    Oh Rusty, you are so lucky on two counts; having extra money and such a thoughtful OH!

    You mentioned looking for Christmas papers, you've got me googling now! I'm trying to be thrifty and try to find freebies, here's one... http://www.craftycomputerpaper.co.uk/pages.asp?purl=Christmas%20graphiics%20page

    Rusty - this shop is taking pre-orders for the basic grey 6x6 pads. She has the nook and pantry one listed too and says its due out on the 7th Sep, although I'm sure its not coming out that soon. She let me know that if you sign up for their newsletter there's a new one she's sending out on Mon or Tues with a 10% off code on it.

    Hi Popkins I am gonna go on the Friday as it was a great day to go last time (not too busy/mad!). I haven't booked my rail tickets yet but when I last looked I could go from Guildford to the NEC for about £31 but this was arriving just after 11am otherwise to get there earlier wa a lot more!! Would be cheaper to leave later but didn't want to sit for 2 hours at the NEC after the craft hall had closed!! Mind you I did catch the 7pm train last time and the lovely Choccy kept me company til then!! Do let me know if u r planning on catchingthe train/ want to know what I am doing etc etc xxx

    Oooh great - I want to go on the friday too!!! Is that the day for Hels hen do? I can't decide whether to get the train or drive - I might drive actually - I like to be able to decide when I want to get there and when I want to leave!!! I have actually driven to Birmingham once before in June for a hen do and it was surprisingly easy!! Either way we should definitely get the train together or if I do drive then you're more than welcome to come in my car - no probs for me to pick you up from Guildford - we could share petrol - prob work out cheaper - whaddya think? Can anyone post the tesco voucher thingy again please? :D

    Maybe we should start a list going over on CP of who is coming on the Friday? and where from & co-ordinate ourselves so to speak? :D

    I would love to come to the NEC on the Friday but will have to see what I can do about the boys and school. will have to see if Rusty still has a place in her car and what time she is going/coming back!

    :TThanks so much Popkins will be great to have a travel companion and I am happy to split petrol costs or share a seat on the train!!! :beer:
    Let me know what u decide to do but we will have to book train tickets soon I guess to get the cheaper 'advance' type offers.
    Friday is the Hen do too so should be a real laugh!!! :j
    Off to look for Tesco offer for you and may prompt me into doing it at the same time!!:rotfl:
