well I've just had a whopper........ooh er missus! at BKing, that was after I had eaten a BIG bag of minstrels at the cinema! But Super hero Money saving Mhagster had made up bags of sweets and popcorn and juice for children before going.

I am now gearing up for my trip to Tesco for my Sunday bargains where it has been known for me to nearly come to blows with a very old lady and a packet of 6p pancakes.!!

I must climb Mount Ironing tonight........it's huge ! Usually keep on top of my ironing but have had a busy week , anyway will do it and watch Dancing on Ice at same time......multitask!!

Good luck at Tesco! Ours is rubbish for bargains :mad:

I've got the ironing to do tonight too, wow our lives are so excitiing :rolleyes:

Jumps in the Mcdonalds eating event- is the 2 burgers in large meals with 2 large fries?
:oCause I sometimes can eat a McChicken sandwich and a big mac and 1 large fries and a strawberry milkshake oh yeah I am rock and roll I tell ya. nah Im just a pig if i end up grabbing mcdonalds - which is normally a oh crap i forgot to eat today meal like how Im trying to justify it.
Although I used to be able to eat a 12inch Steak and Cheese subway but now I cant.

Is it poorly children season??
Mutant seal coughs are great Arf Arf :j

Rainmac I love that exploding box - very talented

This thread just makes me want stuff - not even stuff I need just stuff I want. Thanks Ladies!:cool:

I have to agree with Aurora that box is beautiful and I could never create anything that lovely..how do you cut the papers so well for a start? and the colours are fab well done you :T

mum2one

Rainmac - the box is absolutely beautiful, if you were to get anything like that from a craft stall, you wouldnt get much change from £20. Its absolutely beautiful.

Never mind the talk of McDonalds, I could just murder a pizza......... ham, bacon, pineapple and chicken..... xx

Hello everyone, I am so tired today as my boys are tired and have been arguing all day and I am struggling to think what to cook for tea - is fish fingers allowed on a Sunday? I've been terribly lax with cooking since OH has been away Hopefully will sort tea early, then bath and then pop them in bed

I've been making this exploding box over the last few nights, hope you like it. I had all the stuff already, just had to buy some 12x12 cardstock which cost me just uner £2 for the 4 sheets. It's for my mum for Mother's Day and I've used quotes and words that make me think of her...













Haven't photographed all the pages, thought you'd get a bit bored

Need to make a card and then she is done for MD. May also frame a photo of her gorgeous grandkids which is what I think I am going to give MIL. Got the frames already, just need to take a good photo

Rainmac, i love it but i also hate it because it is so much better than mine, i am never EVER EVER showing my work because it is so rubbish:eek:
Mel where did your hubby get the Joker TShirt from?? My brother is so addicted and he hasn't got that TShirt and he says that he wants it and needs it.:rolleyes: Rolling eyes:rolleyes: And you did want to get your baps out to show off:p HAHA:rotfl:
Hayley11- The explosion boxes are really good, i managed to do it, i have never ever scrapped, and it was the first ever thing i made EVER!!!:D It was easy once i ead the instructions properly haha:rotfl: And your cards are gorgeous. :T Well Done you:T

See I can't wait on the ironing front as DS1 has no uniform for school tomorrow :rolleyes: I HATE IRONING, such a waste of time :mad:

mhagster

It has taken me to the wise age of 39 and 11/12's to realise washing and ironing is perpetual!
I used to think' oh I just did 2 loads yesterday and here's another pile gathered! Where has it came from...?' mmmmm.... 3 kids , 3 loads of school uniform and my work clothes etc etc......and then my darling Oh will come home with 10 weeks worth of dirty socks! No actually hotel does them! lol

I like kids to wear clean clothes everyday, when probably it would do a couple of days.
Anyway,it's all there waiting for me.....!

Thanks for all the lovely comments about my cards I'm going to make a couple more tonight

Rainmac - that box is absolutely beautiful, you are very, very talented. How did you manage to the edges of the paper rounded like that?

I do love it when you all post pictures of all the pretty things you've made, I could look at them all day

It doesn't look like i'll be able to come to the NEC. I checked train prices before and to get there early it's going to cost me more than £40 If I wanted tickets for £20, I wouldn't get there til after dinner. I'll come to the next meet

All this talk of maccy d's, you're all very naughty! :rotfl: I don't really like maccy's though, I love the breakfast but i'm very rarely up in time for that :rotfl: And gherkins _pale_ I ate one by mistake once and had to run to the toilets to throw up! They are the most vile things ever! *shudders*

I hate ironing too! I only iron as and when I need something. I hope that by hanging it up creased, some of the creases will have dropped out and it'll be easier to iron I couldn't iron all the clean clothes in one day, I swear it would drive me insane.

Well I am going to sort out all my paperwork into my brand spanking new filing cabinet thingy. I bought a cheap one from Wilko's yesterday and it broke after about 2 minutes :rolleyes: So i'm taking that back tomorrow.
