Marg- I will pm you my details

Gemm85 - Glad to hear you are better, take it easy at work.

Rainmac - Isn't it lovely when you come out feeling quite smug after a parents evening.:j

Tomsmom - Hope all goes well with OH's consultant. If you are ever stuck and can't find a garden answer on internet holler. My DH is a landscape gardener and has amazing plant knowledge where as I haven't got a clue, half the time I think weeds look pretty!

Thrifty - I really am sorry to read about the service you and your son are receiving it really does seem diabolical in this day and age that youngsters can't receive the help they need regardless of background etc. I have a friend that is going through a very similar problem with her 7 year old who has been diagnosed with Aspergers and statemented. Keep strong and don't worry about ranting, if you don't let off steam every so often you will make yourself ill. Hugs....

Flourgirl - Is it you that was after the bubbles for on cards. In the new Stampin Up mini catalogue they are called Sweet Treat Cups and are £2.50 for 12. I've taken a photo of the page in the catalogue as well as my card to give you an idea. Our demonstrator is putting in an order on the 2nd April and I can get her to get you some if you want just let me know. I have posted you chq at lunchtime 1st class if for any reason it doesn't arrive please do let me know, I really don't trust Royal Mail.

Graftgranny - I posted the Princesses parcel at lunchtime 1st class but as it shuts at lunchtime on a wednesday I had missed pick up, it will go tomorrow but with Easter it may arrive Saturday or Tuesday.

I have just added myself to the list, sent a pm to marg with details but forgot to say please can I have a copy when done.

Thrifty - sorry you feel frustrated. I know it can be hard to keep pushing sometimes when you dont feel like you are making progress. Make sure you try to take a bit of time to yourself to keep yourself strong. I am sure it will work out in the end.

PONR - safe flight

Peppop - loved the picture it made me giggle!

Crafty granny - wonderful news about Alicia (sorry I think I took so long composing my posts yesterday I missed your post about this)

Great cards everybody

Edit: took to long to post again and Tired mum has posted in between - you and I have the same birthday TiredMum!!

Hugs being sent to anyone that's poorly

I love this image and have a picture in my head of PONR on the plane covered in bags of stash PONR, hope you have a good journey back but you may want to stay on the plane and head back as the weather here is grim


So, anyone got any plans for the long Easter weekend? We were thinking of going to the safari park but I don't really fancy going if the weather is carp. We've got some serious garden tidying to do so need better weather. Fingers crossed it will change for all of us as we head to Friday x

Isn't there a scene in a film where the main character is rolling around on a bed covered with money they have just won, you can just imagine PONR doing it with all her stash.

We have a tourer caravan that we keep on a seasonal pitch down near Shrewsbury. I was supposed to be there for the whole of the holidays with the children but because of the forecast I decided against it, we may go for a couple of days over Easter as DH can come as well then.

Twinklestar - Snap, but I will add myslef back to the list please as I got bumped off with us posting at same time. Thank you Twinkle you beat me to it.

Wow you lot can gabble on!! ... I will reply to PM's later on ....

Thrifty - May sound silly but have you thought abotu legal advice? I know it is not something you would normally do in this situation but there must be some kind of law which states that should he need care then he should have equal care? Might be worth the 1/2 hour free solicitor visit? they would be at least able to advise if there was anything they could do!

Peppop - I have my fingers in my ears and i'm shouting la la la! lol I want my OH home tomorrow night as planned!

will catch up again later on! x

Tired Mom I think it was flourgirl that was after the 'bubbles'. I'm after something that is in the new catalogue, it's something to store stamps in, I heard about it on a US blog, a small clear box to store my Justrite stamps. Can you see anything like that in your mini catalogue, please?

There is nothing in the way of storage in the new mini, I believe that they get extra mini releases in the US so it may have been in one of those. Is this the sort of thing you were talking about

Wow - 32 of us and counting :j

Tired_Mom

This is the card we made last night at the workshop. Card at back looks wonky as had to cut a slice off the back of the card due to the weight on the front from the jelly beans. I love these sweet treat cups and will definately be getting some.

We punched the card out and then the cup was stuck to a small piece of card that had been perforatted and then stuck to the back of the main card. This means that the recipient can get to the contents of the cup without destroying the card, not sure that makes sense......



This is the page in the catalogue to give you a better idea



This is the paper pack I have fallen in love with and then stamp set, if I order by Friday I get 25% off the most expensvie so I am quite tempted...





Right I'm equipped with rope and head torch and am off to find the bottom of the laundry basket, please send out to the search party if I'm not back later.
