ohh a Pink atg... stop it Gemma... you already have a yellow one...still it might be handy to have 2... for when exactly? maybe I will see if i've got any spending money left at the end of my hol (unlikely at this rate!) keep the bargainous posts coming! Think my OH will get slightly annoyed at me wanting to spend the entire time in Micheals and Joanns though :rotfl: I'd be quite happy there, he can go off and see Vegas and just leave me be

The pink one seems to just take 6mm tape which is great for me and it came with 2 reels of tape which the UK ones don't although I might be wrong.

PONR - I'm loving all the shopping trips even though I don't know what some of the stuff is that you tell us about:rotfl: Maybe you could leave all your clothes over there for OH to bring back for you? (or not, as it'll be winter when you get back here)

I wish - he is not from the UK and has never been there lol!!! A pair of my shoes have broken since I got here so that's one thing that won't be coming back lol and I was a little underweight with my bag coming out. Most of it will go in my hand baggage though and I will buy a rucksack to hold the Cuttlebug without it's box!

where did last week go:eek: I got back to school and Luke's birthday out of the way and last week still disappeared. I am now determined to get back on track. I have at last put a card on my blog:j and I am going to go on a blog hop to catch up
craft fairy your hair slides are really cute:T i have entered your latest challenge
I dragged OH to a local garden centre today which is a docrafts stockist and bought the Christmas goody bag. they have started selling promarkers but at £1.99 a pen I resisted:eek:
I think I might stamp some Christmas images to colour in this evening and make a start on my Christmas cards.

craft fairies - for some reason when you said you were making hair clips I expected the metal ones - have you tried them? I bet they'd look good, you might need these types of clips though. If you made some, I'd buy them. :j
