Afternoon all

Hi everybody

Not much is happening at the moment I am taking it very easy and not doing very much at all, Alan made me promise not to do anything in the house except make cards which is what I have been doing, can't sit for very long but I have managed to make a card for the Crafting for all Seasons challenge number 64 the challenge is using autumn colours and I have used a Kenny K image that I have had for a while now, coloured in using promarkers and fleximarkers papers are from stash as is ribbon and the bits of bling and flowers I have used. Hope you like it

Well am of to have a cuppa before the gang get home, Alan is going shopping on his way home from work as I am not able to drive just yet but at least I am home and can relax a lot better than in hospital it was so noisy the food was awful but I know I was in the best place as I could not stand or sit because of the pain.  On the mend though now thank goodness.

Will do a bit of blog hopping when I have had my cuppa using my ipad that way I can sit in comfort in the living room.

 

Love to all

Thank you so much

Afternoon all

Firstly let me thank everybody for your well wishes I really appreciated them am now safely home and have made a card to show you today.  Lots of painkillers but at least I can now stand up and feel the lower half of my body thank goodness a bit scary to say the least.

Secondly I notice I have a new member so welcome Dawnyfox thank you for following my site. 

I have a card to show you today was going to enter this into a challenge but then forgot to distress my papers so am going to make a different one for the challenge and just keep this one to sell at my next craft fair. 

I used a pink gem snowman image they are so cute could not resist, the papers are from Bearly Mine, Snowflake is from one of the dies I bought at Taunton the little silver embellishment sitting on the bow was from the goodies I won from Natalie goodies giveaway, I created the sentiment on the computer.

 

well that's it for me for now can't sit on the computer chair for too long as it makes me hurt more that I already do

 

Will be back later to do a bit of blog hopping

 

Love to all

Good News

Evening all

Had my MRI scan and whilst there is no further degeneration and nerves not being trapped I am to expect these flare ups and there is no treatment except painkillers in the form of Tramadol and Morphine.  I had no sooner had the results back, Alan had just left to come home when they said I could go home.  Told them my daughter would pick me up after she had finished work as it is a 30 mile round trip from our house to hospital and Sarah was closer but she didn't finish work until 5 or just after, they kept coming over to me every 10 mins asking when Sarah was coming in.

I was also sent home with no pain relief luckily I have tramadol and oramorph here at home which my GP prescribes for me for my arthritis.  Hopefully I will be back crafting shortly.

Bye for now.

Well bye for now

OMG what an awful day

Hello peeps

What an awful day yesterday and today has been, ordered a new phone for Alan online from Carphone Warehouse on Thursday and it came with a free Samsung 2 7.0 tablet but no SIM card, for the phone so rang them up and they said I could get one from their branch at Marsh Mills in Plymouth so travelled the 10 miles to branch queued 20 minutes got to counter and was told they had none in stock and that I would get one in their branch in New George Street which is in Plymouth Town Centre so off I went again a further 5 miles parked the car walked up to the branch, bearing in mind that to walk any distance is quite painful and I use crutches got to the branch queued again for a further 10 minutes only to be told (guess.......) they had none in stock and I would have to go to their branch in the Mall, could feel my blood beginning to boil at this point.

So off I went again got to the Mall, you guessed it queued again but this time they had one in stock, the staff in their were falling over themselves to help me, got me a chair to sit on, offered me a drink and sorted everything out including keeping Alan's old number.

I was shattered when I got home fell asleep in my chair around 7pm and woke up when Alan shook me to say come to bed.

This morning was getting tidied up before getting ready to go over to Rachel's for a crafty afternoon stretched up to put a skirt in the wardrobe and my back gave way so now I can hardly walk or move without shooting pains in my back and down my left leg so no crafting with Rachel today.  Boo hoo.

I do have a couple of cards to show you but may have trouble getting them onto my blog as my memory card has broken and I can't get the pictures off it. So am trying something different.  my neighbour has asked me to make a couple of plain cards for posting so I came up with these yesterday before I went on my mega trip.  Hope you like them.

Well that's it for me for today, have been doing a lot of blog hopping today but will keep checking your brilliant work over the next few hours until bedtime.

Loads of love
