    I will admit I'm a 40 year old trapped in a 23 year olds body :o lol. To add to the image I've bought some half price really old lady chunky knit socks in Asda tonight, they're more like slippers than socks but they're keeping my feet nice and warm :).

    I'm sure you'll make some nice cards when your kit arrives Maria. It's probably quite a relaxing thing to do too. I've made a few in the past but when my mum moved out she took all of her bits (which I used to nick) with her, so I haven't made any since then.
    Finally bought a home

    My mum has bought that crochet magazine thats been advertised on tv over xmas has anyone been temoted by it? lol

    Ive found tones of great info on crafting now from the massive thread on here, there links to loads of cool gifts to make etc and free downloads. Think im going to get addicted and start spending lots of money!!!

    My OH didnt tell me his card expired in november so i went to withdraw his money on butlins and it wouldnt let me, i went to change his card details and it wont let me as theres money in the account. They said to phone up to change details but i dont want them looking through his account and seeing he hardly plays any games just free scratchie so i tried to get rid of the £10 to empty account then change details but kept winning on hole in the wall scratchie now have £21 :D So his going to have to call them up to change details!
