Sorry to hear that you had such a carp day yesterday, Rusty – hope today has been better for you.

What a fantastic Halloween Towel Cake Sally, looks really spooky and cant wait to see it with pumpkin lights on.

Rainmac – hope your DS2 is feeling better today.

Great poppy card sunrise27 – bet you are well chuffed to be ‘famous’.

Great post it holders and calendars on your blog Hels. Hope your son has a fab day on the 13th.

Polly sorry to hear about your car. Great card on your blog, love the use of black and white. Really classy.

Fabbie cards on your blog Skiergirl – I love the forever bear one.

smwtyn – I’m very sorry to hear about your granddad.

Mary-op hope your Husband gets on OK at the hospital tomorrow, I bet his pleased for the change of date, so things can be sorted out quicker.

Had to go to london today to sort out some visas for work, so before I went, I made a few cards . They are here on my blog.

Just need to crack on and make the other 23 I need before Christmas.

Off to Ikea tonight with a friend, to see how many vouchers we can get for our books - don't suppose it will be as many as you Rusty!

:rotfl: you think my £40 of vouchers was bad ... we had to go that way yesterday to drop OH's car off ... but I refused to go that way without coming home to grab some books .... another £10 in vouchers for me ... I am hoping I can get my car back fast so I can keep going til the offer stops .... we saw a lovely little extendable bed for DD and it will be about £130 for that and the matress so any vouchers I can get will make that an awful lot cheaper :j good luck


I have placed a little order at the glitter pot for a lovely little idea I have seen somewhere!! (can't remember where!) so hopefully that will come soon!

Today has been as carp as yesterday! I woke up to HEAVY rain!!!!!! :mad: had to fight my way in the garage to get DD's big pram out so she could be kept dry with her bubble and also so I had something sturdy to help me walk! ... I got DS to school on time, then walked to work did the cleaning then had to go to morrisons to do an essentials shop (thought I would be fine doing it rather than paying for delivery!) how wrong was I! ... 1 heavy pushchair woth 8 bags tied to the handle , one grotty screaming miserable because she is in a bubble DD later, I phoned OH to ask for a number for a taxi company as I was in so much pain rang the taxi company and no taxis for 30 mins! :mad: so I set off walking home ... I stopped in local shop to replenish my dirty smoking habit ... got home dried off and then had an hour before I had to pick up DS from school, enough time to dry clothes on radiatiors! .... went to leave for the school and realised I had managed to lose my dirty smokable things!!! :mad: walked up the road to get DS and there they were in a nice muddy puddle :rotfl:

So as you can see my week is going from bad to worse!!!


Apologys to The-Wife, I haven't forgotten your swing card, I am afraid I haven't even started it yet!! I just can't find the time for much at the minute but I promise to try and get it out to you this week

Apologys to cgcockcroft same as above for my stash not had chance to sort it out or post it I am afraid!

Npsmama - I have tried to PM you several times for your address for the ATC swap. can you please send it to me.

I have been really, really naughty this morning and treated myself to some fab new things from Crafts U Love not because I need them but because I want them. So soon to be arriving I have a 2" scallop circle punch, a flower punch that punches different sizes in one go, an inverted corner rounder, some Bazzill card, Bloom and Grow 6x6 paper pad and some Halloween paper to give a Halloween card/container a go. I have had such a carp week with poorly children, the sleep deprivation elves came out in sympathy with me today and made me click 'Proceed to Checkout'. Hopefully from ordering today it will arrive before Saturday when OH will be here to say 'what have YOU been ordering now!!!'.

I am trying to make some of fiddle farts peg magnet thingies whilst looking after poorly DS2. Think I should wait til tonight so I can concentrate on what I'm doing

Hugs to everyone :grouphug:

well done you for treating yourself, you deserve it after being ill and having ill kiddies to look after as well

Those peg magnets look so sweet, I am going to have a go at those too, as soon as I get some magnets, and some pegs!! I am thinking maybe poundland or home bargains? I dont peg my washing out so dont actually own pegs of any sort :rotfl:

Choccy, do you mean so you can layer the two? I recently bought a 2.5" Woodware circle punch from Happy Daze Looks fab together and so much better than me trying to cut a circle with scissors

Choccy I too have a 3" scallop circle punch. I bought the 3 inch reg circle and the 3.5 inch scallop circle from Happy daze too.... used them here
The postage was free tho the postage paid on the box was 7.00!! so worth it i think!

Rainmac Thanks for info on chipboard book- only austraila papers i could find were from this site but were 12 by 12. Donno it i could get image in 8 by 8. Plus I dont know if ill have it done before she leaves:rolleyes:

Kim - some of those papers look like they could be very easily used for 'inspiration' with google images, word and wordle
