Marg - that sounds horrid!!!

Rainmac - thanks!! Its so hard knowing what the best thing to do for your kids - especially with Leo as he has learning difficulties. I think me and OH will talk through our options this weekend. Your card is gorgeous - such pretty colours!!!

Lei there were cashpoints in the NEC last time but they all charged for withdrawals, I was running round trying tofind one that didn't! Are you coming on the train? As there might be some that don't charge in the station when u arrive? Xx

Ah that's good to knwo thank you! I'm coming on the train & bringing some cash but thought i'd better check incase I got in there and decided to buy a Craft Robo or something then didn't have enough lol x

Lei - Last year I forgot to take any cash, I paid for most things by card, including orders between 4 of us and the girls paid me in cash so I had a little bit, most of the stalls do have card facilities!

Oh god no that's lethat! Especially as my new credit card will have arrived by then ... x

JHB I agree with the others, tell your daughter to take the cards out your box, it is a bit of a cheek in my opinion

Mad-Frog, I noticed you asked about the letters I used on my latest baby card. I cut them out on mu Cuttlebug with the Quickutz Banana Split alphabet. Let me know if you want any doing and I can pop them in the post for you x

Freebie bunny and footy boy - here there's also a good selection of bears and bunnies there I've been getting a lot of digis from there as the lines are a bit thicker to hide my dodgy colouring . Princess - if you can't find what you need anywhere give me a shout I have a small collection of bunnies and a smaller collection of bears

Thanks for the good wishes about MIL - no news as yet today so hopefully no news is good news .

Off to have tea and a large slice of victoria sponge with icing and marshmallows on top - think I could get to like this barter system

Twinkle I have sorted your parcel out and will post it tomorrow, so don't buy any pens yet until you try these

Lei-Armstrong Thats very kind of you but I fear the spendy elfs are here and making me buy all sorts of things

JHB I would try that toffee vodka if I were you

Have made two cards today, and managed to visit my friend and do some food shopping, not managed to do any housework though, looks like that will have to wait until Sunday, am off to make tea

Rusty - glad your feeling better today, and that DD was able to go to nursery. Just those few hours on your own will make a huge difference.x

JHB - I can't believe that your box was thrown away (it's not like it was just any old box), I would be so mad.:mad: Perhaps the 60p cards could accidently find their way into an alternative box - one that's normally round and full of other pieces of paper!! or is that just too mean:D It seems that the person responsible obviously thinks it's an accepted practice to dispose of other peoples creations/belongings.

Sammr - lovely card, have left a link for you on your blog so you can enter it into a challenge. x

I've been blog hopping and left comments, also discovered that I wasn't following CraftyGranny, so am now offically stalking you.

Jailhousebabe I cannot believe the blatant cheek to throw away that beautiful box you made and put all the cards into one! I would make another one, then get your daughter to put your cards in it with a note saying please don`t move this box(and don`t add any cards to it!)

Here's my challenge entry, I followed sketch B but haven't included an easter egg because I couldn't work it onto the card without it looking odd, sorry

Beautiful card Rainmac:T The new Basic Grey papers are fabulous

Lots to think about. Another of my friends has a gorgeous little girl with Downs Syndrome, she's 2 and due to start school next year. My friend is panic striken about her being forced to go to a mainstream school and not being able to cope. The little girl is one of my DS2's friends and she is fabulous, she knows loads of words in sign language and has a wonderful laugh.

Rainmac - I think often kids are much more resiliant than we are, I hope your friend sorts things out soon.

Hubby is away on a course for 3 days boo hoo but it meant i had time to russell up 2 cards for the challenge inbetween feeding both the boys. Both are asleep so i am off to have a coffee and some of my mothers day chocs.

I have blogged my entry. I couldn't decide which layout to do so i did both. Craft room looks like a bomb has hit it now though, Why can't i stay tidy?oh well i will leave it for tomorrow now.
