Oooh sounds like it might be a late one then Mary Wonder if they would mind you taking a craft with you that you can do on your knee ? Well it would keep you occupied

NO wonder physio didn't work for you Rusty - I could only read half that link without shutting my eyes in fear! - I feel such a lightweight just having a saggy shoulder .

Can't remember what else I was going to say - bought my Radley bag today as went to look and they had 20% off so brought it home with my eyes shut and handed it to OH :rotfl:. (Confession I already have 2 plus other b/day pressie is a purse) Also got FIFA 10 in Mr Ts this morning for £24.97 instead of £39.97 was well chuffed.

Have offered to make my friends grandson's birthday card for her and found some fantastic wall stickers in £1 shop - I got jungle ones but there were cars aliens and a couple of others - wish I'd bought some more now - will nip back in on Monday.

Posted a piccy on Crafty Place ATC thread for you to drool over

Evening ladies, gosh cant believe so much has happened in a day - there is loads to catch up on:rotfl:
rainmac - that cake looks lovely, I think even I can do that one!! going to have a go. Slightly off topic so apologies ladies but I also spotted your rocky road recipe I know this is a stupid question - how do you measure 2 tbsp of butter?? Do you melt it first or scrape it off the block to fill a measuring spoon.:o

Sorry about that - right back to card making - lovely things on blogs as always - you all really inspire me - thank you all.
