Thursday morning

Good morning to you all, How are you all today, doesnt look to bad out there, after the mist and fog yeasterday. Nothing on today so will have to get card making on catch up. Lv Janet

Good morning Janet and all who follow, got to nip out and sign on at 11.30, is a pain really as I don't physically get any money from them but they do at least pay my NI stamp so it is something I suppose
Not got much on here today, Mike is off work for the rest of the week.
Di has just nipped in for a cuppa on her way to work, was great to see her
Hope everyone is feeling better today, have a good day all

Morning Janet and Jan, bit overcast here again today but not raining or foggy Have to nip to the post office to post my card swap, but otherwise nothing on except to make 3 cards which my friend has asked me to make for her. She told me the other day that her sister had returned the card I had made back to her as she liked it so much that she wants it again next year I will have to look at my photos to see what I did for her and stick with that Trouble is that's one card less I will have to make next year

Hope everyone who has been ill is feeling a little better today.

Morning ladies from a wet and grey Cardiff - go*****ed stupid weather he he I only get so annoyed as damp and wet weather are the worst conditions for Fibromyalgia and other rheumatic sufferers. I want to be free I tell you, free as a bird flying on air ..... ok back to reality he he I'm not very sociable when I'm like this so please excuse me if I don't say much ... yup I know some will think, phew thank goodness for that he he I will be winging my way to the Post Office later today so that you can have your swap card Jan and those with a birthday can have theirs

Hugs for all that need and hope you will all be feeling much better soon

I will be posting mine out to today Jen

Weee a card in the post for me he he

Good morning my fabulous friends xxxxxxxxxx

Well I am all chipper this morning because it is the first time since the kids went back to school today that I haven't limped!!! Felt quite normal walking up the road for once!! I am hoping this lack of excruciating pain is a sign that my new meds are working, well I am keeping everything crossed although I know it probably isn't as I have only taken 2 doses so far!! Still.... hoping!!!

Jen..... i hope you are feeling a bit more social soon! I understand how you feel as I have just been diagnosed with early onset progressive rheumatoid arthritis and the last three weeks have been absolutely miserable xxx Big hugs for you and I hope the sun shines for you soon xxx

Hope you all have a lovely day crafting or whatever takes your fancy!!

Hugs for Mikki and OH xxx

Hopefully they have the right meds now Lou and you will continue to feel less painful

Glad you are feeling better Lou, It must be awful for anyone to have continual pain, I suffer occasionally from a backache and when that goes on all day I feel miserable, so don't know how I would cope if it was there all the time. It's not that bad either, doesnt stop me doing anything, but I still moan and complain

Dull and grey here. Been crafting all morning -making next month's cards and prepping for my last few classes before we leave for Oz in just 3 WEEKS!!!!!!!!

Might go for a swim and steam later then start to lay out some clothes for packing. Wardrobe needs pruning as I'm finally throwing away all the 'big' stuff.

Hubby finally phoned the doc and got some antibiotics in an effort to get rid of his 6 week old cough.

Glad you're feeling better Lou but sorry about the damp weather is causing some of you a few more aches and pains.
Done all my cards for this month and started on the Feb/March ones now.

Afternoon ladies. Having a quiet day today. Have had a reorganisation of craft stuff this morning. Going up to Roy's this afternoon to cook dinner. He says his legs are improving already with his drugs. He hates having to take anything and at the moment is on 9 pills a day!

Good afternoon ladies im chilling at the moment drinking tea and over indulging in some thorntons choccies , i could not resist at half price made a few cards for incase any birthdays spring up and ive forgotten. Ordered some stuff from QVC hope its not long before it here hugs to those who need them

With a certain amount of fear of jacky getting upset with me again I am going to post a link.....

Craftyribbons are having a sale... all their lots of ribbon (usually £5) are reduced to £1

http://www.craftyribbons.com/shop_january_pack_sale___new-54.aspx

Just in case you are wondering what to do with all those ribbons, pop along here ....

Ribbon blossom

Louise you are nawtee, especially when I haven't got any spare cash at the mo
I love ribbons and have far to many at the moment that will take me years to use but just a few more when my cheque clears woohoo

Jacky hasn't spotted it yet!! Maybe I have got away with it LOL

I feel for you both, my daughter in law was diagnosed last year, she was in so much pain, and she is only 22, and when I watch her when its bad and there is nothing I can do for her, it breaks my heart so feel for you both Janetxx

Thanks for the hugs and well wishes, I'll be ok soon ... at least I'm on the home stretch now - come March my symptoms start easing a bit and SADS normally goes away until next Oct. I was just meant to hibernate through the winter months he he

A few of those ribbons fell into my shopping basket too and will be with me next week It mentions that the next shipping is 19th Jan so I guess she only sends once or twice a week rather than daily. But, its ok I can wait he he

Thanks Janet xxx

Jen...... I think members on another forum (where I got the link and not the other one you know) have probably been keeping them busy!!! They ordered and their parcels have already been despatched....and received... so all the cards they are posting are ribbonified!!!

That's even better then Lou he he

She must have been watching the news yesterday about 2 brothers who have been sending the same card to each other for 40 years with a new message/photos etc added each time!
