    How many days would it take Rusty to get from Northumberland to Birmingham on the scooter??? Just done a quick route map on theaa.com and it's approx 440 miles round trip :eek:

    So glad you got one craftygranny :D

    223.9 miles one way, thats including de touring to Bunbuns and then Choccys!! ... so yeah just short of 450 miles in a day :)

    Melissa - I've just come home to the most beautiful swing card I've ever seen. Thank you so very much.

    Yikes Rusty - that's one heck of a bill - can you take passengers on Craftygranny's scooter?

    Rainmac - just a couple of pegs then?!

    Sally - go for it. I've found fairs fun even if not always that lucrative!


    JHB - nice to see you back.

    Marg - sorry about your rubbish morning -as you say tomorrow should be better!
    I've just been invited to a Stampin Up party next week - could be an expensive night! Must be strong....

    I've been to a meeting this morning for DS2's preschool about their Christmas fair and I sort of volunteered to organise getting raffle prizes :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:. The lady that did it last year raised over £1000 and had fantastic prizes such as a brand new Sat Nav. I've told them not to hold their breath for me to do as well ;)

    Rainmac - I don't know if it's any use to you as a prize, but I've just been having a clear-out and found a CCTV system. It's brand new and boxed (cost me a out £20 at Macro a few years back). It's a small camera with a long lead and scart connection, so you'd plug it into a tv and record from there. You can also switch channels on tv to see outside, I think. Anyway, it's yours if you want it (I can take a photo if you want to look at it first) x
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)

    If you are looking to get shot of it, sell it on ebay and use the money to buy some lovely stamps ;) I would feel very cheeky taking something from you when you could make money on it so please do that. Thank you so much for the lovely thought though x

    Craftygranny - a big thank you to you and Kaitlyn for my delicious sweets and crafty place swaps. Your ATC and fat page was fabulous and the sweets didn't last long! I hope you are having fun on your scooter.

    Jailhousebabe - I've entered to win a few times on that woman's blog - I don't know how she can afford to give so much away.

    Dawnteabag - gorgeous layouts - I love those cute birds!

    Rainmac - your pegs are lovely - ignore your OH.

    Rusty - sorry about your bad news.

    Mrs. Tidge - I'm glad that it arrived and that you like it!

    Rusty - I think Stampin Up is American - basically it's like a tupperware party (how old does that make me sound!) with crafty stuff. I think it's quite expensive but hopefully there might be a good deal on offer. It'll be a good chance to maybe meet some like minded peope though.
