!!! So got a refund of £16 and had originally went through TCB and got £7 odd there so £50 spend on secret sales and ££23 for the pleasure!!! lololol

I cant believe i`m in such a bad mood today, i rarely am. Nothings bugging me, i feel fine and have been to watercolour class and have not stopped moaning, so unlike me....

cdsmiler - my mojo is definatly not down the back of the sofa, thats where i keep my knitting, i`m still learning...made me laugh though

hi sheyo, welcome

Hello all :j

elysia - me running ?? Chance would be a fine thing...............lol

mummyslittleboy - get well soon..........hugs
(((((:o))))

susan - don't worry.........we all get days like that (I do at the minute more than I used to for obvious reasons ) I often got the odd ''cloud'' over my head for no reason.

Well, I've applied for forms to be sent for grant and asked for Occupational Therapy assessment for the little things like rails etc. Not sure how long it'll take though. They seem to want me to go to a clinic -well I can't go anywhere at the minute and it really needs someone to follow me round the house and see what I can and cannot do and where so they're aranging that.
Lady from age concern can't come till Feb 7th to help me complete dla forms and thats the date they have to be returned by:eek: So, got to have a re-think and see who else might be able to help. We don't have a CAB locally. If it comes to it I'll have to ask the DLA people for help with them.

At last I got my hair washed.......much needed and could never have done it myself. My friend came up and gave me a wash and trim...........feels so much better plus the company did me good.
Had another rough night so needed someone to brighten my day:)

I know that feeling, managed to do mine this morning whilst still on crutches and it is not easy, glad your friend brightened your day.

Mummyslittleboy - so sorry to hear you are in hospital, hope you are home soon.

Evening everyone I have been at it with the wallpapering most of the day, only a few sheets to do tomorrow, sorted out my craft stuff as well but not the bits for Ebaying yet, think my OH must have put that box in the loft.

My sewing machine came back today, they have fitted a new part so hopefully it should work ok now, wont be trying it out until I have finished off the decorating and I can get my room all sorted out. Then I can carry on with sewing my sister's quilt. I bought the wadding the other day so just need to finish off the top piece.
