    I didn't use any cardboard just made them up into a big circle with elastic bands joined together once it was all wrapped in cellophane it kept it together anyway. I got dowelling out of b & q, have bought it there before to use in roman blinds too - think its a pound or two for about two metres so still got plenty in the cupboard.

    I think it is a very prudent thought (dfw bit out of the way) she will love it. I got dd2 a pink mp3 player looks like an I pod, but has a lot more memory. she loves it, i got a bargain and everyone happy.

    Hi guys

    News in on the mum front and I'm afraid its not good. They are pretty sure that the cancer is back and in her liver.

    They are going to do a CT scan tomorrow to confim.

    I have spoken to the Dr who has said that they cannot cure it if its confirmed but can take steps to slow its *progress*

    I really dont know what else to say.............

    Oh no Tig, I'm really sorry. :(

    I'm sitting here looking at the reply box and I just don't know what to say. If you need someone to talk to, I will be online tonight. I really hope the news isn't as bad as expected tomorrow.

    Lots of love sweetie xxx
