    Ooooh I made some cards!! :j And even though the quality isn't good I think they look quite pretty :j Don't look too close or you'll see the wonky lines and stuff :rotfl: I couldn't get the first one any bigger, photobucket is being weird :rolleyes:

    We can't decide which one we like best. I'm going to make some more tomorrow, practice makes perfect and all that :D

    Don't feel obliged to say they're great or anything, I know compared to others they are absolutely naff but i'm quite proud of them. I think it helps that the design is very pretty :)
    :heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:

    Aww thank you :D I got the stuff free in the mag I got earlier and the designs were in there. I couldn't think up pretty designs like that myself! I love creative stuff but I am not creative at all :rotfl::D

    Morning all ... Hope everyone has had a good night. I have been to work and been rushed off my feet!! .... I seem to attract old men :rotfl: Still its a good laugh :D

    One of the customers has ordered a winnie the pooh nappy cake so I can go shopping tomorrow :D

    However now my big littly has been throwing up whilst I was at work so I feel really guilty as OH said he wanted his mammy :( and I was too busy at work :(

    Hayley I have sciatica too (I sound like i'm falling apart don't I haha!!) Don't you find it a nightmare when you lie in bed and then you can feel it down the back of your hip and in your thigh and you get restless legs. Sounds like you earnt that butty.. Stop doing so much you crazy lady :D Don't you sometimes feel like men do what they want and you stupidly let them.. smiling.. and then when you want one little thing.. like a magazine from WHSmith.. it is far too much to ask. Anything for a quiet life eh? Love the cards yuo have made.. really well laid out.. You make lovely things you know and you should have the confidence to make something more often x

    Aloise What can you say about kids eh?? They have a way with words! Glad you got some bra bargains :)

    Clairealo I don't know how the voucher works.. Is it ok to use it on Virgin Vie? Perhaps PM Jammy or someone else who had the voucher as they might not have seen your messages.. sorry I can't help you more.

    mum2one My friend is a mormon and she keeps a food and water supply in case of the worst. She actually puts a bit of bleach in all of the bottles of water and this makes it 'keep' indefinitely :o

    Rusty I have got my tape measure out.. if you wanna meet, I say bring it on :p I had a chinese last night too so I am in good shape for a win LOL

    Scattymam It sounds like it's all going on for you.. I really hope you find the house of your dreams. The one you have seen right now sounds perfect and your husband sounds like a true gem.

    Bunbun I hope you had a lovely weekend without the kids. It is always so awkward when the kids are gone.. what do you talk about haha!! I do feel sorry for your husband watching mamma mia lol

    choccy Orange Elf Rider What do you want to know about buying a Sizzix for EH?! LOL Save them pennies young lady!! Missed you tonight.. we will have to catch up soon :D Oh I see you have BOUGHT one!! Well.. we are falling out lady LOL What are all these spends!!

    Mhagster I WILL KNOW!! I see all y'know LOL You instigator of trouble.. just because you can't come to the NEC doesn't mean you have to destroy choccys dreams of over expenditure.. tsk.. no wonder they didn't print you in Bunty you trouble causer :D:D

    Furrypig Prima is my absolute favourite.. they make my heart beat fast LOL I am goin to look for some more stash at the NEC and if I come back empty handed then there will be a big spend at QVC :D I was reading up on last years NEC and Prima were there giving out free stamps :o GUTTED!! I see you have been a BAD GIRL too !! TSK!!

    Rufusdog Glad you got to have a bit of sunshine and relaxation before the housework :) Well done on getting a bit more of that knitting done. I can't knit at all LOL

    Rusty What is it with OH's telling us things like that.. don't they know it makes us feel crushed inside LOL Don't you worry she will be alright and happy to see you in the morning xx

    I went to my sisters today and I finally managed to get her to crack out the crafting stuff from the cupboard and scrap!! In the end she made a page and I was so proud of her. Came home and had some Salmon and chips before going out to the pub (mine's a coke!!) to see my sons teachers band.. BelchpopFrenzy :D

    I always attract freaks. As soon as I stepped in there this guy started hugging me and trying to dance. I must look cuddly.. No comments!!

    had a brilliant night.. feet are killing me from wearing my ridiculous Tuk wedges on a cobbled floor. What am I doing now.. TYPIN ON HERE!! Did I miss you all?? YOU BET!! Am I a sad case.. WHO GIVES A SHIZ?

    Hope you all had a brilliant night and it seems we all had a good weekend in one way or another.

    Rainmac Glad your chinese with the girls went so well and it sounds like you had a really good time with the kids. So much yummy food.. I'm coming to yours :)

    Aww sowwy I didn't know it was lickle Thomas.. BAD ME for not reading properly :( I know how it feels with your first born.. boys really need their momma so bad when they're poorly don't they. You know for a fact that in the morning he will get up and he won't even remember needing you last night but will fill you in on all the details of his stomach explosion lol.

    I wish I had a greasy burger right now. There used to be a time when we would go out at stupid o clock to shop and buy crap but he won't do that now.. damn these grumpy old men!!

    If we meet up we need to go to Mcdonalds and you can not worry about your skinny friend looking at you whilst you devour it :D I do warn you though.. on a hungry day I will eat a fish fillet AND a chicken mayo :p

    BEAT THAT!!
