Good girl! Do you not fancy doing your pictures into a scrapbook style album? It's more fun than just sticking photos into an album and nicer to look at and, if you're like me, you can add in bits of napkin, leaflet etc that you collected whilst you were away! Also, once you get a job and can afford to spend a little extra on silly things you can buy fab embellishments (stickers and what not) to add to the pages! I want to go to Vegas purely for the scrapbooking goodies I could use!

Thats what i do! Not officially scrapbooking because i dont have like backgrounds or stickers and stuff like that (how cool would that be though?!). But i have a scrapbook style album and keep everything from tickets, boarding passes, cocktail stirrers, you name it!

You NEED to go Vegas. Everyone needs to go at least once! My OH is desperate to go back again in September (we went last Sept for his bday) so if i get a job soon, maybe that'll be my challenge

Cinny, i cant think of enough things for a list, whats on yours?
Mines so boring, which is the exact opposite purpose! Haha!

Just redeemed my points for another £15 Love2shop voucher from Toluna. That brings my total to £45 since i rejoined! Still havent recieved any of them though, but thats ok, i will either sell them when i get them or use them to buy presents, so no rush.

If anyone would like a referral let me know :A

Oooh, I like to see fellow scrappers! I use the fancy papers and bits which was costing a lot but I've not bought anything for ages, need to use up what I've got in! I'd like to see your album!

I really want to go to Vegas, we'll go in the next few years I reckon, we've got 3 years before babies are planned to come along so it'll be before then!

Aye vegas is on my hit list too, but NIM has already been and he's a pain when you take him somewhere he's been before - so blaz ! and just 'meh, seen it done it'. So he needs to learn to look at the world with childish wonder before I take him!

Dinah93

Hmmm, that should read blaze with an accent on the e, but mse thinks accents are swears it seems!

I really want to go to Vegas! Another 2 years and I've promised OH we'll go. My Sister wants us to go to New York for my 21st though so it might be a costly year!

Lulu - I think I'm going to put a book to read on the list, and a couple days out. I promised my Mum a trip to some Stately homes & Chatsworth Gardens and OH a trip to the seaside! Plus I want a couple days with my Grandparents while my Great Aunt is visiting. What's on yours?

As for the Toluna vouchers I redeemed one last year in late July and I got it at the start of Dec! :eek: Did come from France though, so had a funky looking stamp!

There is no way on earth that he could've seen everything in Vegas! I was there for two weeks and only done a fraction of the things i wanted to do! We want to go for longer then two weeks next time! Im taking an empty suitcase i swear! They had this discount type (cant think of the proper name) place, and there was a Disney shop. Bought the kids soooo much, but it was so cheap!

Lol my scrapbook (still think i should call it an album, its not fancy enough to be a scrapbook!) will be shocking compared to yours by the sounds of things! Lots of pritt stick and marker pens :rotfl:

I'm sure it's lovely Lulu!

I've decided that I'm going to do some spare room clearing tonight, it's a right jumble as we had our old bed and tv stand in there for ages so things just got thrown in and we couldn't really move around to tidy it. The furniture is gone now (I was nice and donated it to a colleague's daughter who's just broken up with her BF and is living in a hostel with her 5 kids!) so I can actually sort it out. Maybe if I give myself 1 hour and see how I go... I really want to make room in my craft area so I can get to work again. I'm starting to feel the tingle of inspiration! I'm going to a papercraft fair with MIL next week (bless her she's all excited, she actually sent me a text saying 'Yippee!') so if I smile sweetly at her I may get some treats. I'm going with a strict list of things I want and have a small budget to stick to and I will not be tempted by fancy things I'll never actually use once I get home! She says....

I did my room last week, didnt think it was that bad, but it took ages and i threw out at least 3 bins bags of rubbish (not actual rubbish - it wasnt anything trampy!). Feels so much better when everything is in order.

Lol just be pleased you're allowed it as a craft room, my OH would've pinched it as a games room or something similar!

I only have one thing on my list still, but im sure i'll think of more!

On Dooyoo, does anyone get really scared when DavidButtery comments on their reviews?! With his Typo Corner!? Lol he's commented on a few of mine, nothing about punctuation but i still get worried! Someone commented on my last review that i'd ruined the title by putting an apostrophe in the wrong place! :eek:

Lara44

LOL he's only ever praised my biscuits!

What are you all getting for your Mums? I am running out of inspiration and off to uni in Lancaster tomorrow
