So sorry your DS is so poorly with chicken-pox Louby. Hope the GP can give him something to relieve the pain/itching x Can't beleive your firends aren't excited for you . My oldest friend is due in less than 2 weeks and I am losing sleep thinking about her :rolleyes:

Padster, your shoulder sounds really painful. Please rest where possible and painkillers will propbably help? I love storms - so long as I don't need to leave the house We've had quite a bit of rain but no storm today.

I am getting myself in a mess with all the challenges - need to make a list and then start making them. I am not doing the CCC one this week as have no inspiration for a wedding card.

Happy belated Birthday Skiergirl :bdaycake:

Whoo-hoo lei, brilliant news about the Cuttlebug :T

npsmama, love the piggies

mumhug, I leave all my cards blank inside and have done for the ones I'm going to try and sell next month.

Rusty and choccy, you've been spending, spending, spending!!! Can I ask do the Magnolia Stamp Club stamps come on one sheet that you have to cut and then mount onto that squidgy stuff (EZ Mount or something?)?

Rusty, my littly son did his first wee in a potty yesterday! He has previously gone on the toilet but we've had several months of him refusing to want to try so I thought I'd leave it to the summer and lo and behold, he performed yesterday! He's woken up today with a horrible cough, literally coughing constantly so not going to make him use it today.

Not sure if it will come like that or not? the single ones I have bought have previously come mounted on the Ez foam and precut? but then with this being a few of them I would expect to cut them myself :eek:

Rainmac I lasted til 1pm and I gave up, she had a wee on the potty but then had an accident with number 2 whilst eating lunch ..... she screamed the house down and I was trying to clean it all up :eek: it was everywhere threw her in the shower to clean her up and put her upto bed bless her!
Hope your littly is feeling better soon

Lei, have a look on my blog, www.craftywife.blogspot.com and there's a link to Ikky's cuttlebug blog, this will tell you all you will need for the Bug. If not, someone may come along with more help than I can give as I have the Wizard machine. Nesties and other Spellbinders dies will go through the Bug quite easily once you've got the right mat.

There is more info on the Spellbinders site www.spellbinderspaperarts that will give you all the layers to help with the Nesties and the Bug (sounds like a new range of stamps! :j I said it first!!!)

Cheers off to look now!

Thanks, I've been to the drs this morning as I actually did it on Wednesday night in bed somehow and it had just got worse - rang at 9:50 and got a 10:20 appt! Probably coz usual guy is on holiday and he's told me which cocktail of drugs to take.

I have to rest it but keep it active or I'll end up with a frozen shoulder so basically if anything makes me go ouch I shouldn't have do it :rotfl:. A little light crafting is fine (tried earlier) it's right shoulder and I'm left handed but hoovering ironing and hanging out washing is out as is going to work coz it hurts to drive . Can't post any pics coz I left my phone charger at my mum's at the weekend and camera on old one is pants

Rusty 2 fab cards on your blog :T I have left you comments.

Rainmac I didn't know you had a littly I thought your boys were at school. Hope he will be feeling better tomorrow.

Lei Fab news about the Cuttlebug. My DIL has just been having a play on mine and was really impressed. I'm going to order some more embossing folders today as I have a voucher to spend

Louby I hope you got on alright at the Drs this afternoon. I can't believe your friends aren't excited for you, they should be ringing you up everyweek to see how you are and if they can be of help. Thats what I did with my friends. Anyway you can always come on here for a laugh or just tea and sympathy

Nps gorgeous piggies love their names. Think I would have called them Sweet and Sour

Oh Rusty poor you, rubber gloves and disinfectant, don't bite your nails this afternoon :rotfl:

Paddington I think we had the same storm. We had just come out of the pub (yummy carvery) and were half way to the car when it started, by the time we had driven 5 miles to Sainsburys it had stopped but the roads were flooded. I have just checked the rain barrel on the side of the house, DH emptied it yesterday and now its full to the top (40gallons)

Ooops nearly forgot CP July challenge card on my blog

I never checked the water butt - pond has been topped up nicely though fish don't look very chuffed. Thought of your OH yesterday when I came past Waddington and nearly got some blue things in through the sun roof (no idea what sort they were but they had wings and were going v fast). :rotfl:

Indeed it was - thought I was going to get stuck in huge queues of traffic as had to take DD to suffolk for her dad's wedding but was only about 10 mins on way there and got straight through on the way back

fab cards everyone:T

we have had the storm too - torrential rain at 3 o'clock just as the boys finished school

I have just been to the Doctors with ds2 and he has shingles:eek: like with chickenpox he has to wait till the spots dry up before he can go back to school. I have my free hair cut at SAKS tomorrow which I will have to cancel as the only person who could have looked after him is pregnant. also we are having our kitchen redone so there is mess everywhere - not a great week for him to be ill. he is OK though - he has been to school today. louby I hope your ds is feeling better.
