Happy Birthday CGCockcroft:bdaycake:

Ali.b - makes perfect sense. I'm toying with ordering still, but am tempted by this offer which allows you to sign up for a 3 month DD which you then cancel after 6 weeks to make sure they don't take another 3 months iyswim. My friend does it all the time, but I have to say I'm a little wary just incase I get stung for the full 12 months. In some ways I'd rather sign up to the one you have because at least I know I like the mag.

I'm still struggling on with party bits and it's bloomin hot here.

Afternoon all, hope everyone is having a good weekend?

Cant remember half of what I have read, but congrats to all of the winners and I am about to head out to blogland now to have a nosey!!

Happy birthday CGCK xxx

Can I join in with the stash ban please? Just for a month, although may take it a week at a time lol ... I was naughty yesterday and picked up just under 300 charms, yes I know I dont need them all but hey they were cute and came in packs of between 30 and 150 pieces :eek: I may well resell some of them in packs of 30 for £1! Then I found some of the beautiful stamps at joanna sheen and ordered 2 of the new house mouse range which I really shouldnt have done :eek: and my hanglar stamps arrived yesterday aswell :j so really need to cut back!

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend xxx

Was hoping to be part of the stash free spending group, but I can't as I have found out that there is a hobbycraft 1/2 an hour away so have just come back from having a splurge - although I haven't spent any money for the last 2 1/2 months so don't feel that guilty. Really happy as managed to get some more Promarkers that they have for 1/2 price at the moment so am now up to about 50, also picked up 1 embossing folder and 3 die cuts for the cuttlebug for £8.00. Hopefully my mojo will return with a vengence.

Does anyone know of any men's cards challenges that are around at the moment, as thought I may be able to enter my ketchup bottle into some?

Will have a play later on making the cards for teachers and assistants, and hopefully make use of the stuff I have just got from hobbycraft.

Will do a blog hop later as well and comment as I go. Hope everyone has a lovely day, the sun is out here so I'm happy xxx

Tomsmom - Where about in Brum were you originally from. My grandparents lived in Sutton Coldfield and my nan in Erdington, I grew up in Solihull until my early 20's.

We lived in Hall Green for quite a few years before moving to Stourbridge. OH lived in Erdington for a while as a child. Our first house when we got married was in Olton and my mom lives in Shirley now.

Thanks Padster. Congrats to the other winners on here too.

I'm not with it today and have forgotten what I've read . I know I forgot to welcome the newbies, sorry so here's a belated hello :hello:.

I'm still struggling with the laptop, keyboard mainly, but it's only for another day or so I hope, so you'll have to forgive me not keeping up.

Hope you all have a nice day, whatever you're doing, and if you're doing it outside I hope the weather's nice for you, it's pretty miserable here.

Hi everyone, can you help me I would like to know if the Papercrafts inspirations Mag subscription that you can get via Tesco Clubcard rewards comes with the free gifts?

In the T&C it says they may not but I wondered if anyone had the subscription this way and knew if they did or how frequently? It's £13 of vouchers for 1 year so about £1.10 a mag. I normally get last months ed. from a man on the local market for £1 but they don't include the gifts and he can't always get every months mag.

You don't get the big subscribers gift, but you get the freebies that come with the magazine each month, if that makes sense?

I'm feeling quite smug this morning - I've managed to get a washload done, I've got the kids lunch boxes sorted already and I've done DS2's homework!! I know it doesn't sound much but with Elliot being grumpy at the minute that's quite a lot for me!!!! Off to m-i-l's soon for dinner!!

CT19720 - its great to hear from you. I love your saucy card - a fab idea - no wonder your friend loved it!!! I also love the thought of it your Dad him scoring a goal every time there's thunder!!!

Ali - lovely card - really classy and stylish!!!

Hassy - bless your OH - I don't think mine realises how much craft stuff costs - I think he'd have a shock if he found out. Mind you I don't complain when he orders a £40 computer game!

TiredMom - chaperoning a load of 15 year olds sounds tough work!!!

Congratulations to our latest batch of winners!!!

CGcockcroft - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Pinkcoke - hi - welcome - sorry I can't help you - I don't get any magazines, I'm sure someone will be along soon who can help.

Bailey - I've got a "big bite" for hole punching - it punches through everything even leather - it's quite expensive though. A cheaper version is the crop-a-dile.
