Gosh only been away a couple of hours & so much been said - where do I start?

Flourgirl - So sorry to hear about your floor water's the very devil isn't it? Have you thought about claiming on your insurance? When our freezer leaked it was a rigmarole 'cos the people who quoted for the floor wouldn't move any of the units which were standing on the floor so we had to have someone else come & inspect for that - think what I'm saying is if you do claim make sure they include that too.

Nannyboo - My heart goes out to you, I know that feeling so well, the joy for your friends tempered with the feeling 'I so wish it was me'. I just hope it does help to know that we are thinking of you and miracles do sometimes happen. (((hugs)))

Rainmac - What else can a bear expect to do on a Monday night in November?

Padster - I'd be fuming too!

Sunrise - think that's a lovely idea for a present.

Rusty - I'll send you some scallops & plain ovals to test.

Thankyou Marg, that is very very kind of you! I wasn't expecting that. The lovely Gemm offered but I refused. I hate asking people for things! its very cheeky!

Rusty - the ovals are quite handy for stamped images which are long and thin, I was using circles or lables one before and kept getting annoyed at the amoutn of empty space at the sides of my images. another thing I want to use them for (but havent had chance yet) is to use the smallest ones for sentiments etc.


would anyone like to adopt 2 gorgeous kittens, free to a good home. they are little angels, really...!

I see what you are saying, I think I have the same kind of problems with my labels, but I have a lovely lily of the valley stamp which Rainmac bought for me so thought that would fit nicely in a labels nesty!

I will swap your 2 kittens for my 2 year old!! ... she is very well behaved ... well if you call her a devil she is well behaved for a devil! you can't have my son though cause he has been horrible for the last few months and I snapped on sunday night and yesterday I had a completely different child at home

ooh i have to share my excitement and naughtiness. The postie just came and bought a parcel from amazon. I opened it up without thinking as i have ordered a few bits from there for hubbys xmas presents and i couldn't believe what was inside it. 1 pack of 5 promarkers skin tones and 1 pack of 12 bright tones :T I looked at the address and they are under hubbys name i didn't even think the parcel would be for him. So i am guessing santa has bought them:D I really can't believe it as i am alway jealous when i read rusty's other half keeps buying her crafty things, mine wouldn't have a clue where to start.
I am so happy and surprised but what do i do? Do i let him know i have opened the parcel or get some parcel tape and close it again. Amazon don't use parcel tape on small packages so he may know i have been in it. Smack my hands i am so naughty for opening it but it really was a mistake.

:eek: I am soooo sorry I didn't even think that I would upset people by telling them about what my OH buys me I didn't even think. I hope I haven't offended you! I am really sorry!
Tell your OH you opened it by mistake and he might let you have them early that is what I did with something last year! lol I did honestly open it by mistake aswell!

Has anyone made new things with their newly purchased stash?

Not me It is still sitting in the bag looking sorry for itself!! I am working all this week on a morning so struggling, however I am about to put DD to bed though so hoping that I can maybe have a go at something this afternoon!!


Flourgirl - Sorry I must have missed the post about your dishwasher!! ... you can have my floor if I can have your dishwasher?? ours is still broken ... but at least the cars are both fixed!!

Popkins - Wow those cards are lovely!! where is the penguin from??

Now I want to buy the greeting farm stamps, but not sure if I should as I am hoping that my order from funky kits will be here this week which means I will have 2 manga girls and a daisy stamp!! :eek: decisions decisions!!

Can anyone tell me where I can buy some elizabeth shaw choccys?? I have just been shopping but couldn't find any??

For those who are wanting mens slipper socks I found some BEER ones in asda for £3


Choccy - There is something I need to tell you ... but everytime I remember what it is I am busy then I forget to tell you again cause I can't remember!!

I think you need to send your OH to do the rounds, we can all borrow him for a bit and he can teach all our OH's to be more like him lol
