Ironing! Whereabouts are you girls, I'd be happy to make a crater in your pile, I'm at that stage with the steroids where I'm watching OH take his work clothes off, into the machine overnight, dried, ironed and sitting on his dresser waiting to go away. All for piece of Alice cake, done deal, I'm cheap. I'm daft, there's a local woman here who has a cracking business out here in the backwaters, should I apply for a job, earn a bit extra. My friend at work is coming round tonight and she's got the MS punches from QVC, yippee!

Get your bum round to mine them lady, I'll supply you with as much ironing, tea and Alice cake as you can manage

Margs' receipe does sound yummy. I might have to give it a try..
I love slow cooked lamb I dont think ive ever had a nasty piece of slow cooked lamb. Mind i put mine on high for 5 hours and then low for 3 hours (I do like to make sure things are cooked.... too cooked mostly :rotfl:)

So pleased your bling arrived, i was starting to get worried as i posted it on Tuesday Glad i can post it on my blog now

You certainly can post it, it's gorgeous, as is your card, love the corners!!! Just to warn you, my ATC is understated bling as I really struggled to make something that looked 'blingy'

Aww thank you, I had great fun making the 'bling atc',the card was another matter.. My hand was gold for a day as i couldnt get it off :rotfl:. The corners were made with my new MS punch from QVC . I gave myself a rule making the bling...'' If it shone, it went on'' !! :rotfl:

Im sure yours will be gorgeous.... I do love ALL your crafty stuffs xx

Well OH has just left to go to the football and wont be back until 10 - hopefully I'll get the chance to get some crafting done. Kids are just about to eat then they can get packed off upstairs to watch a dvd. Meanwhile I've going to get into my pjs and make some egg sarnies for my tea!!!!

Flourgirl -thanks for the link - I love the layout - especially the flowers!

Mad-frog - I tried to get the cherry hill paper pad too - but its been out of stock everywhere for months - I ended up getting the 12x12 papers instead!

Sunrise - gorgeous easter cards and box - it'd say charge a little more, maybe £4!

Jailhousebabe - its meant to be a Tim Holtz TSV on craft day on QVC on Tues - so there should be loads of demos of distressing.

Rusty - sounds like a fab day - chips at the beach!! I'll have to start nagging the OH to take us to Southport! Sorry to hear DD is unwell.

Jazabelle - no wonder you spent loads - the stampin up stuff that I've seen looks fab.

Dragonflew - crikey - he was passing out with the pain - what a brave lad!!!! Don't stress about getting my ATC done - I've made yours but I don't know when I'm going to get to the post office.

Ali - thanks so much - my "heart" swap card arrived today and its lovely!!! Hopefully I'll get yours in the post soon.

Mary - take care of yourself lady - sending you big hugs!!!!

Ooh after many hours looking - finally found the original crate paper seller I had seen on Etsy and just ordered it (and the basic grey cherries stamp - thanks rainmac!!). Fingers crossed they arrive safely, I changed my mind though didnt get the robots one but one with little monsters on it.
Alyssa - on your note as well have you all seen the advert for Lidl selling drawers like the ones Gemm pinked up I think for £29.99.
Melissa- phew!

Choccy Thank you so much for the card it arrived today. Kaitlyn heard the postman and went to get it and came back shouting we got a letter from choccy . Obviously she can read your name cos when i asked how she knew she said it's on the back . Didn't know she could read that well.

Dragonllew Sounds painful i hope your little one is soon feeling better

Maryop Hope your feeling better passing out iss no fun .

Melissa Hope you really enjoy your crafting time .
