gem i found some free wifi ( in the villa/ hotel) and looked at the emails they sent me and wrote done the bar codes. they were quite understanding in the store and just gave me the discount- i wrote down what each code was for, but it was very long- 20 numbers!

I've caught up on all todays posts but have had a bad headache all day, and can't think properly at mo, so I'll just say well done to Winners and guest DT's.

I'll be thinking of you Ali.

PONR - I hope your parcel arrives safely. I'm sorry you have to stop spending, I've been looking forward to seeing what you've bought each day.

Take care everyone. xxx

Thanks!!! I'd love it if I had a 2 bag allowance but this time I am going to have to be clever with my hand baggage packing instead!!

Glad I haven't bored you with my shopping details- not many people on here seemed to reply or comment whenever I posted so thought I was boring everyone to death!!!

I'm doing some sewing at the moment. Yesterday I bought this cute kit to make 6 Santa cutlery holders. The are like decorated felt pockets with a Santa front and you put them on the table at Christmas with a person's cutery in. Well as my parents are away at Christmas not sure that we will be bothering with Christmas lunch etc but thought that they might be nice to give to my nieces with sweets or chocolate in. I will post some pics when I've done one. I've tried to trace the pattern off as the company that made it have been crafty and printed some of it on the felt and some of it is paper pattern! I thought I might do some more later on as I have lots of felt at home.

Forgot to say congrats to all the winner and people that have got DT's - well done to you all.:T

Blogger's playing up for me :mad: as I've just tried to leave a comment on your latest card, Soma, your Rudolph is brilliant.

thank you, yet another stamp that I hadn't used properly. Maybe I don't deserve to have so many cos I don't give them enough love - but I know I love 'em and can never part from them!

well done to our winners and talented design spot winners

cant beleive the amount of october birthdays!

kms Well done you on going to your slimming club. I used to do WW at got to withing 3 pounds of my ideal weight and have slowly piled it all back on again. I think it's just the initial step of walking in the place. Onwards and downwards - good luck.

ali Hope everythings ok - fingers crossed for you anyway, Hugs

rainmac Your new shaped cards look really good. Congratulations on the will power too, when I bake it doesn't even get time to cool down before it gets demolished never mind last to the next day. mmm ginger cake and custard... yumm

ponr I like the sound of your cutlery holders. I'm not sure if you can post pictures while you're away but if not could you post it when you get back. this sounds like the kind of thing I'd like.

Does anyone have Jellybaby's email address so I can send her her badge, I thought she was on my email list but she's not.

Evening!
I'm having a nice night in by myself tonight as my OH has gone to a gig with friends so I've been using my new LOTV stamps & colouring in. Will hopefully get cards made with them at the weekend. Talking of cards, I have added three to my bl*g tonight!

Ali hope everything goes well at the hospital tomorrow, I'll be thinking about you
Well done to yet more winners :j
Rainmac Hope you have a lovely girly day tomorrow. I bought some of those shaped cards from Craftwork Cards on Saturday in Harrogate (Marg there wasn't many left when I picked mine up so maybe they'd gone by the time you battled your way to the stand! lol). I haven't got around to using them yet, maybe at the weekend.
PONR I am loving hearing about your buys in the US, I'm so jealous! Can't wait to go back across there! I am going to have to wait for a long time yet though as I want a new house so I have to start saving my pennies!
Sorry I've forgotten everything else I've read now!! Hugs to everyone. x

Morning all

Happy Birthday Tom. Rusty - hope he had a good time before school opening cards etc. Glad your feeling a bit better.

Marg - hope you had a good night out with the girls. We are all girls at heart, no matter how old we are!

PONR - stop buying! I'm not sure I heard that right! The cultlery holder sounds really cute.

Right off to get ready. Hope everyone has a good day. Hugs to all. xx
