    CT - That is the good side of camping we were near the play area and didnt see them - they made good friends and it was nice because they all got on really nice - no little nasties !!

    rainmac - I know a vicar - good grief - marg posted a link for some great cartoons so I think it will be a case of copying one of those and matting it on to a card. Apparently he has a good sense of humour pops in my mums who lives next door but one for a cuppa and a natter - he is single. Oh its come to me I have some little cups and biscuits and tea pots - I could do something like off fiddle fart with the squares and put ...wait for it.... 'more tea vicar!!' lol - very lame I know!!

    ali that sounds like a fab idea! :T

    Thanks for the lovely comments about the birdie cards, it's funny cos I usually have to ask my OH what he thinks but he really liked them without me having to say.

    Ali, that is definitely the branch from the SU bird punch but I am committed to buy my SU every month so I did slightly drop out of my stash diet just for that and I'm glad I did. It's a cute little punch and I swapped the colours around to give the bird a bit of definition. The last four are going to be almost the same but a different colour as I've got more spotty paper to use up
    :whistle: Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the ground each morning the devil says, "OH CARP, SHE'S UP"! :whistle:

    Not sure if i should be offended or not but i went the hairdressers this afternoon. Second time in about three months having not been for about 25 to 30 years previously i always had one do it at home. When i got back carly stared at me for about 3 mins then jumped on my lap. She then leaned forward and stroked my hair saying nice . Then cackled like an old witch and shouted grandad it's purple then fell about laughing. not just once either. Kobie won't come anywhere near unless i offer him chocolate lol.

    Princess Kaitlyn has been watching jodi the hairdresser and decided last week that she's going to have her's washed , blow dryed and straightened so she's having her normal cut next week then we've booked her in for the day of her birthday in sept for a trim and all the other stuff she wants and the girl who started up the nail bar there a few weeks ago has offered to shine and polish her nails as she always goes and stands next to her watching and chatting about what she's doing. Think we'll have a very happy princess the day before her party.

    Rusty fab news for your oh hope it goes well as a bargaining tool too.

    Flourgirl sounds like an expensive trip with willow but they are worth it . The prices are outrageous aren't they We paid £35 in clarks for a pair of school shoes for princess k her mum nearly had a fit. Then she got 6 school shirts 3 pairs of trousers 2 skirts 1 pinafore dress then socks tights and undies. Still got jumpers/ cardigans , book and pe bags and a coat to get but we can only order through school and she was too late to order when she won her appeal so we'll have to do that first day back so it'll be a couple of plain ones till then.

    If i went out and spent that much on myself i'd feel guilty but my oh was happily loading up the bags for her. lol. Wish i made school clothes for a living i'd be rich.lol.


    The wife i love that punch i'll have to check for a seller in my area i think.

    Ok don;t be shocked but.........

    I've made a card

    Sadly, I haven't remembered to charge up the cmera batteries and am away for a couple of days to Wales so you're just gonne have to take my word for it but it's red, black and white with a gorjuss girl on.

    Hopefully I'll bring my mojo back from my trip and will be able to get going again.

    Better do some packing I suppoe

    Keep up the good work girls - I do always pop by to read even if I don't have anything to post and you're all great inspiration for us mojo-less ones!

    DTB - hope your mojo returns soon. Enjoy Wales.

    If your not on again before Friday, hope you have a lovely Birthday xx
    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.
    It is also time to save - Aim £4,000 - So far this year - £230/£4,000

    I have just finished my first ever stamp. I was a lot harder than I imagined!! I found doing the skin really hard. I found the light not great and kept getting shadows so I will try tomorrow in daylight.

    Away to order some more Promarkers as I would like some brighter ones.

    I think this could be addictive:D

    You can have a look on my blog and I am happy for you to leave criticism! (constructive please;))
