    Hello all :j

    You do seem a busy lot............all these surveys and things......don't know how you do it all.................that and housework:rotfl:

    I've been colouring some cute little images sent me .......tried my water colours and they've come out really well..........least I think so....and then the postman brought my freebie fabric samples.......John Lewis ones from off the Freebie Board. Really nice and about A5 size........now wondering what I can do with them..............but I'll think of something.

    OH started painting the lounge ceiling yesterday (much needed) and says he''ll work his way down the room bit at a time......ceiling then walls, so bit by bit the whole lot will get done........hopefully.

    I actually got around to finishing off little scrapbook of music quotes for eldest son - started it ages ago so about time I think.

    Internet still bit peculiar...........was on site and all of a sudden got 'page cannot be displayed and 'internet cannot connect'.........silly machine:rolleyes:

    Mary - Mine keeps doing the same :(
    Slightly annoying while on a job search ah well needs must

    Sorry Ive been so quiet lately just been busy trying to find a job - considering they advertising constantly and offering huge incentives to train Id of thought it would have been quite easy to get a job apparently not :(

    Thomasland sounds great :) I thought that last Christmas too

    OOOOOOoooooo new Christmas Carol film out this year with Jim Carrey playing Scrooge :D
    Happy happy happy

    I may have watched Home Alone and Home Alone 2 this week :T
    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

    Hi all hope you are all well today

    Julie, some ideas -

    A stall for children to make their own simple jewellery. Or buy them ready made in advance. e.g.

    Removable tattoos - I noticed lots of young children are into this
    Friendship bracelets, elastic beaded bracelets, safety pin bracelets
    Hair ornaments
    Those nylon threads that you weave together - what the name -scoobies? and make keyrings etc

    All supplies could be bought in pound shops very cheaply.

    I know you said not handmade but strictly speaking they aren't ... you could get some plastic champagne flutes and fill with pink sweets, bonbons, them pink foil wrapped ones and as many other pink sweets you can find? sell them for a couple of quid? finish off with a pink ribbon or something?

    Can you do some pots of gold but make them pink? use empty yoghurt pots or something similar to keep costs down?

    Not sure if you have time to make some pink bookmarks?

    Those were brilliant ideas man you guys are good!! Love the idea of pink pots of gold. Perhaps a sign to say that 'pink products proceeds will go towards a special night' might make people buy them to support such a thing. I know I would. Are you doing this stall before fathers day? I know male things go down a total treat and a lot of men are really into pink at the moment so you could be quite unique?

    Sorry I am not much help argh!

    Evening All

    Sorry I've been Awol lately (or should that be longly???). Been so busy with college work and looking for a new house and moving my head is just all in a mess to cut a long story short.

    I really don't know if I'm coming or going. Thanks to mel who gave me a kick up the rear end and reminded me (Told me LOL...to come back) I'm back, well maybe not eveyday at the mo as not got broadband in new house yet, sharing a mobile broadband dongle with 2 kids and OH at mo so very limited as when I can get online. And with all the jobs I have to do.....

    I haven't forgotten any of my lovely friends, I have missed chatting with you all. Hope your all OK..Big hugs to everyone missed you all loads, hope you don't mind be barging back in with my cups of Coffee every 5 mins lol...

    Love

    Sarah

    Where's the Coffee?? Show me the Coffee NOW!!
