    Eee I am terrible!! ... It is like I am scared to use them, especially as there is only 2 sheets the same ... heaven forbid I use both sheets and can't afford to pay nearly £20 for another pad :rotfl:

    Heaven forbid anyone has DCWV papers at the NEC I will want them all :eek:


    Skiergirl - I also paid £8 for a parking ticket and no one was there to check it! I am tempted to not buy one this year and if I get stopped I will pay it on the gate or something.

    Craftyjuju :D see you Fri. Will email tonight with updated times and stuff :) Sorry to hear about your lino, but you did say you wanted a new one ;) .... are you sure you didn't tip the paint onto the lino?

    same thing happened to me with the parking ticket last year! I am going to leave it until the end to buy one this time, as if theres no one to buy one off what do they expect you to do!

    Rusty - Well Done on your ribbon win! Yes, I like those papers my fave is the same as Padster with the birds on a wire. I didn't realise at first they were notebooks, just thought I was admiring new papers!!:o

    Gemma - I'm another one who doesn't like using my 'good' papers but there's a limit to how many I need to keep to stroke.:D

    Rainmac & AliB - I'm not keen on housework - I've no children to be untidy - perhaps it's just as well 'cos DH & I are both untidy (mostly books & paperwork), though I do try to keep downstairs presentable.

    Mary Op - LOL at your DH sorting his CD's, that's the sort of thing I'd do - (see tidyness above)

    CraftyJuJu - Can you claim on your insurance?

    Anyone looking for bunny ears if you can get to a card warehouse they might have them in there! I know they usually have things like that in there around this time.

    I have 2 pairs but will need 1 myself and the other bunbun has claimed!!
    I now have a couple of things on my list, but I know how expensive these are so if I do find any then I just know I will have no money within an hour :rotfl:
    I also have another passenger :j Craftyjuju is joining us aswell, seemed silly that she would drive down herself when I pretty much pass and had a spare seat :D

    Can I have honset opinions on these please? (some of them are glittered papers but you can't tell from the pads)

    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES¬!!!!! I am soooo glad you can make it :j ... not sure which way? lol I just get on the road and go the way Tomtom tells me to. I did a map on bing and put in everyones addresses and it gave me rough times on how long it would take. I can pick you up from your house if you want me to? It honestly isn't putting me out any as I am picking all the other girls up from their doors aswell :j

    Hi everyone, well still havent finished my housework - am seriously contemplating a cleaner & feel I can justify this 'cos I work the grand sum of 17 hours a week - ahem!! Hubby doesnt agree though - I would love to be the type of person who's house is always tidy and doesnt have to apologise for the mess if people turn up unexpected:o

    mel - I've popped a pic on my blog of my stash - (no your not selfish!!)
    Rainmac & DS1 - congrats & a big well done!! (your new stamp is gorgeous!!)
    Rusty - your note pads are great and the papers are lovely - my favourite is the bird one as well.
    Gemm - I agree I dont like to use my new papers either!!

    Off to catch up on some tv now and there is a cup of coffee and a slice of ginger cake (not hm though!) with my name on:)
