Ooh i've been eyeing this up for ages but apparently the buttons are quite bug - have you seen the new Woodware Button Punch?

I'm hoping to pick one up at the NEC x

Wow that looks much better than the MS one that I have. It is a fairly big button and I wish the cut was cleaner on the MS one. I might have to order this one as well!!!!

Saucy, great minds think alike, went shopping for more Promarkers, you could have come with me to Joanna Sheen's, she does a pretty good cup of coffee. :coffee:

Bed is calling.

Arrrggghhh, my boys have chicken pox, DS2 has woken up this morning absolutely covered in spots and DS1 has less spots but still has a good number. DS1 is supposed to be doing his first karate grading on Sunday, he's gutted that he probably isn't going to be able to do it.

Will catch up with all posts I've missed later, I need another cuppa if I'm going to be stuck in with 2 children climbing the walls!!!

Oh dear, hope they don't drive you too mad!! How long will they have to stay at home for?? Is it 2 weeks or something??

Hi, just wondering if you ladies could give me some advice please.

I was thinking of purchasing a couple of circle punches. I note that a couple of them say that you can view exactly where you are punching out. Are all the circle punches like this??

I do have a cuttlebug ...... do I choose the die's or punch's ...... I'm thinking the hand punches would be a little quicker/easier to use.

Yes they are as far as I know (Woodware ones are def.). You just turn the punch upside down to see where you're punching. I love mine

2 weeks :eek: :eek: :eek: Get me some 'coping tablets', I'm going to need them You have to keep them away from others until the spots scab over, that means the contagious (sp?) period has finished.

Good luck Rainmac! At least they've both got it together
