Ordered already.
I would've waved if I'd known - I hope he wasn't as low as some we get over here you can nearly see the whites of their eyes :rotfl:.
We flew right over on the way to Corfu one year - shame the flight was from Manchester especially as we came back the same way and spent 3 hours stuck in traffic on the M60

Flourgirl/paddingtondoo - just ordered 3 black ink cartridges (compatible ones) for 15 quid from there plus my cash back - excellent!!!! I've just got to wait for them to arrive now.

The_wife - excellent card entry - I love all the blacks, golds and white that you've used - it looks so classy, and I love how you've used the gems.

Bunbun2 - no probs - sorry I didn't send you more!! The envelope looked a bit pathetic with them in!! The larger ones are called gromets - you use a different setting to attach these - and you don't have to make a hole first! Great news about your doctors visit!!

Louby Lou Lou - beautiful card, I really like the blue paper and your butterflies look fab.

Saveapenny - you're welcome - sorry it took me so long!!! Great another Big Brother fan - we'll be able to gossip about it!!

Mumhug - gorgeous bookatrix card. Your verse is lovely and makes perfect sense!! Really pretty colours. You're very welcome too! I also love your Thomas card - your eyelets and ribbon look fabulous with the image!!
