Afternoon all, I have bloghoped and left comments, If I have not commented on yours could you let me know as my reading list did not look very long. Have I lost some or is my blogger not working properly?

DTB good luck with your job hopes
Scatty hope you find your house sale and purchase is not too stressed
Choccy I am another footie fan -not- so am quite happy to be crafting instead

Sorry thats my memory emptied now!!!!! sending hugs to Marg, Rusty and anyone else with health problems and cheers to everyone else

I've been having problems for a few days with blogger so I don't think it's us. Funnily enough when other people have said they've got problems mine has been fine so doesn't seem to be any sense in it.

Really pleased I've now sussed who Antonia is!

Scatty OH keeps telling me if it were left up to him he would throw everything away :eek: (I admit it I'm a horder - but you would be amazed and what I can find to use for my craft stuff )

On another note - for those of you with a thing for ribbons check out this blog page. This looks more like a shop that a craft room. It's incredible. The first pic reminds me of Rusty's zimmer

I too have been having some problems...I go to comment on someones blog & I get an error message! Also yesterday my homepage info vanished away from under my name on here...touch wood its survived 24hrs & the link to my blog is still there!!

I've managed to get everything done that I wanted today so I'm a happy bunny I did put the washing out in the end which I'm glad I did as its all dry now I sold one of my bag charms too, it had only been listed for a min:j :j We've just had home made lasagne for tea now we're moving onto the triffle I made this morning mmmm....I've been a right proper housewife today :rotfl::rotfl:

Oooooooooooh, I'm fed up with my 'pooter, I'm having trouble again today. It's had to be moved again for DS to carry on with the work he's doing in the sun room - can only do so much then it has to go "off", then back the next day to do so more, etc. He's put some kind of sealer on this afternoon and if I sit here any longer I'll be as high as a kite! Anyway, unplugging the computer caused a problem 'cos it's an old one and the battery inside is flat - I don't know what I'm talking about really, our computer doctor has just left and told us this. That's why my time settings went back to 1 Jan 2002 last night. He's coming back tomorrow with a lithium battery, will put everything back as it was, and will also set my laptop up to go wireless, I've not bothered before as I keep it in the loft with my craft stuff and don't use it for the internet. OH now wants it connected as a back up in case this old girl (computer, not me ) throws another wobbler.

Right, got that off my chest and I can't stay on long because this smell is choking me and I'm beginning to feel sick even though two windows and the door are open.

I don't seem to be on your blog list OAP, my link is in my profile.

I'll try and get on again later if this smell goes away.

Haven't had chance to put makes on blog yet as I'm off to a Girlguiding County Training Session and we are booked on the Fairy Food for Rainbows so should be fun, not sure how it's going to last 1.5 hours though!

evening all, had a days holiday from work today so have spent it getting organised and made a few cards, I really need to get cracking on stuff for my fair, seems like I've got ages but I bet it will sneak up on me!

anyone else got one of those Nellie snellen flower punches that comes in 2 parts - and one part punches and the other embosses? I know a few others bought them at the NEC too... anyways, I've never been too impressed with mine and am wondering how everyone else gets on with theirs? the embossing part never seems to emboss very well, no matter how thin the paper I am using or how hard I press down on the bl**dy thing, I am sure I was about to break it earlier :rotfl: just trying to figure out if i've got a faulty one or if they are just carp?

I'm not too impressed with mine either:( I find it doesn't emboss very well even if I press hard and sometimes if I press too hard the card rips. Also every so often the embossing one jams shut. so not really too happy with it:(

oh dear bunbun, thats what I was afraid of I've been googling for images though, and all the examples look great, a bit misleading especially as they aren't exactly cheap!
