    Well I've been crafting. (PLEASE don't quote me - I will be removing this picture to stop eyes from stumbling on here).
    These are a gift to my mum handmade by me. So pleased with them considering they are the first pieces of jewellery I've ever made. Could have bought similar online for around £20. The materials for these cost £10. They aren't perfect - the silver I used to wrap around was too thick to go through the Prehnite beads so I had to use other wire I had kicking about the place. But I'm really really pleased with them and I'm sure my mum will love them.

  • Me again, forgot to mention my dissapointing morning, popped to hame bargains in lunch break to get rudolf scene it, they had none, i asked the assistant who then asked someone else who then asked a computor, and apparently computor said no, they wont be getting any in! gutted! :-(

    I mentioned in my earlier post that the HB I went to today said this as well :( It's utterly, utterly poop isn't it :(:(:(

    mrsdrink- Those are lovely!
    Having a coke with you
    is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irun, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne
    or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona

  • oooh how exciting good luck!!!


    MASSIVE THANK YOU

    so sorry i've not managed to get online sooner than now but GUESS WHAT!!

    Baby (Levan) and I are doing great! There is no pre eclampsia and for the 3rd and final time I'm not even bordering on Gestational Diabetes!! I also don't have pregnancy hypertension or anything else!
    It was all a load of worry for nothing!

    My SPD is still bad but I can deal with that.

    I am so relieved and so happy but would very much like the medical professionals to leave me to enjoy the last few weeks of my pregnancy now.

    I will have a couple of growth scans but although measuring 2 weeks ahead that has been consistent all the way through so where they originally kept telling me i'd probably be induced that may also not even happen now!

    I had been so stressed and so worried and now I can relax and get back to focussing on Christmas as a family with my little boy and hubby :)

    Thank you again for all your lovely comments :)

    Oh I'm so please to hear your news :T hope you enjoy your stress free weeks before baby is born :)
