Yaaayyyy, I've caught up with the posts I missed!!! Need to blog hop now but that will have to wait for a bit, got a pizza to stick in the oven for the boys' tea

Tired Mom, your daughter's party looks amazing, fit for a princess I think

Gemm - please try and take it easy, if you do too much you will end up in even more pain!! (easy to say I know and also I know how true it is :rotfl: only a few more days on your tablets? lucky you !! I am so jealous!

JHB - That is awful I hope you get some kind of answer!

Tiredmom - Not ignoring your PM. I need to take some pictures of the stuff and then I will reply to you.

Can I ask does anyone use the prima pearls? not the ones like the Eline but the ones which are shaped? like this?


How do you stick them on? do you have to stick them on individually? or is it easier than that? I have never used them so really don't know!! .... Also does anyone have any of them lying around in the deepest darkest depths of unused stash that they want to sell to me before I take the leap and buy some from somewhere else?? I don't want to buy too many incase I don't get on with them but on the same note I would need to buy a few so it makes the postage worthwhile if that makes sense!

Rusty I'm sure I've seen something similar to this in Quality Save really cheap. They were actually in the toy section as they are meant for ironing on t-shirts but don't see why you couldn't glue them on card instead. I know they had slogan ones like princess etc but I'm sure they also had ones that were just swirls. I shan't have chance to go till children back at school as dragging DS aged 7 to shops is worse than doing a bikini wax on yourself, the thought still brings tears to the eyes. Hope this is some help.

Hello again - Glad you all had fun at the NEC. I was a little bit naughty and bought a bargain box from Sarah's cards to make up for not going - but I am am sharing it with someone so I'm hoping that doesn't count. I'm supposed to be saving for my cricut.

Anyhoo - was going to ask &son to draw a name for the cake challenge winner but his wii arrived today (he's been saving up for it for ages) and I'll never be able to drag him away from it so I've used random.org instead

True Random Number Generator Min: Max: Result: 12 Powered by RANDOM.ORG

So the winner is number 12 - Tired-Mom.
Drop me a PM with your address and I'll get a little something in the post for you this week.

Okay how sad am I, I have just been jumping up and down in my chair in delight as that's my first win. Thank you. My husband is now wondering what I am so happy about as I am loading the latest Inland Revenue Employer CD and he can't think of anything mildly interesting in that!
