It's on Stamford St in Ashton, it's called Create with Cards, just past Barclays on the other side It's really messy and disorganised but they really do have a lot of stuff, I was in heaven :rotfl:

Aurora - I am rubbish with blogs, took me ages to figure out how to change the background! I get the backgrounds from http://www.thecutestblogontheblock.com/ - they're really pretty and they have loads. Just click on one you like and it gives you instructions on how to put it on your page

Ashton-under-lyne? do you live in ashton? :eek: I used to live there!!! My son has just come back from there!

Skiergirl, Hayley - I go to stockport quite often, mainly to the merseyway shopping centre and matalan. Maybe we could do a thrifty/ gifty meet-up. :-)

And :eek: Ashton-under-lyne :eek: we have someone from there. Spooky. :-)

Hayley - thanks for the website :A , I am trying to find websites that do free blog backgrounds, looking for something like the cottage garden, woodland, or anything to do with the darling buds of may - I love the house, the animals, the lot. :-)
Also, I have the lavender forest on the photobucket as the background. It's gorgeous.

Sugarspan - sorry to hear that you're not well and all that trouble with the hotel. Hope you will get well very soon and the matter gets resolved quickly and in your favour. xxx

Rusty yes I live in Ashton! Wow small world!

Aurora a thrifty meet up sounds like a good idea! Oooh it'd be great to meet some of you

If anybody would like to come to a thifty meet up in Stockport let us know then we can arrange it.

RustyFlange

Wow it is indeed a small world, I lived just off Mossley road near hurst cross!

I would indeed love a thrifty meet up!!! but not in manchester ... not unless you all fancy helping to dig a big hole for my annoying Ex! Rainmac has the concrete sorted; )

hayley - what'ya mean you scared? :rotfl: ( I am petrified). :-) Rusty - I have a shed full of spades and such tools, no worries...:D :rotfl: I am very good with my tools, too. :rotfl:
BTW, Rusty - are feeling any better? My hands got all hot today from all that healing. :-)
Really hope that you are feeling better. Take good care, I was told not long ago that you must take care of yourself before you can take care of everyone else. If you are not well, you can't take care of your family etc... So take good care of yourself. xxx

mhaggie - well done!!! :-) French bread??? Or is it someone else who was in France? I am useless. :rotfl:

Remember to VOTE FOR MEL pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaase. :-) Thank you. xxx

I am trying to relax ... not easy though when you have a toddler to run about after.
I feel a little better, the tablets I took earlier seemed to help loads need to take some more though.
Thanking you Aurora xxx you are lovely xxx
