    Let one of our neighbours know that our printer has packed up so can't do that little printing job for them

    hi, glad to see you back on here, sorry to hear you've been going through it but glad that they have discovered what's been wrong.

    Hi Lemontree, How are you? Did you start your scrapping?

    Tonight I am trying to comfort Lucy who is desperately trying NOT to be sick like a little kiddy. Something has upset her tummy and she's clinging to me for dear life. I had to sneak her over to next door's front lawn so she could eat some grass as we have shillies!

    Poor wee thing-hope I'll get some sleep tonight but methinks I'll be trundling round after a poorly dog.

    hi, yes i got the wedding scrapbook made, and we even eventually sorted the official one. I've also done the honeymoon scrapbook as well.
    I'm currently working on calendars as chrissy pressies, and will be glad to get back to proper scrapbooking.
    Hope Lucy's tummy has settled down and you both got some sleep in the end.

    I'm so happy to hear you sorted out your photos Lemontree and you're scrapping again. I never did anything creative until I discovered the crafting threads on here. Now I'm sewing sock monkeys (I find it very therapeutic), making pots of gold, toffee vodka, journal jars and various other crafty/home-made things. OH thinks I've gone mad :D

    I'm absolutely shattered today. Lucy played the drama queen all night. Edie finally got sick of her as well and threw her out of the dog bed. Lucy then comes crying to me, wanting to get into bed with us. I don't think so! The trouble with dachshunds is if you give them an inch they'll take the pee-so I threw Lucy back into bed with Edie. She settled down then! The pair of them are snoring like old men (or my OH :rotfl:) tonight.

    So what moneysaving have I done today? Absolutely none, unless you count the three fish on Littlewoods bingo and the £10 note which I couldn't get rid of so I stuck it in my sealed pot! I did buy a £2.50 wreath for the door and some lametta for the tree. Last year I made a wreath from the ivy in the garden. I thought it looked really cool but OH gave me the impression that she wasn't impressed :rolleyes:

    All the pressies are wrapped and are being sent off, in dribs and drabs. It's costing a blooming fortune, but it can't be helped as I couldn't get down south to distribute them as I planned. Next year they're all getting tokens!

    Must pay catalogue tomorrow and FINISH SOCK MONKEYS!
