Rusty No problemo re pm.. x Glad Maddison seems ok and you got some great bargains from Ikea.. well done..

Bought the Cardmaking and papercraft mag yesterday, yep, those mme papers are lovely.. I also picked up Quick cards made easy cos that had some lovely stamps free with it, also got docrafts mag that had a free stamp with it..
The other mag that was mentioned on the thread by Kms Papercraft Inspirations that had shaped cards with it, a cat and house and another something I can't remember, had a free pen with it exclusively at Sainsbury's and there were a few colours to choose from.. I refrained from buying that mag tho cos I thought I had bought enough and I was not supposed to be spending on any stash.. although I had it on good authority by Wannab that buying mags was ok.. but I didn't want to push it...

Good evening! Almost bed time.......I've had a manic day, including a lovely shopping/chatting afternoon with my oldest friends and I came home buzzing. Then I had a computer crash.:eek: It came back on OK but with potential to go again so may go AWOL......hope not!

I think I've caught up on here and sadly may forget to say something but please don't take it personally just a bit of overload here.

Melissa - I'm sorry to hear about your OH grandad. I love the way Rusty's told her children about the stars.

Rusty - glad Maddison seems OK after her fall. What a shock!((Hugs)) for you both.

Padster - sorry you've been poorly, what a b****r that you've had to work more hours to catch up! Hope you feel better.

Dragonllew - sorry to hear about your DH & hope all the tests come back OK and it was as the GP said 'just one of those things'. My friend's DH once did that at the beginning of a 4 hour flight & frightened us all rigid!

Re Elzibells - I ordered last Monday morning 5/7 and my stamps were here when I got back tonight. HTH (they do smell rubbery and I need to find out how to stick them to my acylic blocks but look very good)

Craftygranny - will look for the info re SOS I'm sure I've still got it but just need to find where!. Also, if as others have said if you need cards for Carly please shout.

Wifey - that's where all the 'acard4u' copics went then!:rotfl:

Hassy - you are welcome to come & sort my paperwork if you get withdrawal symptoms when you've done yours. :rotfl:

Bunbun - Are your boys going to be on SOP on Sunday? Or have I got it wrong?

OAP - Is that your boxes & cards on crafty ribbons? Really fabulous makes!

OOOOhhh rusty i hope my ikea has some bargains i need to go tomorrow afternoon to get some more glass tea light holders i didn't buy enough .

Melissa i'm with rusty on how to tell the kids my grandchildren talk about my mum all the time and she's been gone 5 years at xmas and they all know she's a star shining brightly at night and looking after them. my eldest grandson thomas talks about her and his mums grandma and grandad who died in the last couple of years all the time. Josh who's 8 made me laugh though he kept looking up at the sky worried and when i asked him why he said does all of you go up in the sky and i said no just all your spirit and things that make you who you are . Your body which is what you use down here they either bury that or cremate it. He gave a huge sigh then said thank god for that there are so many stars i was worried someone would fall on my head when i was out. lol.

My boys arrived home safely tonight thank goodness. We're a bit worried at the moment though Alicia has been complaining of pains in her legs during the day for a while but they have been coming at night too and she's waking up screaming. Her mum rang tonight and said the doctor is hoping that she is just low on magnesium and that if they get her levels back up she'll be okay . But she's had to have more tests and we're just praying nothing else shows up.

The wife thank you for your very kind offer . I'm speaking with the lady who organises the fundraising next friday so hopefully i'll know more about what they'd like then.

Princess K went shopping for her uniform today now we know which school she'll be at. Carly will be going to nursery in sept too. I'm driving myself crazy trying to stitch her a monkey for her birthday at the end of the month as she loves animals and admires K's stitched pics so i thought i'd do her her own just wish i'd given myself more time lol. Her mum just ordered her an animal birthday cake from the bakery that wants the folder and my oh nearly choked when she told him it was 75 quid . It is a big one to feed 50 kids at nursey though .

Marg thank you for offering to look for me . I stick my elzybells stamps and others like them on my block with pritt stick style glue or if i lose it then a small strip of dst and remove it as soon as i've finished.

still no little claire's stuff i'm sure the postie is under instructions from the oh not to bring everything at once.lol.

Hassy

Crafty Glad your boys arrived back safe and sound.. Sorry to read that Alicia is having pains in her legs.. hope the tests come back ok for her.. bless x
WOW... £75 for a cake... yikes!!! I am so out of touch with things like that...

Sorry just quoting quickly, I bought some cheap kling on from bay, it says it is seconds which is damaged slightly but mine is perfect and I use it to mount my lili of the valley stamps on it, it's quite cheap swell, I can send the link if you like?
Sorry to hear about Alicia, it could be something silly like restless legs, my DS suffers with them as do I, but it wakes him up screaming sometimes!

Marg hope we don't lose you, if so I have your number so can keep you up to date!

Thanks for all your help yesterday, she is fine today! Be back later to catch up xx

Rusty I am sooo relieved to hear Maddison is ok xx

WBR Glad the hospital managed to put your mind at rest.

Dragonllew Blimey what a shock for you! I hope your DH is ok

Craftygranny I hope its nothing serious with Alicia's legs

Well after Sunday I will join in your stash ban. I am going to the Racecourse to the Create and Craft show with my friend. I only really need to buy 2 things lol I managed to buy the last Cardmaking and Papercraft mag in Smiths yesterday, the free papers are lovely.
