    Angela...........withdrawal symptoms started setting in so had to grab a few ''disposable'' coffee cups from service station that were quite pretty........one has coffee cups on and now holds a rolled up brown flannel and sort of brown/cream soap..............lol

    abdonz - snow ??:eek: How far up north are you ? Think we picked the right weekend for scotland........colder now than it was then.
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    I got my Amazon voucher at last today, I had contacted Dooyoo yesterday asking where it was, so it meant I could order OH's Sat Nav this morning. He has given me a list of dvds he wants but I have already bought him an expnesive box set and now the Sat Nav so dont know how many more dvds I can afford to get but will try. Must get some more bits for youngest daughter though as she doesnt have much.

    I have finished four of my place mats, run out of the red fabric so need to get another fq but it will have to wait until next week as no money left. Here's a pic of three of them which I tried on the table to see how they looked.

    Thats about all the crafting done now for Christmas, just need to attach the clasps to the bracelets when they arrive and finish off the other 4 of these then I dont know what I will be doing next lol. Might make some more of those dolls while I have the fabric left over.

    I guess the sat nav is the surprise, hence the list of dvds...... bit lethal if i ask miss hoodie to do her amazon list, flavour of the month at the mo is jedward.......

    those placemats are brilliant. xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Lol if it helps the weather isn't fantastic here at the the moment. Can see blue sky but clouds keep creeping over and the odd shower. Seen two rainbows so far today mind. Hope you're having a fab time though, regardless of the weather!

    Feeling VERY Chrsitmassy - just reading the most recent posts on the Chrsitmas rituals thread! I want to put Christmas music on!!!!!!! lol Might turn on that app on my phone when I'm next alone in the office! lol

    LOL she thrashed him five times in a row! He's given up and took the dog a walk.

    It's just showers but when they come, they are very heavy, so we're staying in the complex today! I have a feeling I might have to spend my £10 in the amusement arcade later.

    No bargains for me on Grabbit -will check back later!

    Lol what were they playing?!?!

    I'm a bit annoyed - my hotmail email account isn't accessible (some sort of maintenance on one of their servers - been going on a long time now!!) and I wanted to get to the details of my Amazon vouchers to do some pressie buying today!! (decided to spend the vouchers I already have and buy some bits now while they're at good prices and buy the other bits when my Greasypalm vouchers HOPEFULLY come through!). Scuppered that idea though Hotmail did. Boooo.
