    ... To do it cheap would take me a boat ride, a train ride and two over night-stays (I live on the Isle of Man).

    ...so what's stopping you coming then, you've worked out your route... ;) :rotfl: xxx

    Hiya peeps - just quickly popping in - not good today - another night of no sleep last night and god my back is killing me!!! Slightly beside myself tbh just can't get comfortable no matter what I do!! Anyway, my blog revamp is almost complete - very pleased with it so far!!! Take a look if you get a mo! Anyway a quick question - I want to change it into a 3 column layout instead of a 2 column layout which it is now because i think it will look better but I can't work out how - any experienced bloggers out there know the answer please? Cos I thought I just had to go to Customise & settings / layout and choose a new template but the only template there are all 2 columns!!! please help anyone? Just need to post now - its been ages!!!

    JHB - bet you'll have a fab time at Glastonbury!! woop woop!

    Rusty - sorry you're not good either - hope things improve soon!

    OT but I'm so excited - me and DD will be going to Glastonbury for the first time :j
    We'll be volunteering for Shelter, but it's actually bar work and Shelter get donations for the volunteers they send. We'll have to work 3 8-hour shifts over 5 days, and get free camping in the staff area, free meals when working, and a free bus there and back.
    It's really made my day :D

    Wow fantastic news well done :j
    No, but of course you need one! :D

    I'm looking at the Woodware one atm, but am going to be very good and put it on my birthday list.

    Really envious of you all off to NEC - too far me to drive:(

    :rotfl: that is classed as encouragement to spend!! I closed the page down in the end and haven't ordered anything!

    Popkins hope you are better soon!

    Thrifty - I have my MIL & FIL 5 mins down the road but I am too proud to ask for help, I would rather struggle!! OH goes mad at me though for not asking.

    Well I never made it to the doctors, I couldn't move by the time I got back from the school and have sat at the table crafting whilst the kids played in the garden, I just about managed to make their tea and I am not eating tonight because I can't move well enough to stand in the kitchen and cook my tea!! Hopefully it will be a bit better tomorrow as I am driving to Durham to visit bunbun and we need to go craft shopping in the big warehouse (Dainty supplies) and also Imag-e-nation!

    Edit: Forgot to say I added a card to my blog, but I don't like it :(

    Rusty - I don't have the Martha Stewart button punch - I have the sizzix button dies instead

    Can't remember who was asking about flower dies for the bug - I couldn't find any when I was looking so bought the EK success punches in a sale somewhere :D

    Hmmm I am very tempted cause you can get 3 different sizes, but I think there is something about my cuttlebug and sizzix, The alphabet I bought at the NEC in november doesn't work in my bug, neither do bunbun's alphabets she bought from someone on here? yet they work in bunbuns cuttlebug so not sure if that die would work in mine or not? it is definately cheaper? I guess I could buy it then sell it again if it doesn't work?

    I have to use mine cutting side up or paper face down IYKWIM and run them through, reverse and then through again. WIll admit they're a bit of a pain though - when all else fails I blow the dust off my sidekick and use that :).

    Knowing you you'll have it for 10 minutes and sell it for twice as much.

    Postie nearly got kissed this morning - had email from Amazon Monday saying despatched but delivery of wii sports resort expected saturday - only prob with that is DD's birthday is tomorrow!! But postie brought it today he looked frightened when I jumped up and down lol! He also brought my new K & Co papers and a Martha Stewart punch why is OH always at home when my sneaky purchases are delivered!!!!

  • Sorry to interrupt, but I wondered if anyone knew whether you can make those cut out cards at home?
    And if so, what I'd need to do it?
    I'm fighting the urge to buy a cuttlebug...

    Think I might just leave it and see if I use the buttons Marg sent me first ...

    I don't always sell stuff for twice as much, it is only ebay that works that way!

    ooooh sports resort is fun :D happy birthday to DD for tomorrow! which MS punch did you buy?
