JailhouseBabe

Rusty, that's fantastic news! :j:j:j:jYou might have to treat yourself to some more goodies to celebrate
Is Aberdeen far from you? Commutable? My geography is rubbish!

Louby-lou-lou - I had a look at the flippin' range on the website I told you about, but couldn't see any gardening ones. Sorry.

pesky - have commented on your blog and am now a [STRIKE]stalker[/STRIKE] follower.

Welcome pesky33!

That's fantastic news Rusty you must be so relieved, so happy for you and Mr Rusty!

I've had an email from Craft Superstore and they are offering £5 bonus loyalty points with a spend of over £40 which gives you free postage too...and they have a basic grey kit on offer as well as some basic grey stamps in the special offer section....I could and might just spend a fortune!

oh and I assume you can still use the 15% off coupon too - edit: oh dear you can still use the 15% coupon...but I'm still £43 lighter!!

:j:j:jFantastic News Mr Rusty Well Done!:j:j:j

Rusty - I'm not selling I'm giving! Do you want a length of each of them?

Welcome Pesky Lovely things on your blog - I'm a follower now too.

Flourgirl - Thank you so much for your lovely ATC AND the pretty bookmark. They are fabulous - I nearly cried when they came at lunchtime as I'd just lost mine for you as my PC crashed mid save.

Since my traumatic morning I've had carp service at my Bank (cheeky teller doesn't deserve her job) then got very 'upset' at work when faced with people not following the rules causing problems for me. I can't seem to come down. DH is keeping a low profile in case he's next........Think I'll go to bed now so I can start afresh tomorrow...............

Hels102 I've had the claim form come for the missing parcel - I presume it hasn't arrived? - I'll let you know how I get on with it.....

Sorry Ladies for that total rant - thank you for your patience with a grumpy old woman I'll come back when I'm a bit calmer.:o

The_wife - hope you have a fab day in Kent. Your collection of cards look lovely!
Flourgirl/craftygranny - I ordered some square card bags from craft superstore - my Mum's bringing them up later but I'm not sure they'll fit in there. If not I'll order some from craftwork when I order the blanks (thanks for the link craftgranny).
Lei-armstrong - if you want the chipboard pieces you can have them - they'll hardly cost anything to post so I don't want any money, I'll just be glad to clear a bit more space!
Louby lou-lou - hope you manage to get everything done - sounds like you've got a busy day ahead of you!!
Rusty - I hate it when I run out of DST, can you colour some images instead and put your feet up? What sort of paper lace did you mean (sorry if I'm being thick)?
Chocolate.orange - did you find the link?

Are you sure? That's really kind of you thank you - I've PM'd you x

Hello everyone
And welcome Pesky fab cards on your blog I'm now a follower!
Mr Rusty fab news! and Mrs Rusty I am loving your cards!!!
The Wife gosh you have been busy, all looks so professional!
Marg No I'm afraid still no parcel:mad: our postie is always so good to, I've mentioned it to him so he knows I'm due a parcel.

I've also made another card http://helsbelswork.blogspot.com


I attempted the double pocket card last night with some old card, Oh my gosh how easy are they! Can't wait for my nice new cards to come now!! Has anyone got instructions for the normal pocket card?

Rusty so pleased to hear that OH got his job.

Welcome to the thread pesky your cards are great.

Melissa I'm glad you got the ATC and that you liked it.

Not sure if any of you have a Wilkinson nearby but the store I work in has all their cardmaking bits reduced by 25% at the moment.

:j:j:j:j Congrats to the Rustys!!!!!!!!:j:j:j:j


Glad things are looking up for you.


I've had such an awful day. :-(
I picked my mum up from the airport - she's bipolar (but refuses treatment) and there's just no knowing what she will be like - at the moment she's in a manic phase (no social inhibitions, deliriously excited about mundane things, spending money recklessly but also refusing to pay for things herself, doing 'little' things like leaving the hot tap on full blast :eek:, etc, etc).
I find the manic phases harder to cope with than the depressive ones.
OH is away on business and my kids were so appallingly behaved today I felt like the worst mum ever. Then as I was trying to sort the kids both screaming at once in Chester High St my bra broke!!!!
I fought back the tears all day and then hubby phoned this evening and I just went to pieces.

The only light I saw today was when I opened the mail to find Flourgirl's wonderful stamped images . THANK YOU A ZILLION TIMES!!! You have no idea how fantastic it was to receive those.
Quick question: how do you get your images to come out so beautifully? Seriously, pls do tell!
