    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!!

    Add me in for a double cheeseburger and mcChicken sandwich x
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together

    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 :)

    They are beautiful hayley, not naff at all :rolleyes: I would be thrilled to receive either or better still, both :D:D:D

    Just wanted to say make the most of it Hayley and i hope the mince was edible in the end!!

    Rainmac hurry up and have a play with that Quickutz cos if it's good I might need one!!! I have PM'd you.

    I was squeezing my Squeeze lots last night and I love it, it's so simple to use :T Can't wait for my shape dies to arrive. The only thing I will say is the alphabet letters that came with the tool are really small and I was expecting them to be a bit larger but they are a great size for cards. Fab for £20 I think :j

    Morning everyone, I'm up and early, done all my daily clicks for the day and the free scrathcard, won a £1 this morning woohoo lol. I think its up to £3.20 now.

    Rusty - hope your son's feeling better today, looks like tis doing the rounds.

    Well ive got a lot of sorting out to do today, want to sort out my craft cupboard (oh no!!!:eek:) as my duaghter is swapping rooms and moving into the spare room where its more cosy, means I will have the big room as spare to put all my stashes of everything.

    I'm determined to dig out OH's scrapbook I'm doing too and get another few pages done now I have some printer ink.

    Then back the to the knitting, half way up last front of exMIL's waiscoat, not long to go, might be able to finish it this afternoon once dinners on.

    Have a nice day everone

    Morning Rainmac

    My sister bought something that cuts out die cuts a few years ago, cant remember the name now, I was so jealous of her lol. I cant do so many cards these day though so might have been a waste if I had got one (would still like one though).

    Look at you nutters on here in the middle of the night :rolleyes: I went to bed at about midnight and got woken up at 6 by DS1 crawling into bed saying he couldn't breath cos his nose was blocked. He then proceeded to kick me to death until I gave in and got up at 6.30. Not really right on a Sunday!!!

    PLM, so glad you had a fab night :j Me and OH haven't had a night out on our own for over a year, think we need to get something sorted when he gets back :D Anyone fancy coming to babysit?

    Rusty, a Winnie the Pooh cake order - fab :T Sorry to hear master Rusty has been poorly, not fair or right that you feel guilty about not being at home. You're working to make money for your family. I absolutely know how you feel though ;)

    I too love McDonald's but compared to some of you, mentioning no names... PLM, Rusty and mum2one... I am a McDonald's lightweight :rolleyes:. My fave McDonald's food is a chicken nuggett happymeal (lightweight, I told you :o), banana milkshake, hot apple pie and hot chocolate yum yum yum yum yum :D

    I've wanted a die cutter for at least 4 years but couldn't justify the cost to myself but now I have one I am very happy :D
