    sorry to hear you are still suffering Chrissy, can you see if the dr will allow a repeat presp as youve had it before - be quicker than trying to get an appt to see him/her

    ive just been reading about the snow, im such a kid and love snow but with all the horrible weather the country has been having i think its just time for normal spring weather now.

    sorted out eldest DDs easter pressie yesterday went to a local factory shop and saw now instead of just clothes they sell household stuff, rang her because they had a safe shed been on about bt told her i wasnt carrying that home! anyway mentioned that they had duvets and she needed a new one but shes not a choccy fan so i said wed get her and her fella the duvet for easter instead of an egg.
    picked up the most adorable dress for my niece whos 1 next month. its cerise satin underneath with cream embroidered lace over the top full skirt and little sleevless bodice, crystal buttons and a little cerise belt, looks like a bridesmaids dress label says £24 factory shop was £5 bargain! they have them in sizes 1 - 8 years so would make perfect bridemaids dresses for little flower girls.

    i hope everyone is well
    hugs and get well/keep your chin up wishes and vibes to all who need them

    hope the mias (missing in actions) and awols are just too busy and having fun to post.

    Our Dr's are really good i rang at 8-30 and got an app for 10 am got lots of meds to hopefully sort it out.
    While i was there i asked about a lump on my finger it turns out its a cyst so they booked me in for a procedure tomorrow afternoon to sort it.
    Im looking forward to seeing the snow if it comes.

  • Not sure about snow but we just had a hail shower that lasted 20 mins lol only read this page and not had chance to read back yet so hope everyone is ok.

    No news about my grandma but about to go spend the afternoon with my mum so no doubt i'll hear more then. Just finished making Libbie a minnie mouse hat and already got 2 more orders for it. who'd have thought novelty hats would be so popular.. Got two more designs to make up from the patterns and 2 toys to knit. Needles are going to be hot ;) i'm itching to start on the xmas ideas i have already though lol keep having to tell myself a few more months yet!

    Hi all,

    MIA, as work has been really busy, but I have been reading, must confess not a lot goes in and stays in at the moment. So, hugs to everyone and extra big hugs to those going through difficult times.

    I haven't much to report. Life has been very quiet and uneventful since gwtting back from my holidays - and I like it that way :)

    Have started trying quilling this weekend, made a card for a friend and started one for mother's day for my mum.

    That's as exciting as life has been ;)

    Sometimes that's as exciting as you want it to be too ;) Nothing wrong with a bit of quiet time to recharge the old batteries and just pootle about. I remember doing some quilling when I was in the Brownies and it could look quite effective when you built up the pictures :)
