Thanks Rusty - they may just fall into my basket in a few mins - hopefully they will come on Wednesday when OH is away as I can't just order one thing now can I?

I have 3 categories of paper - 1 for people who don't give a monkeys about cards mostly boys or my mother lol! - 1 medium price for special people - 1 expensive or gorgeous that I'll only use when hell freezes over :rotfl::rotfl:

I'm glad its not just me who's house always looks like a bombs hit it, Mary op you made me laugh with you husband and his cd's we were supposed to be moving the front room round and tidying up and then I came across the baby photos so spent the rest of the afternoon cooing over how little all the kids were.

Going to try and make a start on my spanish themed card later but need to sit and watch New Moon first.

Rusty - well done on using your expensive papers - I haven't heard of them!!

Craftyjuju - hope you feel better soon - sounds like something I'd do spilling paint all over the floor!

Ali - looks like you bought some fab things!!! Love your mouse card - the flower looks fab !

flourgirl do you have a poundland? I got mine from there

We do have a poundland, but its right in the town centre so it easier to go to Sainsburys. Thanks for the info though

Ooops bad bear - have just opened the door and thrown the spendy elves back out and locked it behind them :rotfl:.
Why doesn't the glitterpot take paypal then I wouldn't have had to admit what I was doing to OH .
Linen closet papers, Martha stewart trellis punch, 2 cuttlebug folders, stazon cleaner and some card candy fell into my basket cleaner was technically free as it took me over the £40 for free postage .
anyhoo told him was less than I would have spent at either Harrogate or the NEC plus he just spent £120 on a new bit for the pond :eek:

:j WoW Hoooo all the bunnies have arms now :j going to start the faces tomo

melissa75 - I'm normally quite good at getting none on the floor but some how I do tend to get alot of paint on myself...don't know how though! I have special clothe to paint in...old joggers & a t-shirt

dragonllew - no matter how much cleaning & tidying I do it always looks cluttered, mainly with toys downstairs! Top of my stairs gets cleared then stuff gets put there to be sorted, same with our bedroom, its seems a never ending cycle!!

I think it's a sign of a true crafter to have paper that you have no intention of actually using!

I may have a chance to pop into Tesco on Thursday prepping for DS2s birhtday party at the weekend so hopefully they'll have some bunny ears there!

I'm thinking I've been quite good lately and so am ready for a wee spend on Friday - not sure on what though!
