Rainmac – the book sound good and I love crime thrillers so might have to get that. I recently read an excerpt of a book in Woman’s Weekly and really want to read it. Found it in Sainsbugs but hard back so am having to wait I don’t know how long until it comes out in paperback (can’t read HB books in bed lol).

What a great idea I had never thought about resizing colouring pages for images thanks for that

OO just had a thought as I am not having my craft room now I need a trat so might buy the Cuttlebug lol oh and a trip to the card show at Harrogate as well.

Sammr – I buy my Docrafts mag in a local garden centre. If you go to the Docrafts website then you can put in your postcode and find your nearest stockist

Tired Mom if you are in Cheshire there is Rosemary Merry’s Shop at Lady Heyes Craft Centre is situated midway between Frodsham and Kingsley, about 10 minutes from junction 12 of the M56.

Hello to all new members and hugs to anyone who is under the weather or has other problems

Freebie at digistamp boutique - not one for Craftygran though as it's a meece :eek:.

Does anyone have a recipe for spitting yourself into 3? I have some work that needs doing by the end of March I've worked out it will take me about 50 hours to do and I have about 30 mins a week to do it in over the next 3 weeks - any suggestions??? :rotfl:.

I'm on the verge of taking the head of customer services to HR as the work is for her and when I queried how much there was I copied my line manager in so she knew what I was doing and the problems I was having and apparantly I shouldn't have done!!! I've raised another matter today (which I was told wouldn't happen) so will see what comes of that - expect she'll have conveniently forgotten what was said. My line manager has been telling me not to worry all day today - I think she's confusing me with someone who gives a monkeys

how about one of those magcians boxes where they saw your head and feet off? lol

seriously though, your work are well out of order, what on earth do they expect you to do?

What are the rest of you doing for Mother's Day?

Sal

Not sure yet.

We normally have my mum up on a Saturday but she will be coming up on the Sunday as I can't have her on her own on Mothers Day. Unfortunately we can't take her out anywhere as we are not 100% certain she will be coming up. Why . It all depends on which day (if at all) my brother decides to come and visit. My sis in law has grown up children so Mum understands that she wants to spend the day with them but last year my brother couldn't even be bothered to come and see her on the Saturday. So I can guarantee we will have my mum up but not 100% sure. We normally invite both mums up for lunch but hubby's mum always turns us down.

Hope the rest of you have a lovely day

I came across 'ducks in a row' which is dead cute and 'road map' and 'report card'. i can see why you like them.

Sally - pleased to hear about your OH's endoscopy...........my OH goes for another scan next Monday then sees the consultant on Wednesday so we'll see what progress has been made.........OH feels he loads better but not well enough for work and I get the feeling the consultant won't let him go for a while yet.............still, we'll see.
Good luck with your other problem x

Isn't that where Rusty and Bunbun go to empty their purses? :rotfl::rotfl:

I have a huge dilemma tonight - do I craft or sit and watch New Moon??? I've thought about trying to do both but don't think I'd manage it :rotfl:
