It's just gorgeous outside. Something about the sun that makes everyone you see in the street stop and chat :lol: Just been walking Eddie and got into a long conversation with a chap that retired 10 years ago ... heard all about his old job, his new gardening hobby and how his wife nags him about it :lol: And all I said to start this was "morning" :lol: :lol

[J0anne2403]

[lizzyann]

Hi there,just got back,had a lovely time chatting with Benita,she was with her friend,we sat outside,but the sun was on the opposite side,:lol::lol:typical,have made arrangements to go see her next week.

Sandra I love it when things like that happen,you just get carried away and start telling everyone your life story,it makes you feel better chatting away in the sunshine.:lol:

Well have to fill some forms in for dd,she is trying to get me another job,catch you later.

[J0anne2403]

Well I'm back, dh was plugging in the dyson and it came loose, so he kicked the plug back and whoosh the socket smashed and everything went! That'll teach him, NOT:nono::nono:

[Nacks]

Hi all

thanks for the thread. It was nice this morning then the sky went black and it threw it down for an hour - now it lovely and sunny ! April showers ?

[J0anne2403]

Ello Trish, how ya doing, haven't seen you for a few days, how you coping with the kids or ave yours gone back?

[J0anne2403]

Morning All,

Not much cooking hee today, maybe I will get some scrapping done for the cc/challenges and weekly challenge, well thats been my intention for days now and hasn't happened but I can try!

Whats everyone else doing?

Sandra you sorted your MK yet?

[lizzyann]

Morning all,
Lovely and sunny again,going to see mum,I haven't been for 7 weeks,because of flu,not looking forward to it,the longer you leave it,the worse it seems,also trying to get my CJ done,has to be posted on Friday.:lol::lol:

[Gilly_mc]

Hi all

Back from hols last night and just went to bed as I was exhausted. Long day travelling and too many late nights. Had a great time although the weather could have been better (wearing a fleece most days)!!!!

Anyway, need to unpack and tidy around. House is not too bad seeing as though a 19yr old has been home alone for 1 week plus had a few freinds staying over on odd night.

I'm still swaying nicely and feel like i'm still on the boat!!!

Will pop back later
Hugs to all

[J0anne2403]

Welcome back Gill, glad you had a great time, its cc fever on here again lol

[lizzyann]

Just went to see mum,but she was asleep bless,didn't wake her.

Well still no sign on my money,they have got to send me a cheque,so another 3 days for it to clear,when it eventually arrives.:angry::angry:

Welcome back Gill.

Jo have you started your MK yet?:lol::lol:

[J0anne2403]

My MK stinks as you know lol, yep I started it but have reached plan L now and its just not going any further, stuck :huh:

[Gottacraft]

hi all ... sorry not been on here this morning, got carried away with my cleaning. Thought it best I just get on with it in one go ... and not then have to keep remembering I forgot something :lol:

Lovely to have you back Gill :) Want to hear all about your hols once you've caught up.

No Jo, I haven't done anything with the MK ... but then to be honest I've just not had the time to do any scrappin. Still, I'm getting there, just some more paper work to sort out today, then hopefully actually get down to crafting :lol: :lol: Still, haven't a clue what to do though - mind you I'm not that fussed about entering it into anything - just wanted something to make me think differently :) Jo, that made me laugh ... "plan L" :lol: :lol:

Lizzy - how is you mum though? must be the most difficult thing in the world for you. Still, good that you got yourself out and about and I know see coffee mornings in your future :lol: :lol:

Also, just to let you all know I got a pm from Suzanne .... just saying that she is officially saying goodbye to us :( She'll no longer be a tag-a-long.

[J0anne2403]

Awww thats sad, spose moving n all it was bound to happen but a little post would have been nice, a chance to say bye n all.

Spose we ought to get recruiting again, how many is it that we need? I might get a complex, think I am scaring people away lol :lol::lol:

Everything that can go oopsy daisy with this MK has, unbelievable truely, I have made three things that incorparate into one thingy but thats it, haven't embellished them, no piccies etc, every idea falls by the wayside, pigging thing lmao :blink::blink:

Ironically, I have had loads of thoughts on themes fo other teams, comedy aspect, drama, smoochy but MUSICAL nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :o

[Gottacraft]

Well sling some on those ideas about Drama Queens my way :lol:

[lizzyann]

Hi everyone,

My legs and back ache today,now listen you young ladies,start saving for your retirement now,you might say it is a bit early to be thinking of those things now,but by god I wish I had done tha:rolleyes::rolleyes:t,all I ever seem to do is work,can't claim anything,and Pension is just not enough,and I can't be doing with all this.:mellow:

Jo I could only find one funny photo to scrap,so just did a s/lo,last year people made games and all sorts,but I am not that clever,as I get older my imagination is deminishing.:lol::lol::lol:

Sandra my you have been busy.

[J0anne2403]

Morning All.

I got a stuffy nose, sore throat and twinging plug hole :( Darn dd3 has given me her lergy, dirty moo!

I am going to sit n snuffle all day feeling sorry for myself like men do, I'll call it man flu! :wacko:

[Nacks]

Hi All

You can call it man flu if you want, but you have to moan loads :lol: and ask people to fetch things for you all day and sigh a LOT and ask people do I feel hot ? Relax and put your feet up jo, plenty to drink and lots of paracetamol.

Welcome back Gill x

Jo ive been at work over the holidays so DD been watching the boys for me !

Got to go to work now :wacko: never mind its subway for lunch today, my treat of the week italian BMT :P

[J0anne2403]

Very nice, have a good day Trish

Don't worry, I can moan as much as men :lol::lol::lol:

[lizzyann]

Morning all,

Well it was lovely and sunny,but keeps going dark and cold,hope we are not getting any of that snow that some parts of the country have.:nono:

I am hoping to get my pay cheque today:rolleyes:,so will be going into town to put it straight in the bank,that's if it turns up,going to see mum later.

Will be starting my Rainbow Alphabet's,they don't have to be out till May,but sometimes I have trouble cutting small alphas on my Cricut,so will have to practise.:lol:

[J0anne2403]

What's Rainbow alphabets? CJ or something?

[lizzyann]

Hi Jo,Not CJ,we make letters of the Alphabet,mine have to be in red,either card,papers,some letters we do more than one,then we swap.

[lizzyann]

Well did not get the cheque,so will have to borrow from dd.

I will be phoning tomorrow to make sure they have the correct Bank details,as we get paid every two weeks,and next week is pay day,and I can't afford to have two lots go missing.

Proper got the hump again.

[J0anne2403]

Aww lizzie that really isn't good enough, you know they can do an instant bank transfer, it will cost the company but if its their fault they pay right, disgusting really.

Oh I see, I am in the goodie bag swap for this cc, never done a swap before so a bit nervous and excited about getting mine delivered lol

Might look more into these swap thingies if all goes well :wacko:

[lizzyann]

Jo I agree,I will have a go at some more,I quite like doing them.

[J0anne2403]

Sitting here all snuffly still, I am sobbing, a lady on my cc chat thread has to take her dog back to the vets tonight, to be put to sleep, guess I am not yet over my Molly although its just over a year now. Right off to cuddle Indi n Milo, daft bat aren't I!

[Nacks]

Afternoon

You feeling any better JO ?

Well its throwing it down with rain here !

I know last year I did a maze swap but not sure where to look for our swaps, will probs be too late !

Is the CC this weekend ?

[Nacks]

Oh no its just me being lame ! I found the swaps and I am too late. and its next weekend for the CC

[J0anne2403]

Aww bless Trish, shame you missed out, maybe next time

Still feel yuk, have plonked my butt on the sofa, missing crop tonight not up to it

[Gottacraft]

AAwww you feel good and sorry for yourself Jo. When you're not well, you need to just sit down and relax. Want me to put the kettle on for you?

Lizzy, want me to come and kick someone's butt for you :lol: I feel for you, I really do.

:lol: oh Trish, I'm so glad its not just me that doesn't see these things :lol:

Well I well and truely did a stupid thing today :lol: I locked myself out :lol: :lol: What a stupid woman I am. I was all ready to go and walk Eddie so good think I had my coat on. And it went to put some papers in the recycling box .. anyway, I picked up the wrong keys :lol: I had the keys for the post box instead of my car and house keys ... anyway, I just pulled the door shut :lol: :lol: Lets just say its a good thing my mum and dad only live a short walk away :lol:

Other than that, I've been busy baking today - tomorrow, my mum & dads friends are visiting them. And I've known them forever ... you know the ones you still call Aunty and Uncle :lol: Well, I'm really looking forward to seeing them, so I've baked some cakes to take over with me tomorrow.

[lizzyann]

Hi everyone,felt tired tonoght,by legs and back ached,so had a little lie down,and fell asleep.

Jo hope you are feeling a bit better now.

Sandra :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: I know it well,I used to always lock myself out,one time it was a sunday,I had to go to work early,whren I got back I realised I had locked myself out and had to knock on dd's door,well she was not amused.:lol::lol::lol:

Off for a nice bath and an early night,catch you all tomorrow.

[Gottacraft]

Lizzy, I'll admit I have locked myself out many a time :lol: one time I broke in, by putting my umberella hook though the letter box and hooking the door latch open .... after that, Simon filled in our letter box and now we have a letter box.

[J0anne2403]

Uhoh your cat burgler

Yes plenty hot lemon n keep the cakies coming please :P

[Gertie]

:lol::lol: I'm the opposite I leave the door ajar and then go out leaving it for any Tom,Dick or Harry to come in and help themselves to the stuff :lol::wacko:

Oh Lizzy,hope you get things sorted out quickly,nothing I hate more than being skint :(

Well just to let you know that I had my meeting and told them exactly how I feel about working there, asked for a meeting where anyone of us can say whatever they're feeling,maybe resolve things, if not I'm off and they know that.

Just found the thread for Shimelles '25th' class. Is anyone doing it? Unfortunately I missed the kits but just made myself a 10 x 5.5 inch album all ready for Monday :D
Alfies birthday is this coming Wednesday hard to believe the little ****** is going to be 4, his favourite thing to say at the moment is ACTUALLY!!! actually this and actually that, got to do me a layout of that I think :)

[J0anne2403]

Love him, time just whooshes past as soon as you have kids, murder

Yep I grab one of the last four Shimelle kits, never done her stuff before so we will see, it hasn't arrived yet though but I did get an email tonight,have some instructions but I haven't d/l them yet. If you want info just ask Sarah

[Gertie]

Cheers Jo
Think the album thats in the kit is a calendar one, been googling I have :D
Mines just going to be a load of photos taken on the day and abit of journaling I think.
Know shes posting them on here so will have to check it out :)

[J0anne2403]

Morning,

Feel yuk, rough nite, Sarah have sent you email, probably already know that!

[Gilly_mc]

Hi Folks

Been catching up. mY head is in the shed as far as scrappng and nothing sorted for cc - I may miss this one. i am still swaying like a good un with vertigo from ship - last time it last a few days so waiting for it to subside.

Been spending masses of time sorting/researching Weight loss surgery. Found the chap I want at Leeds, one of the best in the country and will phone later to see if my referral has gone through. I was origonally referred to a chap at Sunderand(nearer I know) but the more i read the more uneasy I felt - he isn't a people person but more cool and cautious, Simon Dexter seems to have the experience and people skills I want. I know people don't understand but this really is my last option. How many folks do you know who lose loads of weight keep it off? IT is proven that this rarely happens and I hardly lose weight anyway. Am suffering with so much discomfort in hips knee, mobillity affected, not to mention self esteem/clothes/health etc etc

Speaking of that, put 4lbs on before hols after having chicken korma from inidan and a a lovey lunch out - not fair I know. 1 week cruise - put nothing on althought ate and drank loads, fish and chips since I returned, KFC wrap and a snicker bar in 32 days ( I knwo shouldn't have) and this morning 4lbs down - now work that one out?????

Its my friends birthday today and going out for tea, am setting to make her card and was going to use the tearbear kits she bought me for my birthday but I can't find it - typical.

Soo off to find insipration, doesn't help she is a cardmaker!!!!

[J0anne2403]

Morning Gill,

No need to justify to us what or why you've chosen a certain doc, we just hope that you are at peace with what you are doing and that all goes as smoothly as possible for you mate!

Right c'mon, cruise stories, piccies, what did you get up too?

[Gottacraft]

Morning all .... Gill, Jo's right, you don't need to explain anything to us ..we're just here for you :)

Sarah, glad the meeting went well ... have they agreed to having an open meeting for all staff? I think that's a great idea. And maybe they'll get to hear some home truths which will make some people actually sit up and listen to what's ACTUALLY :lol: going on :lol: Sorry, couldn't help that :lol: I can just imagine him saying that to you as well. :lol:

I'm going to have to search this class of Shimelle's. I'm dreadfull, I forget to look anywhere else around UKS ... I stick to the few places I chat and that's it. I did one of her classes at Creative Pastimes... and she's lovely. May just have a look and see what you need for the class.

Off to mum and dads soon. Mum phoned earlier ... I think Dad's got the tummy bug that I had last week, he's been sick during the night. Not sure if they're going to put their friends off .... if they are ... cake anyone:lol:

[Gertie]

Cheers for the email Jo but I didn't get it :(
I'll PM you my email addy :)

Heres the cover for my book.

Right must do some housework, the bathrooms calling,oh the joys :lol::lol:

Gill, hope everything works out for you :)

[Gottacraft]

Smart @rse :lol: :lol: That just looks fabulous :)

[Gertie]

Sandra, open meeting just for the night staff, my mate has gone to her little meeting with the boss as she was a witness to the argument but the letter she got basically said she was involved too :nono:

info for the class

[Gottacraft]

You're a star .... thanks :)

Surely this can go higher ... the big bosses can't know how blooming awful this woman is. :(

[J0anne2403]

I have had and read the email with the instructions on getting the Shimelle kit started, ready for the 25th's, happy to forward details if anyone wants them, pm me the email addys you want it sent to.

Have a lady called Jayne who posted this morning about joining a team and I jumped in and said we were recruiting, Jayne has pm'ed me and wants to join. Sorry to have jumped in but peeps get snapped up so quickly lol :lol:

I'll invite her along to meet everyone

[jayne b]

Hi - I'm Jayne! Joanne PM'd me to say that you needed a new team member & I would love to join you all if you have room for me. I am a mature (some would say very mature) student at university studying to be a social worker (it seemed like a good idea at the time!). I have been crafting in one way or another since I was about 3, but discovered scrapping about a year ago, registered on UKS, and then everything went wrong that could go wrong and I just didnt have the time to do anything! I have reasonably understanding OH and a DD who has recently moved to Aylesbury.
Anyway, I have resolved to spend some part of every week scrapping - at the moment I am really enjoying the CC and this has given me the motivation to find a team to join. :D

[Gertie]

Hi Jayne :D
I'm Sarah.
Welcome to the team,I'm sure you'll fit in well :D

[J0anne2403]

Glad you found us ok, always worried my links don't work! :unsure:

Im Jo as you know, one of the newest team members but that's been over a year as well!

