Hi Cady welcome to the nuthouse!

have been feeling rubbish all day with earache of all things. Got home and skip has been delivered so we can be declutter central this weekend although I had to move my car as there is now only room for one on the drive and OH insisted it had to be his!!!!

Nipped into the pound shop this morning for some felt tips for DD for Easter and picked up some Neutrogena hand and nail cream which should be about £5 and some cracked heel cream which my friend uses and costs her a fortune.
Got to the till and realised I had 2 lots of felt tips but was dead chuffed when I examined them as they are suspiciously like whispers dual tipped markers and got 16 in the pack. just tried stamping with them and the design is fantastically clear and they wiped straight off the stamp :j.

I also got some bag lady money today and she had included a handstitched bookmark as well as a pink petticoat card - very very naughty person was extra chuffed as I never get anything handmade (other than cards from DD).

And OH has brought me a notebook laptop thingy home that he's going to build for me so hopefully I will be able to post photo's on eBay and not get screened out of loads of surveys as flash should work.

I'm a very lucky bear today and the sun's shining!

Welcome to the thread Cady :hello:

Arghhh only 4 and half hours before it all goes dark in MSE land I am going to have serious withdrawal symptoms but i'm going to go and join UK Scrappers later.

My new bed is up and OMG it is HUGE! We have a really big bedroom but it just looks so big! Might need to do some rearranging because i'm not liking the room how it looks now at all! It's very comfy and I like the colour of the leather though (cream) We're going to Asda now to see if we can find some bedding and get some munchies for tonight.

Oooh I found Jammy's and Sylphraven's threads on bingoport so i've replied to both. It's so hard to find a decent thread on there to join in, they're all just the same!

JS - Sorry your dad is giving you such a hard time. Must be very hard for you. He does sound like he needs to grow up a bit and accept some responsibility, you're a lovely person and he's missing out on spending time with you, like somebody else said, he's going to find himself very lonely if he's not careful.

Sugarspun - Hope everything is okay with your gran

Sending lots of hugs to you all, even if you don't want one, you're having one

Just wanted to update you that Mel is now 2nd in the voting yipee!!!

Also wanted to say how much I will miss you all this weekend! How sad am I!!!??? (actually don't answer that!!)
Luckily I am off out in about an hour so will be at the pub with the girls all evening, then tomorrow morning we are going to see friends who live in Swindon (guess what they have 'the range' shop down there and they have v fab outlets that I will be visiting!) and we're not back til Sunday so will be busy which will help the acute depression that would set in if I was at home trying to track you all down across the world wide web!!!

Have fab weekends and hope to see some of my fellow addicts back here on Sunday night!!! Big hugs xxx
