Well I'm fed up - I was telling my s-i-l how chuffed I was that my ankles hadn't swollen - then low and behold they have decided to triple in size today. I looklike I have two elephant feet!!

Oh I really don't envy you in this muggy yuckiness...

It's my daughter's birthday today...she's 4...my baby is 4!!!! ... I remember so vividly being heavily pregnant in heat _pale_ .. I said a few weeks before she was born how lucky I had been not to get heartburn this time...and the next day...well you can guess :rotfl:

Does anyone have any tips to get white, sticky double sided foam tape off scissors? I have 2 pairs that are ruined as they are covered in the foam. I bought it cheap from poundland but it is far too sticky and the minute i try and cut it it just goes all over the scissors. I have tried nail varnish so far and it hasn't touched it.
I need to get them sorted as they are completely unuseable.

i will have to get hubby to have a look for some in the garage for me tonight thanks. I will give anything a go. I think i might be in bad books with him tho. I am in the process of decluttering now we need the spare room and i have been putting 10 vhs tapes in the bin each week we have over 50 :eek: and they can't currently be recycled. But i have just remembered that his sky diving tape is amoung them! i have checked the ones left and i can't find it so it looks like it has gone to the tip! opps better no say anything until he asks lol. Think he paid £50 for a camera man to jump at the same time and film him i will b in trouble.

Oh noes...just got an email....

....congratulations to the winner of our competition to win a Quickutz Silhouette SD Digital Craft Cutter. The prize will be on its way to Mrs Diane Minards from Liskeard very soon!

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

...lol I really wish I hadn't spent £20 last night now *blush* ... ah well I got a heaty gun thing and some embossing powders.... so I guess that will be fun fun fun.... think I need some kid of mat tho don't want to melt my self heal one, don't think it would ever recover from the heat hehe... got 2 fairy doodles sheets to make it up to £20 as well...always wanted to get some of those

So excited...train booked for Manchester on Thursday... hotel right by the train station AND I phoned the hotel and they take you to the Kraftwerk thing! I had been worried about that! Oh wheeeee.. I really need to calm down though my energy levels are bad enough as it is but I keep screaming with excitement hehe

The guy at the hotel said we may as well come early and stick our luggage in there with them as there is a festival on.... I wouldn't have a clue what to do or where to go tho...never been to manchester :0

Can anyone with promarkers help ? What colours do you use for skin tones ?

I have whispers pens but fancied trying promarkers for a change :rotfl:
