JJ - Happy Birthday! :j(better late than never )

freespirit66 - bless her I'm definitely feeling that way today! Well done! I don't know if you've worked it out but 5 extra steps a day for 6 weeks means you've added 210! ! That's fab!

newthrift - I have the same luck with the 2 weddings this year, completely different groups... I kind of don't know anyone at all at the one! eek! So 1 dress for those hopefully! Or at least 1 lot of accessories, I'm kind of hoping as they are 3 months apart that if I keep this gym going business up , I will need 2...though I did get home and have pizza last night so maybe not haha!

I've been talking about photographers recently my one friend has booked one that I thought her engagement photos of them were shocking, well not shocking, just anyone could have taken them. I could see in the 1 picture she had my friend holding a rose and what she had wanted was the rose in focus and my friend blurry behind, but she missed my friend, and the rose, and got the stem in focus... Shes someone with a fancy camera who has decided to try her hand at making money from it. I hope shes practiced for their wedding is all I can say
My mum and dad booked someone who was supposed to be fab! Phone call a week before to say he'd double booked.... but it's ok he has a photographer friend who will do it. So the friend it turns out took photos in a morgue haha! They were good photos but a bit creepy to know their wedding photos were taken by someone more used to dead people lol.
Their hotel was double booked too actually.... They didn't have much luck really lol.

happy belated bday junior j.

be behind on here... wishes to those who need them and chocolate to all.

I've been spending far too much time on photoshop lately lol given myself a migraine but so need to finish my latest design because i have another 5 design ideas to complete on top lol.

I found the perfect lil xmas boxes for my glass baubles the other day. I ordered 36 which should be plenty.. dunno what i'll do if those run out lol.

No more xmas planning atm, i need to get dd2 to make a decision on her prom dress. i want to get it ordered and out the way lol. i'm envious of those who have sorted main xmas pressies out already. That is usually me but this year i have no clue what to get them. DD1 really could do with a new pc but she's 19 this year and i'm unsure if shes going to do her final year at college or not. If she does then i might stretch to a new one. The others i have no clue! Dd4 still mentions having the barbie dream house (you know mummy the BIG one) she has 3 dolls houses already, there is no room for the big one unless we pack one of the others away lol Its really expensive for how its made though. I have pondered getting the big wooden dolls houses but she certainly seems to know which one she likes. ahhhh lol

Good morning, oops, Murie and JJ sorry l missed your birthdays, hope they were gooduns tho.
Well, the result of the first biopsy on DSIL is back and it is cancer, DD is in bits, raised a bit of a smile when he said he was sorry he had upset her!
DGS has not been told yet, they want to protect him, l suppose, but he will have to know soon enough.
my shingles have dried up and are going, but the pain is still as bad as ever, hope it goes soon.
I am still on track with decluttering an item a day, in fact l threw out a load of tat yesterday, so am in credit.The new skill may be photography, as it has always appealed to me but my 'snaps' are rubbish.

oh mrsinvisible what nasty news - I'm so sorry. I hope that at least if they now know what they are dealing with they can go forward with a plan of action.
hope your pain in short lived too. why do these things always happen at the same time?

sorry to people whose birthday i miss. I'm just about getting the hang of keeping up on the thread that I'm afraid the birthdays kind of pass me by.

Nothing Christmassy really happening at all this end. Although we watched an episode of Mike and Molly yesterday that was a Christmas one and my son was transfixed. When it ended he turned to us both and said " that was good and funny" then started singing jingle bells. He's only 3 bless him so I think we have another wee Christmas nut on our hands. takes after mummy and daddy definitely.

The playgroup bear had been to stay with us last week and we had to go on adventures - Have to say kind of glad he's away back "home" again. quite tiring to have to take quite a large bear everywhere and remember to take the camera too especially when you have the duracell bunny as a son as it is. :rotfl:

newthrift - looks like you have the wedding totally under control. I'm glad you seem to be ahead of the game before the big day. can't wait to hear more as it gets closer.

msgigglewick

this is what has given me my migraine lol drawing all those squares last night... tis done now though! think i'll start the other ones tomorrow lol


oops murie i didn't notice it was your bday too.. happy belated wishes.. go have a drink cause i just remembered sorry to hear that msinvisible.. the big C is so nasty.

kiwi13 you just reminded me we watched the christmas episode of grimm the other night lol.

mrs-moneypenny

Mrsinvisible so sorry to read the news about your DSIL, Hugs and support to you all. I hope that now you know what you are dealing with proper treatment is commenced

mrsGigglewick, what a lovely picture you are very talented.

Hope all are well as can be

Sewing bee tonight, but first got to get DS2s parents evening out of the way!!!

Peppapig

Oh Mrs I, so sorry to hear that the news wasn't what we were all hoping for you but I think Kiwi is right, if they know what they're dealing with they can find a way to move forward. Thinking of you all and sending you hugs to help keep you strong to support DD and her family through this.

Love it - Duracell bunny sums up my DGS perfectly, must send a copy of this to DD :rotfl:

Happy belated birthday Murie, sorry it's late but hope you had a good one.

Can't think about Christmas at the moment - having big problem deciding on birthday pressie for honorary DGD so that's taking up all the 'gift' energy for now lol.

I sold my bike last year as it was too big for me (I'm only 5 foot nothing) and with my frozen shoulder I couldn't ride it anyway. Now my shoulder is better and I'm keen to get out on the bike as soon as the weather gets better. Only problem is I've set my heart on the Victoria Pendleton Blossomby - it's a 'junior' bike but works for petite adults and is in the old fashioned road bike style. Unfortunately it's only available new in Halfords and is just under £200 so I'm scouring ebay for one. There have been two so far, one in Hampshire and one in Northumberland - I'm on the Beds/Bucks border near Milton Keynes so petrol to collect either would be so expensive it would be cheaper to buy a new one lol. Wish me luck.......

mrs-moneypenny

Good luck with the bike search peppa
