Right bed time... only 3 flights due in tonight 2am 3-40am and 5am !!!!! Oh the joys of living at the end of the runway. Think I will close all the windows then we might get a full nights sleep, trouble is the lights light up the bedroom

Hope you all sleep well xxx

I have spent ages trying to sort out my blog - those stupid TCBOTB people have had their site down for most of the day - so after creating panic with everyone they then ditched us!!! I have found another background at shabbyblogs.com and spent ages changing my background and text colour to match!!! I would have liked a 3 column one but have no idea how to change my template to make that work!!

I have been very unmotivated today - wanted to make some cards but had no inspiration whatsoever!!! Will try tomorrow instead!

For anyone on FB, Mo Manning has put up a freebie for her fans. Don't think I am supposed to put up the link so if you go to her FB page you will see it there.

rainmac Thanks for the advice. He does love the countryside so I'll take him for a drive the next time and get him to talk. I think it's his work that's getting him down but I'll keep trying. Thanks for sending me the book - I'll look out for the postie. I second your renting of craftygranny's OH out - when I show OH craft stuff he just looks at me funny and says "Is this a curtain conversation?" In other words "nod politely and say it's lovely"

dtb - ouch hope your eyes are better today

craftygranny Do you know anyone who has access to warehouse cards. I got mine through my work - do you know anyone who could maybe do the same. I have Makro one and can get access to a Booker one and I order all the stationery for my work - what kinda things are you looking for?

Giggle I thought you'd sat your bike test - talking on which how's the new bike anyway?

Congratulations Ali :T:T

PONR You can't change to a 3 column template through Blogger, they don't do one. But there are ways to do it, I found that out yesterday when I was searching for new backgrounds for me. It actually took me ages to work out what a 3 column one was , almost kicked myself when I realised :rotfl: . If you google "3 column template" you'll get lots of sites up but this one was recommended on the site where I got my background from. I haven't tried it as I'm quite happy to leave mine as a 2 column one.

Hope you get some inspiration tomorrow. I haven't been able to get to my craft desk today, everything had piled up at home and I was on a major catch up plus we had our first dry day for almost 2 weeks so I had to tidy the garden up too.

Giggle - thought your OH had just bought you a bike? I presumed you were already a biker! I am so jealous as it is something I always wanted to do, both my mum and Dad are bikers, although Dad has a quad over in Bulgaria now! Mum still has hers though!

Yes he did get me a bike i just havent passed my test yet lol
I just have had to much going on but i must pull my finger out and get on with it no point having a bike just to look at

Oh I bought my stash of DST today .... 10 rolls ! 99p a roll which is cheapest I have found of the stuff I like as at the glitterpot it is £1.99 but I had forgotten that I had already bought a pack of 4 rolls of 1inch stuff from £land!! ..... by golly that stuff is sticky :rotfl:

just adding my 2 cents - have you ever thought about getting an ATG gun? I LOVE mine and can't believe how I ever did without it, it makes everythhing so much quicker and I only ever have to use DST now for really small stuff.

CT I think Gemm uses that, I had forgotten about that one

I dont have any glimmer mist but I think I've mentioned it before as I'd love some maybe when i'm off my stash diet!!

if I want to add a shimmery sheen to a project at the moment, I use my mica powders mixed with water in little spritzer bottles

off to ironbridge in a bit, so excited!! it's our 5 year wedding anniversary today too, I nearly forgot to make a card so got up early and did it this morning, not one of my best efforts but OH doesnt mind lol have a good day everyone, it's a bit grey here but forecase to brighten up a bit later!
