Ooh lots happening with everyone!

Sadly my plans for the weekend were cancelled FIL is poorly so can't stay with them in Dorset so wishing him well but sad we aren't having a weekend near the seaside with them.
So we went to the cinema (a rare event in our house!) we used Odeon Kids club £2.50per child and adult gopes free so £5 for the 4 of us and saw monsters v aliens! Had no food in at all so went to M&S and bought 2 of their dine in for £10 meals as a treat!!! Well we would have spent quite a lot on petrol and would normally take the inlaws out for lunch so prob saved money in the end!

I am gonna book my train tickets soon for the NEC soon, for the Friday me thinks, trying to get them booked before the price goes up! Was anyone else going from 'down South' in the end??????

sorry to hear about FIL furry, sounds like you still had a good day in the end though

have you been able to find a good deal for your train tickets?

Good to see you back Choccy

Sorry your plans were cancelled Furry, sounds like you are having a good weekend anyway

I have one duplicate Promarker pen, would you like it so you can have a go with one and see what you think?

Polly, your card is beautiful, I love it and thank you for sharing the promarkers site, I had a quick look earlier and there is so much advice about how to use them, even transfering stamped images to candles - brilliant for pressies :j

For anyone wanting to make a coaster calendar, these coasters are only 7p each and p&p is 99p. I have tried the magnets I got from ebay and only needed to use one in the middle to hold the coaster securely to the fridge so my 25 for £1.50 will keep me going for 25 coasters not 12 :T

Morning all.
Myz and Lucy - sorry you're feeling so bad, hope you both feel better soon. x
Choccy - any ideas how long your recuperation is likely to be? Hope it's not too long and you feel better soon. x
Rusty and Polly - Great cards on your blogs, I will try (again :rolleyes:) to leave comments. Rusty, have you bought the gorjuss stamp on your latest cards? I'm so jealous!
Furry - some of the promarker sets are also available on the Hobbycraft website at half price. Delivery is free if you spend over £25.
Hello to sillyinthepast; great user name

Hope everyone has a great weekend, and that anyone going away gets good weather and quiet roads.

ETA: Welcome back flourgirl

Hi JHB Yes I own that gorjuss girl stamp

and little miss attitude as she reminds me of Maddison!! ... I can send you some this week if you want?

Pinkladymel - I bought the blender pen in Sillymonkeycraft's sale a few weeks ago - I still haven't used it yet.

Gemm - my problem is the opposite to yours - there's so much that I want to buy!!!

Lucy Lu - that zip wire looks amazing, I couldn't do it though - I'm a wimp!

Polly - another beautiful card, I love how you've coloured your flower!

Rusty - I managed to pick up a few matchboxes the other day - have you started yours yet????

Still not started mine yet! Trying to muster up the energy but I also want some white glitter!! or even fine silver glitter but it is all so expensive!!
