PONR Where abouts in the states are you thinking of going? Or have you just used up all your stash from the last time

LMAO!!!! It will be California again. I have loads of stash so won't be buying much of that whilst there!!! I may do some fimo creations there though as the polymer clay is cheaper there.

My OH is there so I will stay with him :cool:

I think I'd be booking my ticket as we speak - summer in California or summer in UK... . And I challenge you to come back stash free

LOL - the trick is to stay out of Michaels and Joanne Stores!!!! There really isn't that much I need so apart from the odd MS punch or some nice papers and fimo I reckon I could manage it!!!! The fimo should keep me busy so I won't need to go out and shop lol - hopefully!!:rotfl:

Lei - Congrats on your promotion, when you get a pay review next year can it be backdated?

Don't know yet but i'm hoping that if i've proved I can do the job I can be cheeky and ask for more money next year

You're all being so good with your stash ban - I know I should really join you but there's a few bits I want...

lei congratulations on your promotion well done on your card sale, it was gorgeous thank you for the robo files, it is our wedding anniversary soon so may try the heart box

Glad you like the files - me & OH will have been together 2 years next week so I'm giving him the shaker box & a matching card (let me know if you want a copy of the template to make the card).

Flourgirl sounds like you had a great time and the Doncaster show and got a bargain with your C&C goodybag.

PONR lucky you getting to go back to America again! Does your OH actually live out there or just work? Aren't you tempted to move permanently? I would be lol!

Had great news today from my best friend who's just got back from Thailand where her boyfriend proposed to her They aren't going to get married for 3 years yet but she's asked me to be a brides maid and wants me to make all her invites.

He is living there at the moment temporarily on a work project but unsure how long it will go on. He is also looking for other jobs out there! Tbh I prefer here to the US. It is not so easy to live day to day life there. You need a car and public transport is dire!!! Customer Service is lousy also!! We don't realise how good we have it here!!!

Congrats on winning with your wedding card - it was a beautiful card so well deserved.

Morning all,

Ooh ponr, what a nice Idea to fly out there for a bit longer! I say go for it if you can afford it!

Just wanted to update my elzybells order, orders are currently taking unto 2 weeks to process, I contacted them yesterday as I ordered on the 7th and hadn't heard anything, so 12 days for me today! I am sure they will be fine if anyone else is still waiting. She said she has been working round the clock with little sleep to try and get orders out!

Gemm - had a mosey at your shop earlier, some beautiful makes on there, love them all!

Hope everyone is ok? I've had just under 3 hours sleep cause my stupid legs were playing up so ended up reading up about nintendo dsi xls! As we are struggling for a big present for ds! Does anyone have one? Are they any good? He currently had a red ds and has had that for nearly 2 years so not sure wether to upgrade that or do something different?

Ali - sorry my va-va-voom soon left and hasn't returned - so if it comes back I'm keeping it!!!

Flourgirl - sounds like you had a fantastic time!!!

Bunbun - sorry I can't help - I haven't got that stamps. I do find though that some stamps stamp better than others.

Mumoffour77 - Its good to hear from you - I hope your DD recovers soon - poor thing.

Hassy - well done on your restraint!!! Its a shame Lindsey was sick.

Pointofnoreturn - congratulations on your win! I think if I was you I'd be on that plane!

Rusty - I've got the dsi xl and I really love it! The screen is so much bigger! My kids love playing on it because you can take pics and then mess about with them. There's also a voice changing section which they find hilarious where you can record your voice and then play it back in different styles.

Hi Melissa,

Thankyou, I am very tempted, looks like Amazon is the cheapest as you get the case and accesory pack, the DSI XL, a game choice and then a free game for £10 cheaper than the likes of Game. Not sure wether to trade in his DS or not? will have to have a think. Does it play the normal DS lite games?
