salesadmin - where did you actually put the code in? I just can't see it for looking!

MrsTidge

npsmama - please don't apologise for being 'ot'. I've only been here a while but it's clear to me that this board is as much for support in our real lives as well as in our crafting lives. I think you are a saint personally!

Marg

Npsmama - being on here means no need to apologise we are here to support and craft!! Hope all is calm 'til DH returns. I do sympathise & think you are a star for having your Mum to stay.

Mumhug - No it's not too plain. As a child of the sixties I think it looks just right - you've captured the mood well. I loved the Beatles

When you go to checkout there are three buttons in the middle..redeem loyalty points, voucher and promotional codes and something else. You need the middle one. It needs to go in the bottom box. - It doesn't look like it's taken anything off until the next page though if that helps!!

npsmama - I think it is great that you take care of your mum when she's around. I'm sure there are a lot of people that wouldn't. I would like to think that although she may be a bit disruptive, your children will know how kind you were taking care of her and eventually they will probably be better people because of it too

Salesadmin - thats weird, I haven't got any buttins. Maybe you don't get the options till you've actually got some points! Will have to think of a way round this...

Marg - hope you have a better day today

mumhug - hope you feel better soon and you're not too dizzy. I had it a few years ago, so I know how awful it makes you feel

npsmama - hope you have a better time today, sending ((hugs)) to you. I think you are wonderful for caring, hope the rest of the weekend isn't too stressful

Jailhouse - good luck with the decluttering

I've made another fathers day card today, picture is on my blog. The tag is on straight, it must be the angle of the camera

salesadmin thank you for posting the code that wil save some time lol

npsmama sounds like you are doing a great job . it can't be easy my o/h was diagnosed with manic depression years ago cos they didn't want to stick the bipolar label on him . i'm sure your children will grow up remembering how good and kind you were to grandma too. goodon you for not turning your back like many others do.

Marg - my OH is untidy and it drives me crackers - he just expects me to pick everything up after him!! I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle too!
Npsmama - feel free to offload. It sounds like such a horrible situation to deal with, it must feel like you have another child to babysit. At least your OH will be able to help out later.
Craftygranny - I'll have a look in a mo and put up a link to the card bags - save you looking. I wish I had bought more now, I don't know if I'll oder again from them yet though - the thing with craft superstore is that I feel I have to order over 40 quid so I get the free postage deal!
Mumhug - great card, it doesn't look too plain at all!

Craftygranny - here's the link for the bags at craft superstore, its 50 for 2.49 - the envelope from craftworkscards large scalloped cards fits perfectly inside:

Whoopsy - was doing so well with my 'no carft puchases pledge' but then I had to order my cuttlebug (its my early birthday present to myself) because my friend who is holidaying in the US has managed to pick up some embossing folders for me. Somehow £20 more stuff jumped into my basket but I figured I might as well buy all I wanted whilst I had the £15 code and was getting free postage anyway.
now have £12 worth of points for a future shop.
Dilemna now is do I get her to get me a cuttlebug alphabet? - she says they're about £34.99 in Jo-ann. But I'm already nearing £60 worth of spend today. Yikes!
