fallen angel - while I was 'off line' for several weeks I got my christmas cards all made.......then I thought, well, why not write them.........another job done.:T
There are a few I haven't done yet -sons, grandchildren and MIL though but I like to make those a bit special if you see what I mean

The cheats way tomaking home made cards - (my top tip!!) wait till Jan sales then go to Tescos and get the sticky decorations, buy blank cards bobs ur uncle!!

congrats to everyone who is expecting - that's one challenge I'm deffo not joining in with :rotfl:.

I have knocked one thing that I've had on my to do list for the last 6 months though - tidy the garage :T:T. So today when OH announced we were going looking for floor tiles for the kitchen and then came home with them ripped the old floor up and insisted on starting laying them at 4pm I knew exactly where all the tools were and we had room to mix the glue stuff in the garage as it started raining. wasn't very MSE especially as all the tools were nearly as much as the tiles but they are lovely so far.

Have about 3/4 of them down but had to stop as we are hungry :D.
A tidy garage also means I can shift the eBay stuff out of the spare room and get that organised and tidy as well :j.

PS have got all DD's school uniform - got her shoes from Brantano and managed to get trainers from Soccer Sport for £8 instead of £20.

PPS Congratulations Sugar Spun

paddintgon - don't remind me about tidying garages.........:eek:I'm sure stuff breeds in ours.........seems every two years we have to have a skip to get rid of all the stuff in there. OH said he'd book one this month and get it sorted -even he's fed up with it and I think he put most of it in there on the 'might be useful' excuse.............lol

Just had minor panic and lost int. connection :eek: Oh no ! thought I............not again ! But seems the little 'work offline' box had ticked itself so having sussed that out I'm back...............lost all my favourites in the process.......
Small price to pay for having to take a degree to understand 'user manual'.....................:rotfl::rotfl:
