Nothing wrong with both my minds eye I did the same . Think I'll probably buckle and buy some more bits - I keep looking at the buttons...........

Trunks are fine - in fact they must be the biggest noses you can get - DD loves efelants as she used to call them.

I was only thinking about Melissa earlier although my brother and twin nephews birthdays are all on 11th

Paddingtondoo - my OH doesn't want him to be born tomorrow - there's a big fighting event on the tv that he's been looking forward to for ages and he doesn't want to miss it!!!

Gemm - thanks for the link - I've just spent a tenner on flowers and beer mats. They were selling out quickly - a few of the items I'd chosen were out of stock when I came to checkout but I still managed to buy loads!!

I got them from the Brigg Garden Centre. They also had Thompson and Morgan seeds 1/2 price plus for every 2 packets you got a free pack of tomato seeds worth £1.99 so for £5.31 i got 4 packs of veg seed 2 packs of flowers and 3 free packs of tomatoe seeds. good bargain eh

I've just had to collect friend's son from school as she has swine flu. Would it be cruel if I made her a get well card with pigs on it? :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Depends on her sense of humour. Go for it, it might just cheer her up

Oh dear - don't know whether to thank you or not Gemm! I was quite good though, I only spent £5 on flowers. :rolleyes:
Flourgirl and Melissa - sounds like you both picked up some bargains today.
Rusty - hope all went well today x
Paddingtondoo - I love your Christmas challenge card; I've commented on the blog.

Well, I did it - I made a get well card and posted it through friend's letterbox while walking the dogs. I've just had a text to say that she loved it. Here it is:
