Ah - mine was from a few yrs ago, it came like a A4 size print, - had one the day you were born, then my mums maiden name - not as common as her married name.
Rack my brains and c if I can think of anywhere else that does them. Sorry it was a false start xx

Don't worry about it! Thanks!

Welcome wonderwife! You and djstar need to pass those babies around!! Yum yum. lol

mary - glad there's a plan for your lad!

rufus - shame about the craft show, but I'm sure you made up for it with the ebay shopping!

Had a mad day in work - how dare they give me things to do when I'd rather be on here or looking up crafty and Christmas things!! tut tut.

People making mince pies already?? Now that's what I call organised.

Rufus - sorry to hear you can't make it to the craft show, but if you've been saving up at least you can treat yourself in the fabric shop!

Mary - hope you have a lovely weekend in Scotland

Did my sponsored dog walk on Sunday, managed to make it round about 5k in my wellies before the heavens opened and my dog had enough! There were lots of people there with their dogs and Dog's Trust bought some of their rescue dogs too so there was a good turnout and lots of money was raised. :T

Not done anything remotely Christmassy as had my Dad and stepmum staying with us for the last few days so been constantly making cups of tea and tidying up! They've gone today though so I can start having a think - plan to do my Christmas cake next weekend and should hopefully have some Amazon vouchers soon that I can buy a few bits and pieces with.

Hope everyone is ok.

hi everyone, just a quick drop in, i`m in york for couple of days. Checking out lakeland and designer outlet

i noticed you saying your laptop screens us djstar, they`re £70 on ebay and so so easy to fit, i done two last week, you only have to unscrew case on screen and a couple of screws on side of screen , unplug a cable and fit a new one. \bargain

well done on the mince pies, i been investigating cup cakes and have decided to make some up to xmas , all different flavour toppings, thxs to you girls on here with the info.

Sorry forgot who it was , did read back but im on my mobile broadband and its sooo slow.

Sorry about your craft fair rufus

In slimming world monday we had a xmas party, dressed up as santa, christmas carols the food, and everything. You had to put a wish on the xmas tree to do with weight. I put, i hope i dont put any weight on, some people wanted to lose a stone:eek:

I`m feeling so chrismassy at the moment and cant wait for decs to go up in shopping centres. And one of my favourite things is driving around looking at everyone decorations:T

Not ''christmassy'' yet.........still in the ''panic mode'' :eek:

Trying to find a nice verse/phrase to put on front page of sons scrapbooks now they're done and having no luck...........think I'm looking too much and can't see the wood for the trees.............lol:rotfl:
And racking my poor overworked brain for what to do with mini-pegs..........:eek: Must be something but can only think of covering a placemat, sticking shopping list on and maybe little calendar and sticking mini-peg up one corner............all very ''maybe'' though and just might not happen otherwise nothing else will get done:eek: see........panic had set in again............oh dear.........quick swig of coffee................tell self to calm down.................lol:rotfl:

Mary - what sort of verse are you looking for? I'll see what I can come up with.

Hi all

My Vistaprint bits came and I am really pleased, none of the photos were of poor quality despite their warnings. Going to order a few more calendars now I hhave seen them and know they print OK.

mary-op

elysia - thanks. I've been looking through the Quote Garden site ........don't want anything too soppy or too family based.....I know they're family tree scrapbooks but our family is a bit scattered so I really was after something a bit 'inspirational' if you know what I mean. Can't find anything to do with Mums and Sons either that isn't too soppy.
Did have a couple I found but when I tried to copy and paste them on here internet went off.........:eek:

Another pressie sorted. Just ordered jeremy clarksons new book for my OH. £5.99 from the book people rrp £20! plus free p&p and cashback too. A must have gift for any top gear enthusiast. Should keep OH busy for a day or too anyway:p

Hi all

I didn't go online yesterday and just been catching up - Elysia I think it was you that mentioned that you had knitted those beads and only used 6 stitches - so I'll try that - thanks.

Legendmum - glad your house is ok after the oven incident amazing what kids get up to.

The only time anything like that happened was when I left ex OH in charge of the kids and took a nap, woke to burning smell and he was in the front room, totally oblivious that anything was happening :mad: Men!!!!

Rufus shame you can't attend that show, I know you were looking forward to it.

mum2one

Pipsmum - glad the calenders turned out ok, always worrying when they say about the photo, can't wait for mine, thou I did the 21 day delievery!!!

Gd news - half way through this assisgnment, intend to finish it tomorrow, then thats another course down. But start another one next week!!

Decided mince pie making on Sat, - and morello cherries (remind myself Aldi) got some baby food jars from the neighbour, so going to decant (very posh word for me!!), and add a slip of vodka or something to give it a kick, ready for food hampers.
