Just done a message and it vanished:(

Chocolate Orange I did read that the metalics should be stored flat so that could be the problem with the flooding
I really should take a piccy of my promarker storage it really is a top of the range shoebox you know:rotfl:

:rotfl:Well they are right... they do !!:D

Oooh i used to have mine inside a pizza box until i had this craft tote
(obviously it was a clean unused pizza box )

ScattyJan

actually I would imagine a pizza box good storage (as long as clean lol)
My shoebox gets on my nerves I end up tipping all the pens out to find the colour I need. I cant fit anymore in my shoebox so when I get some more pens, I must upgrade maybe to a pizza box:)

ScattyJan

meant to say Ive had no probs with my metalics, best get yourself a shoebox lol

They drive me mad in a way - I colour a card and just as I get near the end I colour a part and it all looks a mess.
They are lovely to use though

Oh blow, I've lost some of my quotes again.

First was was Rusty - Great that the chiro is reducing his charge for you, I do hope he is able to help, your situation is dire and your surgery should be ashamed of itself for not coming out to you. And another abcess, you poor thing, you certainly are going through it at the moment.

I had my second bulk buy (25) Promarkers from Angel Crafts today, great service again and quick delivery. I now have 54 so had started to think about storage so

I made some storage for mine from toilet roll inners stuck inside a cardboard box :rotfl:had a blue peter moment but sure beats seaching for each colour in a tub and now I have a tube or serveral tubes for each colour and I coloured some round stickers for the end caps so I can see at a glance which colour I'm pulling out.

What a clever idea! I think I might use that until:

How about this? Just wish I had that many Promarkers.

I can get something like this. I wonder if The Factory Shop has anything, it's the only shop here that would have anything remotely like that, everywhere else is 1.5 hours drive away and we went to Wrexham last week so no more shopping trips for a while .

Be afraid, be very afraid :rotfl: . A month ago, after reading everyone's praise of PMs, I said I wouldn't be getting into them, I didn't have the budget and I would stick to my water colour pencils. That is until some images were absolute carp when water coloured - so OH persuaded me to buy "a few" PMs with some birthday money I had saved up. So I bought 25, then 4 odd ones. Somehow 25 wasn't enough, I needed some other colours I hadn't included in the first lot, so I ordered another 25. I think I've got enough now, certainly enough to cover most colours and shading. So now I have the problem of how to store them. Mumoffour - stay away from them, they are addictive, you will always want more :rotfl: (but they are lovely ).

Right, am off to catch up on the blogs I didn't manage to check out earlier.

Oh, by the way, d-i-l didn't get very far yesterday when she went back to see the people after they finished the CAMHS meeting. She arrived promptly at 12.30 as agreed, they didn't finish until 12.45 then told her they were running late and didn't have time to sit down and talk things through with her. WHAT A SURPRISE!!! So they gave her a phone number and told her to ring them. The number is for CAMHS, which she already had, and she's left in the same position as before, she will ring them up, leave a message and wait for probably nothing to happen again. What a shame her fighting spirit had left her by then .

Evening ladies..
Just a quick post, am about to go to bed, been really tired today.. don't know why..
Anyway..
Skiergirl Hope you feel better soon, there are loads of bad backs, legs, knees and other joints at the moment.. something must be in the water.. it's not much fun..
Anyway, QVC outlet is in Birchwood Shopping Centre, Warrington, Postcode WA39PQ There is one in Shrewsbury too, I haven't been there, that is in Darwin Shopping Centre, Postcode SY11BP.
It seems that there might be a mass rush to Ikea for those DVD drawers over the weekend and coincidentally, QVC isn't so very far away from the one in Warrington.. hmmm.. :think:
Thankyou to Peppop and Tiredmom for the links to those..
Rusty Glad you are going to be able to visit the chiropractor, hopefully he will be able to sort your pain out now, he is a bargain... shame about your mouth being sore now.. hope you get some sleep tonight..
Peppop Sorry about your impacted wisdom tooth, I have heard they are very painful. My ds2 has had lots of pain with his teeth coming through..
Tiredmom Hope you have a brill time and manage to get a signal..
The Wife Pleased for you that you do not have to make another visit for another month to osteopath, isn't it just typical that you have something else to bother you now as in your knee?
Mumoffour Be very afraid of promarkers, they can be very addictive and they have a habit of jumping in baskets...
Ponr Lovely step card, I missed that link and your jewellery makes are loverly..
Right, I am off to bed, hope you ladies get good nights sleep
nite nite.. yawn...
