    but it just won't do - I can't be budged once I've got a hankering for summink I can't rest til I get it by hook or by crook!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:My poor OH what he has to put up to...

    Gemma - its not anything revolutionary or that could help you I'm afraid!!! Its just that my MIL is actually pretty crafty and when I got chatting to her at Christmas she was most intrigued by my tales of the wondrous Cuttlebug!! and well the other day I got to thinking that she really would love one & would use it loads and we didn't actually get her a birthday pressie in December - she told us not to cos she didn't need anything!!! Well I'm thinking and am going to propose to my hubby that we give her my green Cuttlebug as a belated birthday pressie and I get myself a pink one to replace it!!! woop woop!!! all cos I feel sooooooo bad we didn't get her a pressie in the first place!!! :rolleyes: kinda!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Does that sound like a plan or what!!! :j:j:j

    Would you still want a pink one if it didn't have a C plate?

    When my friend's pink CB was delivered I was quite surprised that there was just an A and 2 x B plates. Even the instruction booklet only covered embossing, nothing at all about cutting dies and C plates so it wasn't as though it was missing from the box.

    So if you do buy one, check what's included especially if a C plate is important as they're approx £10 if you have to buy it separately.

    :hello: FROM SNOWLAND!!!

    My first time to pop in and say hello, still here in snowy Canada although today there's been a bit of a thaw.

    Brill news for your mum, rainmac and fab news rusty for the little missy in having dry knickies. I'll catch up fully when I get back.
    :whistle: Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the ground each morning the devil says, "OH CARP, SHE'S UP"! :whistle:
