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:

That card is FAB, I love it

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!!

:rotfl:Tell your OH he'll come when he wants too, that's how it usually happens I remember mine saying he didn't want me going into labour at night as HE'D loose sleep :rolleyes: :rotfl:

Both mine were born early in the morning so my then OH lost out both times - he spent most of my labour with DD trying to sleep with his feet on the bed :eek:. Serves him right for going out when I told him I was in labour and not believing me!

JHB great card, I am glad she is well enough to keep her sense of humour.
I am not posting too often as my menieres has been bad this week and scrolling pages is a problem, however I have managed to craft and finished my pocket card, where should I dowload it here or CP?

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:

Saveapenny my CDs arrived this morning, thankyou I hope they were of use
Sorry to hear you havent been well again x

Paddington Fab card and altered box on your blog they are both gorgeous
They had loads of embellishments in a big tub there were some stamps and handmade papers too. They also had the Christmas goodie bag, I think the Docrafts demo was 25th July.