Been crafting for 18mths now, I am retired GP Surgery Manager (ill health) hence my new found crafting hobby, now I'm totally addicted and a true STASHAHOLIC :o

I am married with four kids, 3 girls (2 old enough to have left home, elder has two girls of her own that I adore) my youngest dd is at college doing Forensic Science and my baby boy (15) is Autistic.

I also have two adorable (totally spoilt) Boxer dogs

Thats about it for me, you don't want the boing stuff in details lol :lol::lol:

pst watch out for Sandra she's a slave driver and dumps her ironing on anyone she can!

[jayne b]

Well Jo - your links work!
I am a STASHAHOLIC too - like stroking stuff but not really using it!
I am on placement at the moment (keep sneaking on the internet to keep up on here tho!) so sometimes wont be around much during the day so I hope that that wont matter.
Oh - and I DONT do ironing so I hope that that wont matter either :lol:

[jayne b]

Oh sorry forgot - Hi Sarah *waves* thanks for the welcome :D

[J0anne2403]

Postie has just been, my goodie bag swap arrived, love it!

Shimelles kit too

Like Christmas :D

[Gottacraft]

Hi Jayne ... I'm the slave driver ... but no bug*er does my ironing :lol::lol:

Welcome to the tag-a-long ... I'm sure the others will be along at some point to say hello and introduce themselves.

We're a friendly bunch, who love to chat :) we do collect points which I ask for at the start of each month - but don't worry if you've not managed to do anything ... life often gets in the way, this we all know so well :)

Hi Sandra - thanks :) I am excited about collecting points (how sad is that?) so I will do my best! The only thing that is likely to get in the way is uni stuff because of dreaded deadlines - the one thing that definitely wont get in the way is ironing :lol::lol:

You will tell me when I need to be doing something wont you :lol: until I get the hang of it anyway!!

[J0anne2403]

Seems we are getting back on form, new thread before the 20th of the month, good going :D

Sanda hows your 350 odd challenge going?

What happened with that photo course you all did?

Have lost some time somewhere, can't remember


Oh is you dad ok? wish him well

[Gertie]

we do collect points which I ask for at the start of each month - but don't worry if you've not managed to do anything

she'll just make you write 100 times...


'I must try harder' :P

Well seriously pee'd off now,mate has just rung to tell me how she got on..
not good,very angry and very tempted to write her a letter saying 'stick your job up your @rse' basically I've been made out to be a bully (which I'm not) and all the letters of complaint about her are basically a witch hunt!!!

Think I'll talk things over with Keith and see what we can come up,I just can't physically work there any longer :(

[Gottacraft]

Are you sure you don't want my ironing Jayne ... I offer fairy cakes in return :lol: :lol:

Jo ... I love the 352 photo challenge, although I put my own spin on it, so to speak ... instead I photo something each day that means something ... so for instance, Simon putting up my greenhouse shelving. So really it just becomes my diary. It's good though.

Dad seems better thanks - he said he started being sick at 3am this morning, but now he seems ok - he's had breakfast, which is a good sign :)

[Gottacraft]

Oh Sarah, that's crazy .... they need to speak to all the others that are having trouble. Does the person that your friend saw, really know what is going on .... doesn't seem it.

[J0anne2403]

Awww Sarah, sorry to hear that, but going to work somewhere you don't like and doing/putting up with stuff is the pits, nothing worse to get you down.

Shame you can't start something crafty up, you'd be eve so popular!

We are hear if you want to hollow<_<

[jayne b]

Are you sure you don't want my ironing Jayne ... I offer fairy cakes in return :lol: :lol:



Tempting as it sounds I had better decline - my fat club leader wouldnt understand :nono::nono::lol::lol:

[J0anne2403]

Off for a nap feel achy orrible still

cyas later

[Gottacraft]

but think about all the calories you'd be burning :lol: :lol:

Ok, don't think I'm gonna win this one :lol:

[jayne b]

but think about all the calories you'd be burning :lol: :lol:

Ok, don't think I'm gonna win this one :lol:


If there are calories to burn I'd rather spend them on chocolate (and wine!!) :lol:

[Gottacraft]

:lol: Hey, I'm with you there Jayne :lol: :lol:

We're really on a roll ... we've got another new team mate joining us called Dawn. I've said to her to pop on here when she can and given her the link ... now Jayne, don't scare her away :lol: :lol:

[lizzyann]

Hi everyone,

Thank God it's Friday,I really do not like the new contractors.:rolleyes:

Had to wait for DD to get me some money for me ,I phoned the office,and it seems that because my wages were paid by BACS they can't give me a cheque until it is returned to the office,I am soooo P----- Off.:angry:

Been to town to sort mum's money for the home out,as that is due,did not go to see her,why is it that when I am in a hurry I see everyone,but when I have time to stop and chat,don't see anyone?:lol:

Hi Jayne welcome to our team, my fellow comedy King,I am liz,I am divorced,have one daughter,who is on UKS,am retired,but have two cleaning jobs,and have been scrapping for 3 years.

Sarah im sorry how things have worked out workwise,if you do stay,things will never be the same,it is a shame all because of one person.

Jo how are you feeling now,I was going to do Shimelle's class,but as I live on my own,it is pointless.

Gill hope everything goes well for you,it is dishartening,I know from my experience,I have trouble with my knees,and I should really try to lose some weight,but because I have been depressed,have just kept eating,

I have just bought Paul McKenna's I can make you thin book and DVD:lol::lol::lol::lol:,yeh right,thought I would give it a try,(still in box).

Sandra hope dad's ok.

[lizzyann]

oooo cakes,I knew I forgot to get something this morning,mixture:lol::lol::lol:

[lizzyann]

Off for some lunch,then work again:(:(:(

[jayne b]

Hi Lizzieann :D

Thanks for the welcome - just been for lunch myself. I am going to have a go at Shimelle's class because it sounds intriguing :D

[Gottacraft]

I can see you all giving me the push I need to get my act in gear and do some organising ready for next weekend :lol:

[Gertie]

Jo, just to say that I got the email cheers chick :wub:
Mines going to look nothing hers though :lol:

Please send me some fairy cakes Sandra, may just shut this rabble (kids) up :wacko: they're squabbling over something silly.
If I hear Alfie says its his birthday tomorrow one more time I'm gonna scream!!!!

Had a quick chat with Keith and have decided that I'm going to work up to my next pay date which is 3 weekends and then write a letter to the boss telling her to poke her job :D I'm not working any notice after she has implied I'm a bully.

Right off to find a plaster for Alfie, hes touched something that he shouldn't have and now as cut his finger,its all drama in this house!!

Jayne I have 3 kids and live in a madhouse :lol:

[lizzyann]

Hi,

Well I just walked out of work,when the new people took over,they gave us all bigger area's to clean, my legs and back have been aching,some of our cleaners asked to change to their old areas,I asked and got told no,so I have left.:lol::lol::lol::lol:

[Gertie]

Lizzy, walked out as in never going back?

If so, you go girl :D:D

[jayne b]

Right off to find a plaster for Alfie, hes touched something that he shouldn't have and now as cut his finger,its all drama in this house!!

Jayne I have 3 kids and live in a madhouse :lol:

Hi Gertie :D

Hope Alfie has a good birthday :):love:

[lizzyann]

Yes Sarah never going back,it was getting me down,they want less staff and more work,I still have my morning job.

[J0anne2403]

Oh my god I go and have a nap and Lizzie hands in her notice, Sarah is leaving hers, Sandra is trying to bribe Jayne to do the ironing (nagging :rolleyes:) Alfie cuts his finger!!!

Ok wheres the cake! :D

Hello Dawn, where are you hiding hun, has that nasty Sandra coerced you into doing her ironing (if not she will try)!

Hello, everyone:) Thanks for allowing me to join your team. My name is Dawn and I have been a member of UKS for 4 years, but rarely post on the main boards. I have been scrapping since the summer of 2003 , although in the last few months, my job has been crazy busy and I have not had time or energy for anything other than eating chocolate and watching tv!!! But this will all hopefully change-started the dreaded diet last week and so to keep busy in the evenings, I need to scrap.Already made more layouts this week than I have done in the last four months:)
A little about me....I am married to Rob and have two children-Phoebe who is 9 and William who is 5. I teach Reception children in an Under Fives setting in an Infant school-love my job, but not too keen on all the politics that are at play at the moment-too much paperwork, not enough money for support staff, etc!!! Shouldn't moan-it's Friday evening and the week has just whizzed by!!!
Well, I think that is enough for now-as you can tell once I start yacking...
Really looking forward to getting to know you all...off to read back a little:)
Dawnx

[J0anne2403]

Im Jo,

Been crafting for 18mths now, I am retired GP Surgery Manager (ill health) hence my new found crafting hobby, now I'm totally addicted and a true STASHAHOLIC :unsure:

I am married with four kids, 3 girls (2 old enough to have left home, elder has two girls of her own that I adore) my youngest dd is at college doing Forensic Science and my baby boy (15) is Autistic.

I also have two adorable (totally spoilt) Boxer dogs

Thats about it for me, you don't want the boing stuff in details lol

pst watch out for Sandra she's a slave driver and dumps her ironing on anyone she can! :stop:

Okay I cheated and pasted from an older post :lol::lol:

[Gertie]

Jayne, Alfies birthday is next Wednesday :lol:

Hi Dawn, thought it was you but had to check your gallery out to be sure :wub:
You must have lots of patience teaching all those little people :wacko:

Well good for you Lizzy, hope you're not going to leave yourself short though :(

[lizzyann]

Hi Dawn I'm Liz am Divorced have one daughter,who lives in the same street as me but at the other end,Retired but have a morning cleaning job,( did have another job,but just walked out)have been scrapping for three years,been a member of UKS for two years.

[lizzyann]

I will be ok Sarah,my DD is looking out for a little job for me.

[jayne b]

Hi Dawn :D
I'm Jayne and I joined the team today as well!! I am a mature student at uni doing a Masters in Social Work. It seemed like a good idea at the time but had a devastating effect on my life cos I had no time to scrap :lol: Having got 5 assignments, 3 law exams and a dissertation plan out of the way since October, I decided that life cannot go on like that and signed up for the cybercrop! In the last 2 weeks I have done more crafting than I have in the last 6 months and loved every minute of it. I am currently on placement so wont be around much during the day unless I can sneak on there, but am really looking forward to being involved in the team (they all seem really nice so far!!! :))
I have 1 daughter who is 21 and moved to Aylesbury in December - we have the best relationship ever now - keep up to date with each others lives & unpick Dr Who, Lost and Heroes when they have been on tele!! I live with my OH and our cat Jaspa :love: I have been crafting forever in one form or another but discovered scrapbooking last year and havent done much of anything else since!
Oh dear - this is starting to look like one of my assignments!! :lol::lol: Just wanted to say hi really :lol:

[Evans1]

Hiya,Jayne,Liz,Sarah,Jo,Sandra and her ironing (now that is something that I love doing,honestly!!!) Seems like you have all had "exciting" days this week- a good day to join up, Jayne:)
Sarah-I love your blog-it is always guaranteed to make me chuckle and your children are so gorgeous!! Both Phoebe and Will have been home from school this week with a nasty flu/sick bug, but are raring to go now it is the weekend.
Off to cut into the gorgeous Sassafrass robots paper-if I am brave enough.
Dawnx

[jayne b]

Jayne, Alfies birthday is next Wednesday :lol:



ROFLOL:lol: I'll try and remember to wish him happy birthday then then!! :lol:

[J0anne2403]

Sandra you only let Dawn in cos she loves ironing (sooooo sneaky)

pssttt Dawn, can yi do mine too please? :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

[Gertie]

You love ironing???? are you mad woman :lol::lol:

I hate any sort of housework but needs must :wacko:
I seem to spend all my time lately unblocking the toilet with certain objects my youngest chucks down there.

Flippin' heck Jayne, how do you fit it all in??

[J0anne2403]

Sarah cos you are giving a class does that you can't be in a cc team this time round?

Age makes no odds, I am still unblocking loo's and my youngest is 15! :nono:

[Evans1]

Only if the deal is good-I'll iron all day, but you have to vacuum and mop my floors-I hate those jobs with a passion!!!! And I only dust before my MIL visits.
See on a Sunday afternoon, I escape upstairs with a DVD, chase the kids back downstairs to annoy their dad and iron merrily away...how sad is that?
Dawnx

[Gertie]

Jo I have registered for the CC, Drama Queen here (as if :lol:) and I can still take part,just haven't bothered with all the chat,moves to quick for me :wacko:

I'm ok with MIL, she doesn't care how untidy the house is when she comes to visit :wub:

[J0anne2403]

MIL gave up when she saw I hooked on crafting, beforehand everything had a place and was in it, its quite weird how I am now the total opposite, craft comes tops all the time :D

Well I am out numbered badly, 3 x drama queens, 2 comedians, one lovey dove and one little ole musical me! :lol::lol:

[Evans1]

I'm a drama queen too:)
Jo-I've just noticed your tally for April-is that 60 layouts already ?...I'm in awe!!!
Dawnx

[J0anne2403]

No more shopping, not online, just bought the modscraps kit and a few bits n pieces, got your papers, well almost, got the Cherry and another thats close to the other one, the stickers too, still no luck with the punchout stuff, spose I'll have to try punch it myself lol, gave up on the fp letters I'll use alternatives.

hope to be well enough to go to my local warehouse morrow n get alternatives for the other classes n thats it, after that I'll make do, just organising my piccies and I'm ready :D

Bed is comfy n I am drifting, so nite nite mateys

[jayne b]

Age makes no odds, I am still unblocking loo's and my youngest is 15! :nono:

I'm still unblocking loo's and mine has left home!! :nono:


Flippin' heck Jayne, how do you fit it all in??
Well chocolate and wine help a lot ^_^!! And I have given up housework :D

MIL gave up when she saw I hooked on crafting, beforehand everything had a place and was in it, its quite weird how I am now the total opposite, craft comes tops all the time :D



Sounds like me! OH had me down as obsessive up to this last Christmas because I liked everything to be so neat and tidy :blink: Then I had so much to do I didnt have to clean as well and now I really cant be bothered :) and now he has me down as a slob!! :o

[J0anne2403]

I'm a drama queen too:)
Jo-I've just noticed your tally for April-is that 60 layouts already ?...I'm in awe!!!
Dawnx

oh noooooooo thats 6 lo's 60 points, if your unsure of the points I'll see if I can find my link to the points system and give you it, makes more sense then. The most I did one month was about 32ish I think and that was a big project, but points during cc are normally high for the team too. We won the CC before last, the Madhatters one (the team points league thingy), at least I think we did... elp me out memories fading lol.

[J0anne2403]

I'm still unblocking loo's and mine has left home!! :nono:

Nah I must admit a little of my disabilities restricts my movement and mobility now so thats mainly the reason but I do sit n look at it sometimes and it makes me mad cos I did it when able and dh and the kids could do more now, unless I nag or struggle they ignore it even now, example...

dh brought the washing basket downstairs to the kitchen for me, I emptied it and had my loads ready to, managed to stumble back to the stairway with the empty basket but no way could I safely make it and the stairs with it. So I left it perched on the bottom step thinking the next up will take it, as you do... :nono:
Watch dd3 (17yr old) come out the loo, move the basket aside, go up two steps, reach down for the basket and place it back on the step :o:blink::(:unsure:

I state my case :lol::lol::lol:

[J0anne2403]

Really going now, headachy and snuffles, cyas morrow

[jayne b]

Really going now, headachy and snuffles, cyas morrow

Morning everyone :D
Unfortunately I have to go to a funeral this morning so wont be around until later :(
Jo - hope you are feeling better {{hug}} just in case :)

[J0anne2403]

Jayne -Thank you and I hope everything is peaceful and smooth today for you.


Came down to the sofa at 6am, feeling yuk still, was hoping to get to my craft warehouse today, because I missed Thursday evening and they don't open during the week its awkward.
Gonna stuff cotton-wool in my ears, dose up and try and go, if I feel bad its just a few mins in the car, dh will bring me back!

[J0anne2403]

DH has just rung from Tesco's, doing the shop on his tod cos I'm ILL (YUK) and low n behold, he has got to the checkout n LOST his card againnnnnnnnn, this is a regular thing, puts his pin in and LEAVES it behind. This is his 5th new card in less then a year, they are used to him now. The local shop gives it back, they keep it safe but the others have to send it off (well they all should but the locals now how daft he is):wacko:

[J0anne2403]

It was at the local shop thankfully, I don't need to order a new one!

[Gertie]

:lol::lol: Jo
Something I would do,thats why I use cash except for on line shopping,you can't forget your card with that :D

Sat here in my pjs,need to get sorted and go and do the dreaded food shop.Keiths out fixing a car,hes so busy at the moment,hopefully I won't need to find another job when I leave this one for a few months at least :)

[lizzyann]

Hi everyone,

Phoned DD,she has sorted some work for me,going roung different sites,covering for people on Holiday of off sick,which suits me fine.

Well been to take some rubbish to the dump,bought some little jars,for my ribbons,am trying to get organised,so I know where everything is,have sorted buttons into colours,done some washing,popping out to get Lottery,then doing this weeks challenge.

Jo hope you are feeling better.

[Gertie]

OMG!!!
You know that album I've made for Shimelles class? Well don't know how she got the link for my blog or even that I was doing it but shes only put a picture of it on her blog :D:D

[J0anne2403]

and what supprises you about that?

[J0anne2403]

Off for a little nap, still so achy :(

[jayne b]

Just popping in to say hi everyone *waves*
Its been a long day so might just have a quiet night doing the trading faces LO for the CC with a glass of wine!
Hope you feel a bit better after your nap Jo :D

[Gottacraft]

Hi all ..... hi Dawn welcome :) See the famous Sarah :lol: off later to have a look at Shimelle's website :) Hope you're feeling a bit better Jo. Are you going to make an appointment at the doctors?

Way to go Lizzy - good on your girl. Stand your ground.

Pass the wine Jayne :lol: :lol:

I've been at a crop today ... yup my 2nd one :lol: Really, enjoyed it, and met some lovely people - and now just waiting for our take-away to arrive :lol:

catch you all later
x

[Evans1]

Happy Saturday :)
I've been cropping too, Sandra-shattered now, but raring to scrap all night if I can stay awake!
Hope you are feeling a little better, Jo?
Congrats, Sarah-Shimelle has excellent scrapping taste!!!
Dawnx

[Gertie]

Cheers Dawn :wub:

How many layouts did you manage to finish at your crops Dawn and Sandra?

How you feeling Jo?

I keep looking at my ticker at the number of days until I go on my SILs retreat, I haven't got a thing sorted and might just have to resort to taking my laptop to do some digi scrappin' :lol:

Well off to put DD to bed and then slouch on the sofa ready to watch Pushing up Daisies

[Evans1]

A big fat zero!!!! It was the crop that I run monthly with my friend Jo (JoJo1 on here) so we do not even try to scrap ourselves in between all the running around we do:) We taught a layout each and chatted the day away.We had some new girls today and a full hall for the first time for a few months-we always go quiet over the Winter months and then pick up numbers through the Spring.
I am not a very productive social cropper-I never have the right bits with me-guaranteed-but I really love following a class taught by someone else. Cannot wait to take your class next week-white space defeats me every time:) I will be your biggest challenge!!!
Dawnx

[Gertie]

Same as me Dawn, I like going to crops but never manage to get anything done,spend far to much faffing and chatting and then theres 'you've never got the right thing' problem :lol:

Well I hope you like the class, I love white space and can't wait to see everyones take on it.

[J0anne2403]

Evening Everyone,

Yer long nap, if I still feel like this Monday I will see the doc, but I worked with em long enough to know they will say "VIRUS" as they do :blink:

I think it is too, just a weakling like me suffers longer :wacko:

M Gertie Sarah fellow teamie mate, I think it high time you acknowledge your artistic talents and realise that Shimelle grabbed your piccie cos its tastful, now you know so neener and when I say you could start you own arty stuff I eally think you could, you'd earn a living doing what you love... cor its like lecturing my kids:D:D

WHITE SPACE, I freak, have to fill it, so I bought double of of your list to fill the gaps :lol::lol::lol:

I am she who cannot decide what I need to take to my crops, I take EVERYTHING :)

So Sandra what did you take in the end?

Brilliant Lizzie, hopefully that will much kinder for you and a more friendly enviroment too :)

Psst wheres Susan? Hewwwo Gill, need the gos on the cruise:P

[Gertie]

:nono: Jo, you can't fill the gaps, well you have to leave it at least a week before you decide to do anything to it,hopefully you will like it and leave it the way it is


and thats an order:P:P

Did I say I got a replacement laptop? back to using my beloved Vista :wub:
So sat in the front room watching American Pie, I know its a tacky film but it makes me PSML :lol::lol:

[lizzyann]

Hi everyone,

I have made a Birthday Card for mum,it is her Birthday tomorrow,I have been trying Pergamano,and getting nowhere fast,trying to find some insparation for this weeks challenge:lol:

Jo how are you feeling now?

Sandra glad you had a good day,I have my all day crop next week,but won't be staying late,as want to get back and try the CC.

Dawn I am the same,there is always something I need,but forgot to pack.:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Jayne you are doing well with the Oscars.:lol::lol:

[J0anne2403]

:nono: Jo, you can't fill the gaps, well you have to leave it at least a week before you decide to do anything to it,hopefully you will like it and leave it the way it is


and thats an order:P:P

Did I say I got a replacement laptop? back to using my beloved Vista :wub:
So sat in the front room watching American Pie, I know its a tacky film but it makes me PSML :lol::lol:

[jayne b]

Morning everyone - OH has gone to footy & wont be back til 7pm so I am having a crafty day today :D

Jo - hope you are feeling better today :)

Sarah - took a peep at your blog and your calendar is cool B)

Sandra - no wine left soz :P but i will be cracking another bottle later on :wacko:

Anyone (!!) - Can we claim points for the LOs that we do for the CC? I did one for the sketch challenge & am unsure if I can count that??

Have a good day whatever you are up to :D

[Gertie]

Morning all
Not a good day for me,I have to go to the hell hole later :( 3 weekends and counting and then I'm free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jayne you can claim points for any layout that you do :D

Oooooooooh a lovely day crafting,have fun :wub:

[jayne b]

Morning all
Jayne you can claim points for any layout that you do :D

Oooooooooh a lovely day crafting,have fun :wub:

Oh goody - I take it that I just keep a tally of my points in my siggy?? Dont worry I intend to have fun - sorry you arent having such a good day though :(

[J0anne2403]

Morning,

Throat and ears seem better hoorayyyyyyyyy :rolleyes: nose is still snuffly but thats bearable :wacko:

You can claim points for the lo in the cc but when the other classes appear a points list is also posted for the pre-crop classes and the normal classes, then you click on what you've done and the points get added to you cc team account, I think we can then add them to our own teams account too but I'll have to check that.

Right, I have to do this weeks challenge today n other bits n pieces

[lizzyann]

Hi everyone,

Went to see mum today,dd came with me,she has not been for ages,because of work,it was sad,mum did not know it was her Birthday,she is 88,she sort of recognised us,there were tears in her eyes.

I'm most impressed with me, I got a whole layout done :lol: I know I talk to much to get enough done :lol: But I'm the same, I never remember to take just the thing I need, so I'm happier sitting at home scrapping ... not that I do that enough either :lol: :lol:

Lizzy, (((big hug))) must have been a difficult day for you today.

Jo, that's a lovely layout ... and plus now you've been given instructions by the FAMOUS Sarah :lol:

I've had a lovely day today - spent most of it in the garden - it's be gorgeous out there :) We put all the new shelving in the greenhouse, and its starting to fill out nicely.

OH was quite worried about me a couple of weeks ago because I wasnt doing any crafting due to so much uni stuff ....... now he is worried because all I am doing is crafting :lol::lol::lol:

Lizzie - I once forgot my purse in Tesco too - but didnt find out until I tried to pay with my clubcard which was in my pocket & which I thought was my Visa :blink:

[lizzyann]

Jayne I just did that,took clubcard out instead of Visa,I got my new club card this morning so put the old one in my pocket.

[lizzyann]

Still have not done that ironing,found something to wear in cupboard this morning.

I feel really tired today.

Jo how do you put the pictures on that puzzle? :lol::lol::lol: have been to have another look.:lol:

[Gottacraft]

Back from my coffee morning chat :lol: Thanks Jayne, I got your pm :)

Jayne, not possible is it ... too much crafting :lol: :lol: But I know what you mean, other things just get in the way, don't they :(

Lizzy, if you've not done your ironing yet ... any chance of adding mine into it :lol:

[J0anne2403]

Lizzie, If I recall I stuck them with art glitter glue, it was all that was with me at the time, When stuck I went round them with a knife, then I used my chuzzle spinny thingy to smooth the edgies, then inked them, then I stuck the chippy letters on only to see (afte it had stuck fast) a spelling booboo but hey, thats life!

[lizzyann]

What is a chuzzle spinny thingy? I want one :lol::lol::lol::lol:

[lizzyann]

Glad I am not the only one who does silly things:lol::lol::lol:

[lizzyann]

Sandra - agree that there can never ever ever be enough crafting time :lol: But yes uni stuff has to be done too - but thats all - nothing else!! :lol:

[Gottacraft]

I haven't done any real crafting for such a long time ... everything else takes over, but going to the crop on Saturday really got me back into it. And I was so looking forward to the next one in May, and then during my coffee morning, Simon phoned to say that we have been invited to Ascot by one of his clients ... nice, but couldn't they do that on the day when I didn't have anything planned :lol: :lol:

[Nacks]

Well tell me all about our new teamies :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]

Hi Trish - I'm Jayne - one of your new teamies :lol::lol:
I am fairly new to UKS - although I did register a couple of years ago but then things happened & I didnt have time to do any crafting :angry:
Anyway I am a mature student at uni doing a masters in social work and was getting so bogged down with that I decided to give this a go to give me a bit of respite :lol:
I have been doing the CC stuff and having a whale of a time so I looked for a team to join and was invited to join the Tag-a-longs :D
I have been crafting in 1 way or another forever, but discovered scrapbooking last year after doing some cardmaking. I like trying out different techniques etc and I dont have any posh tools like a chizzly-wizzly thing :lol::lol:
Oh - I get up very early and I dont do ironing :lol::lol:
(sorry this has turned into one of my uni assignments! :lol:)

[jayne b]

I am doing Shimelles kit, think Sarah and Sarah are too, I am up to date, pp's adorning the pages so I am set!

Hi Jo - I've found the instructions for Shimelle's class using my own stash - am I correct in thinking that all the pages are covered in pps except the journalling block part?:wacko:

[J0anne2403]

[Evans1]

Evening everyone-and hello to Trish:) Just been reading through the team challenge thread-phew, didn't realise it was all so complicated!!! Might just start with the weekly challenge layout, although I have promised a work mate I will make some mini albums for her son's recent wedding-I have been busy this weekend making the albums-just have to add the photos and quotes.
You are all so organised for the CC-I love these weekends but they usually creep up on me and catch me out!!
Dawnx

[jayne b]

Okay so you have more lolol


LOL :lol: Now you know what I get up to at 4am!! I also have a OH who thinks that I have completely lost the plot :lol::lol:

Evening Dawn, I must admit I was shocked when I first read through the team stuff too, I am still not sure and end up asking my teamies what it means most of the time. I try to do the weekly challenges, this is my 2nd house challenge but I am loving these cc's!
Take it at your own pace, you will enjoy it more then.

[J0anne2403]

Hey Sandra maybe we will have more teamies who will take on our own challenges now:P

[lizzyann]

Yes Jo don't rush it,I can't cope with too much:lol::lol::lol::lol:

[J0anne2403]

Morning Early Bird and other NORMAL teamies lol,

Well I did good, MK done, sketch done, did start the weekly challenge but I got too drained so I'll sort that today, going to swap my craft area around, little juggle, not comfy how it is then I can do whatever I want :D

Oh sort out the home server, it wasn't happy last night, ran a defrag and it switched itself off lolol (tantrum) :lol:

[jayne b]

Wow Jo - you were busy yesterday! I managed to do the front cover for my newbie cj & looked at the weekly challenge - will do that tonight hopefully :D
Oh and Shimelle's class thingy!!! Well - OH will be watching footy so wots a girl to do except scrap?? :lol::lol:

[lizzyann]

Morning all,

I have a Hospital Appointment today,they are going to test my nerve endings,feeling a bit nervous,as don't know what that involves.

I felt really tired this morning,but am ok now,I keep asking the doctors what's wrong,but don't get a proper answer,might join Diabetics UK as I know I am not eating properly.

Does any one know a recipe for Liver,must try to eat some as I might have anemia (can't remember how to spell that)

[J0anne2403]

http://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Food_and_recipes/Recipes/

Someone gave me this, might help

[Gottacraft]

Morning all .... and yes finally I've got on here and it's still the morning :lol:

Lizzy - ask the doctors for a blood test as well.

So Jo .... just checking you have what now .... 3 oscars??? Jayne ... how many do you have :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ok, ok, ok ... yes I have NONE :lol:

Dawn, thanks I got you pm :) Ask any questions you want? Sarah knows the answer to everything :lol:

Right, beautiful sunny day here today - I've just gone down to my greenhouse and opened the door - poor little things will get heat stoke if I don't :)

[Gertie]

Hi everyone

Will someone please take my son off my hands, hes on about eating his birthday cake now :wacko::lol::wacko:
Why oh why is it when you want to get something urgently, its out of stock everywhere :( Try explaining that to a 3 year old!!
Was winding him up this morning saying that his birthday was last week but we couldn't be bothered celebrating it, should of seen his face,not a happy bunny :lol:

At this very moment, Isla is going round the kitchen wearing pink sunglasses her crocs on her hands pretending to be a dog :wacko:

Flippin' heck Jayne, you get up early,only one 4 o'clock in my world and thats in the afternoon,well except when I'm working but won't have to worry about that for too much longer. I emailed CSCI this morning and told them my thoughts and concerns regarding this nurse,just waiting for a reply now,going to print that out and wave it under the boss's nose at the meeting ;)

Jo, you know alot about things, would you say that infringing someones human rights is an instant dismissal? I would of thought so. The manager had a quiet word with her :wacko:
We have some proper numptys working there,take this morning for instance,one young girl was found having a fit by the trained nurse,instead of ringing the emergency buzzer he just put a call out for a little help,thinking that he properly needed help changing her bedsheet I replied I would be there in a mo and it wasn't until the laundry lady shouted me telling me that this girl was having a fit that I ran like the clappers.She was in quite a bad way and he left her :angry: in the end after me and my friend shouted at him he phoned an ambulance and she was taken to the hospital But it took him half and hour to phone 999. Surely common sense kicks in,in my case it does but these night nurses seem to have non :angry: But then we get it in the neck for telling the trained nurses how to do their job!!

Sorry for the rant,had to get it off me chest,2 weekends and counting,just gonna leave quietly or so the boss thinks ;) I may not be able to contain myself at this meeting next week and tell her to poke her job plus some other stuff and that I'm going to the CAB regarding her implying I'm a bully.

Weather here is blumin gorgeous :D

Oh Sandra :P

[J0anne2403]

Oh Hun this sounds like an awful situation for you, it pains me too as I think this is more widespread then people actually think. I have been involved with many tribunals and also the setting up of good practice protocols for nursing staff but have always had a senior nurse to advise on the clinical side of matters.
Yet even a layman would have called for urgent help and dialled 999 long before half an hour had elapsed if they came across a fitting person, again even general first aid guides say that you should stay with a fitting person to help avoid them inflicting injury upon themselves whilst in that state.
Sarah is it a state home or private, when were they last inspected?
Are the staff as "trained" as they say they are, do staff go on regular refresher courses?
The long and the short of it is these people are their to receive a good service of personal care for which by all accounts they are not, the home is in breach of any contracts it has regarding the level of care/service it giving, my sticky point is, having not dealt with nursing home situations, to whom you next port of call and who that should be, perhaps you may be able to get some confidential advice as to what's being breached and what to do from either the Community Health Council details available from your Health Authority or your actual Health Authority because even if it is a private home they must be supervised in some way by the HA?

Sorry I can't be a better source of info but my base is mainly general practice and local health auth, but like I have been saying there's more than one way to skin a cat hun, the local press would be ever so interested, love stuff like this, that way the patients families would get wind too, opening a can of worms!

Now give that little guy a hug, bake him a nibble and don't tease him anymore you wicked mother! :lol::lol:

[lizzyann]

Hi everyone,

Well went to the Hospital,they put these electro things on me to test my nerve reaction,the doctor could not get the machine to do what he wanted.

I thought it was funny,the outcome was that my left arm is slightly out of sinc with the right one.

Did not really understand,and the Doctor did not help much,so have an appointment in July,to find out more.

[jayne b]

Hi everyone :D A quick post cos OH is changing the internet connection tonight - so if I disappear I will be back!! Sarah - sounds like a nightmare - I'm afraid that working in social services I have come across similar stuff to this .... and its awful to deal with :(. Is it the big birthday tomorrow?? (Thought I'd better check before I wished him happy birthday :lol:)
Lizzie - sorry your arms are out of sync :wub: doesnt sound very good for crafting
I am going now and I may be gone for some time :lol::lol: Hopefully not - things appear to be going well ;)

[lizzyann]

Jo thanks for that link,will check it out.

[J0anne2403]

Awww Lizzie get that sorted out sweetie, I'd see your GP in the meantime with any questions, its a worry having to wait that long bless

Hope that internet is up and running fast :unsure:

[J0anne2403]

Funny turn earlier, thought I was going to drop so I slid down the kitchen cupboard and sat on the floor till dh came back from dropping ds somewhere, I'm fine now, weird though, going to get an early night so cyas morrow :)

[lizzyann]

OH Jo take it easy hun,have you had those turns before.:wub:

I have spent all evening trying to do a cc challenge,I just could not think of anything to do,tried a few things but did not like them,eventually I came up with something:wacko::wacko::wacko:

[Gertie]

Cheers for the advice Jo
CSCI came in for an inspection last Thursday,apart from a few concerns regarding storing of the hoists etc,the place passed,I'm sure someone is giving them a back hander somewhere along the line :(
The home has already been in the news, the previous manager/matron stole £200.000+ from the residents :(

Alfies prezzies are all wrapped up,balloons blew up just got to get a few things for his little tea party tomorrow,had to get him a couple of little things instead of his main present but he was happy with that,will take him to toysrus on Saturday :D

Jayne,hope you are reconnected quickly :)
Jo hope you are feeling better soon
Lizzy sounds interesting :)

[jayne b]

Morning all - back on line now :D

Jo - hope you are feeling better .... I have Meniere's disease which causes me to have vertigo attacks (although I havent had one for quite a while - touch wood :wacko:) so OH has often come home to find me sitting waiting for him to help me when I have dropped. Take care :wub:
Lizzie - what did you come up with??
Happy birthday Alfie!! :wub: Think I got the right day this time! :lol:
Have a good day everyone :D

[Evans1]

Morning everyone-had an early night last night with a migraine so up with the birds this morning!!! I am really missing the chocolate bars now I am on this diet-it is not good for me at all:)
That was a quick internet change over, Jayne-anything technical frightens me to death!
Keep those teeth gritted tightly, Sarah,not too long to go now and at least you will have a great day today-Happy Birthday Alfie!!!!
And Jo, that does not sound too good-hope you are feeling better today?
Have a great "Hump" day everyone-off to shower and wake the troops:)
Dawnx

[J0anne2403]

Morning All,

Crap night but hey whats new :wacko:

Right going to ignore manky sicky feelings and get stuck into the CC :P

Happy birthday little man, give em hell and scoff your cake mate! :rolleyes:

[Gertie]

Morning everyone :D
Well I survived the chaos of being woke at silly o'clock by Alfie wanting to open his presents, which he loved.
He only seemed interested in wearing his big badge to nursery which he proudly showed off to all his little friends and the teachers :lol::lol:

Taking a couple of his friends to McDonalds for dinner and then having a party tea here later.
I best get my butt into gear and clear the clutter off the breakfast bar/scrapping area :D:D

Bless him, I remember when it was so exciting to have a bd, at 21 I decided that I didn't need to remember anymore lol:lol:

[lizzyann]

Morning all,

Been having a tidy up in my craft room,for a cc challenge,weather is awfull,not doing much today,waited in to see postman,but no cheque yet.:angry:

Aim to do some crafting,could not sleep last night,feel tired today.

Happy Birthday Alfie hope you have a good one,don't eat too much or you will be sick.:lol::lol::lol:

Jayne I made an Oscar Backstage Pass.

Jo sorry you had a bad night,hope the crafting takes your mind off things.

Dawn hope you are feeling better.

[Gottacraft]

Happy Birthday Alfie .... Go mad kiddo ... run riot, have a blast :lol: :lol: Mummy won't mind :lol: :lol:

Sarah, seriously something has to be done about the home .... Good for you making sure the right people know what's actually going on. I mean, they're blinking lucky that they've got you and some of the others ... ooohhh makes me so mad.

Jo, sweet ... maybe it's your diet that's making you feel bad - maybe an food intolerance?

Dawn .. what's a "hump" day :lol: Oh happy St. George's Days everyone :) Simon's got a St. Georges Day Lunch today at the Grosvenor Hotel ... he loves it. I say lunch ... he'll be home late that's for sure :lol:

Jayne, what's Meniere's disease ... off to look it up :blink: Glad to see you weren't off line for too long.

Lizzy, how's the arm this morning?

[lizzyann]

Sandra my arm is fine,still getting tingles in the little finger,but not as bad now,it does not throb anymore,will just have to wait to see what the doctors are going to do about it.

[Gottacraft]

Don't leave it too long Lizzy ... if you still don't feel it's right, go back to the doctors. Talking of which ... how the ear infection?

[jayne b]

Meniere's disease is a malfunction in the inner ear - can cause chronic vertigo, tinnitus (ringing in the ears) & deafness. I was diagnosed 2 years ago after going to the docs for about 5 years to be told I had a virus/ear infection!! There isnt a cure and different things work (or dont work) for different people. I am on medication now & have hearing aids & have been fine for the last 18 months :D (I was going to say stable rather than fine but that is soooooo not true!!! :lol:) Just got all my other malfunctions to sort out now :blink:
Its easy on here - everybody else has to shout!! :lol:

[Nacks]

Omg you lot can talk for England :lol:

Look at you lot with all these oscars, wondered whre they were all comming from didnt understand !!

OMG Jayne you get up far too early :wacko:

Hope your feeling better Jo ?

Happy Birthday Alfie x

[Gottacraft]

Hi Trish .... I'm still confused by the oscars, I may need to read up on them.

That's frustrating Jayne ... you knew something was wrong, and it took quite some time to sort it. Still, at least you know now.

I'm trying to catch up on all my paper work today ... but I keep getting sidetracked on here :lol:

[J0anne2403]

My best friend all through school had that too, fortunately just in the one ear, she had loads of ops, they tryed to sort it so she would stop falling over so much but I was always picking her up even at sixth form. Thats when I was a healthier person myself of course :lol::lol:

I feel yuk Sandra but can't quite say exactly what it is, yer I have this virus but thats almost gone, my blood sugars are ok, my bp is ok, everything I can check myself is ok. Mind you I have just commenced the torrent again and have doubled my iron and taken the meds to stem it a bit, maybe thats why. It is getting me down, like I don't have enough to cope with with my ever so falling apart body aye, oh well I'm breathing :blink: {checks chests rises n falls} yep :wacko:

This weeks challenge lo

[Gottacraft]

I know this sound strange, but you know the troubles my mum had ... feeling dizzy, feeling sick, pain in tummy ... all those things. Well when it got particulary bad, that day. When I honestly thought she'd go into hospital - the doctor I called to the house, gave a whole list of aliments ... and he said it was depression. Well, she tried 3 different tablets, and now honestly, you wouldn't think it was the same person. Yes, she still has a problem with food ... but it's so much better now. Do you think, it could be the same for you?

[Nacks]

Have just been looking at all the classes, bought 2 of the kits before. Need to sort out some stash and lots of photos:blink: I dont know how much I will be doing this weekend though ! Will try to do some ! Isnt it funny when you kinda have plans and then... What im trying to say is that I was thinking about trying to get myself motivated and do as much as I could for the CC and then DH has said he is going to take us out on Sunday for lunch :wacko: Cant remember the last time we all went out together, it was ages ago :( why this weekend ? Im not knocking it as we very rarely go out for Sunday lunch... but... well you know what I mean dont you ?

[J0anne2403]

Nah, I do get down that I know but I have much moe that I enjoy and look forward to as well, I laugh alot, have more of social life than I have had in years recently, so I wouldn't say that I am depressed, miffed with life's stumbling blocks at times but nothing drastic :blink:

My family have been warned for over a month now, they will give me space and come running if I need them too lol:P

[Gottacraft]

No, if you met my mum ... she's always giggling, and have loads of friends over - but sometimes, I think you just don't realise what is happening. Just a thought anyway.

Trish - I know what you mean :lol: I do plan on doing some of the cc ... but Simon's at home at the weekends, and I don't want to spend all of it in my craft room away from him ... plus ... lunch ... I'd go for it :lol: :lol:

[Nacks]

Good on you Jo, I have mentioned it a couple of times but they moan all the time !! I love scrapping, they love it when I scrap a page about them and at the end of the day thats what its all about isnt it capturing all our memories good and bad :wub:

[Nacks]

I know, we havent been out in ages and he said we may go to fountains abbey afterwards for a walk, so hope fully I will get some pics of us together havent had any nice pics for a while and they may inspire some more scrapping :lol:

[Nacks]

The thing is Sandra you can always download the classes and do them at a later date cant you :rolleyes:

[lizzyann]

Trish that is what I am going to do,as I have an all day crop on Saturday, 9.30am - 10pm,but I won't stay all day,will see how I feel.

Sandra my ear is ok now,sometimes,it pops,but at least I can hear properly now.

Have spent this afternoon,pigging out watching a DVD,the new St Trinians,I love those films.

I love not having to go to work in the afternoon,so will try and manage on my morning job.

Sandra every team have challenges every day,and you get 1 oscar for every challenge you do,I won't be doing them all,because some are family orientated,and as I live on my own,it is a bit hard.

[J0anne2403]

WTG 9 Oscars lizzie

Wow a 9:30 - 10pm crop, thats terrific, ours are usually 10 -4pm, mind you I am normally pooped by 2ish and ready to sleep but that sounds awesome. I have been toying with the idea of one of these weekends away, they sound terrific and such a laugh, I'd have to save though, maybe quit stash buying a while (oh the pain )hehe

[Gottacraft]

Heaven above ... Jo, quiting stash shopping ... such bad langauge :lol: :lol:

Trish, I downloaded the classes last time, which was much beter for me ... I still have them, and often get ideas from them.

My goodness ... till 10pm - I'd be asleep by then Lizzy :lol: :lol:

[J0anne2403]

Wonder how Alfie is doing, hope Sarah gives us an update, bet he is loving it!

[J0anne2403]

Heaven above ... Jo, quiting stash shopping ... such bad langauge :lol: :lol:

Only temporarily mind ... not for ever , HEAVEN FORBID :lol::lol:

[Gottacraft]

I should hope not Jo :lol:

I think I'm getting old :lol: Some chap has just knocked on our front door ... saying the usual "I'm not selling anything" ... anyway, he went on to tell me that these house are built before 1930 .... blah, blah, blah and that he represents a company in the area, that will do a survey ... blah, blah, blah .. and anyway - I did stop him and tell him that Simon was a structural engineer ... but I'm telling you .. he look 12 :lol: :lol: honest, he did ... I thought he was with the scouts wanting to wash cars :lol: :lol: .... oooohhhh I must be getting old :lol: :lol:

[jayne b]

Evening all - hope you are all ok.
Jo - love the challenge LO. I am just trying to finish mine - it will be my first points!! Oooooo!! :lol::lol:
