Well i`ve been making some cards, OH birthday in feb , was a bit stalled but when the wine buffs cd came through the door, i`ve done one of those. Got it because I had a £10 coupon on on postage back from another order so it was very money neutral

Thinking have you had your wine trip yet?

hi tootoo, - your OH will not think you lost the plot when xmas comes and your all prepared, we have achallenge on the 24th of the month and its upto you how much you do as mum2one will come along and tell you soon I`m sure, beware her DD though as some of the challenges wow (only joking miss hoodie, ((((hugs))))


mum2one - make sure you sort the bullying out asap, or i`ll come over and sort it, how i hate bullis, DS whos now 6ft4 was bullied for three years, police solicitors the lot, it was hard work, but what a great boy he`s turned out to be - she didn't seem to bad 2day, think because she stood up and answered her back did the trick - go into school next week for a morning (help) - as a goveneror we'be been allocated a class and teacher to work with the idea being we spend a day a term in the class and go out on school trips with them. Luckly i'm sharing the class with another goveneror, we both said we'd go in fortnightly for a morning and show our face....... and any trips etc, she said if I can't she'll go. Keep her to that. I've got the last yr of the primary side (KS1). seems funny when I went and they called me miss. looked around as if to say who are you talking too!!

Bit of good news - he applied to 5 universitys and he has offers from all of them, has to make the grades of course but he hasnt even had an interview, the principle did his reference , she does 3 kids a year that they think can get into any uni and he was one of the three she did. So best start saving my pennies...

That is the most brilliant news about your son, - so I guess its cooking lessons, how to wash socks, and how to be mse as mums purse soon be empty!! xx

Sugarspun - That happened to me last week (did you see my post?) I just replied to the email with a note to say it wouldn't work and within 5 hours, they sent me a new one.

I have a bit of the cranks, this is my third redeem and the second one where there was a problem. Hmph

Free P&P at Halfcost till the end of Jan but I don't know if there's a minimum spend and I'm not looking at the site to find out. Operation: Declutter is in full operation, but I just put 90 books up for sale locally and our shelves are still overflowing. EEP!

Lisi - so sorry to hear your news xx

Elysia - Daughter's exam went fine thanks so she thinks, she had glowing reports from her teachers in the week at parents evening.

Esmer - I just had a thought about TCB and think it might not be tracking because you are only allowed purchase a month and I have done three:undecided

Still didnt get round to doing any sewing, the day seems to go so fast when OH is home, I find I much more time to get on with things when he is at work.

Lisi - so sorry to hear your news , thoughts are with you x

wammy - for cupcakes i use a 72 nozzle, was advised use the biggest one you can and ice from outside in, it works

mum2one - those are fab barains and regard the wine trip, waiting for warmer weather. As regards sons uni, he can pay £20 extra and have all his meals , 3 meals a day. He said be cheaper to cook....he cant cook mind you. What everyone think.???

Hello all :j

toothfairy -sending hugs (((((((((:o)))))))))0 and thinking of you xx

Had bad night last night......so much pain in the top of my leg........kept OH awake half the night as well. We both must have dozed off in the end......all of a sudden it was 11am !!
Still, despite that I got my water colours out today and had a bit of a practise at what to paint on foster daughters kitchen sign...........very relaxing it was.
Walked about a bit........very slowly and painfully but have to keep doing it don't I. Onwards and upwards as they say...........:)
