Rusty - you must think I'm terrible for not sending you anything - I promise I will try and make something - I seem to be spending but not making anything at the minute.

Evening ladies..
A very tired and achey me here..
Marg It was only a short heavy downpour.. thank goodness..
Once it had stopped, three lots of washing went on line, and I dug over veg patch, forked in 3 bags of grow bags and planted out all veg.. then added bonemeal and watered then tidied up... I am well chuffed with my achievement, but my hands are like sandpaper and I am too tired to craft..:sad:
I also changed bed too.. I like getting in a nice clean bed..
I have had a very hot bath.
I have 5 more borders to dig over, add compost to and plant some plants in... :eek:

Many Congrats to .... :j:j :T:T
Wifey I like that blog with the house mouse songs.. I had better not start thinking about that or I will be awake in the night trying to think of my own to add..
Wishfulcomper Sorry, thought you had had op.. hope it goes very well for you tomorrow..
Rainmac Please can I be added to the Rusty challenge? I did a card for her and Gemm posted it on here for me, kind lady..

Right, I am off to bed, just to browse thru some mags..no doubt I will be awake soon, lately been awake around 4.30 ish.. but on Ideal world at 5am til 8am there are repeat craft shows, so that keeps me entertained..
I will read thru properly tomorrow and post on here then..
Nite nite, hope you all sleep well.. x

well done to the winners on here today!

very sorry ladies but far too much chatting has gone on for the likes of me to comment on properly, I had an order for 10 cards (only 2 designs though!) today to be ready for tomorrow, so have just spent the last 2 hours doing that and am now having a well earned cup of tea before I crawl into bed :rotfl:

oh and thanks for everyone who commented on the nellies embossing punches, I had another play earlier and I found that giving about 5 or 6 short sharp 'bounces' on the embossing punch works much better than one really hard one. thanks to the person who mentioned that method, sorry I can't remember who it was!

hassy sounds like you got lots done today, I am having to help in the garden this weekend I want it to look nice I just don't want to do the work lol. I will be painting the fences while OH puts weed membranes and gravel down. wonder if I should do a nice design on them, something crafty hehe

How did that guy who was demonstrating the punches at the NEC do it, he made it look so easy???

Just a quickie again. The chemical smell isn't so bad today but still there and making my head funny and me feeling sick. DS has put another layer on the second step so hopefully tomorrow the final layer of levelling will go on and the smell will go. I've had the windows and door open all day but it still builds up when they're shut.

For those who asked, the cat was still alive this morning :rotfl: but she has stayed away all day, came back for her tea and went straight out again and is still out now!

Computer doctor has been here again today, put new battery in the tower and says to see if it still plays silly beggars. He's got two more things to try if it still plays up but as it's an old computer it could be nearing the end of it's life, something possibly with the motherboard. If it's going to conk it will be when the desk is moved back to it's original position by the steps as moving it originally started the problem off. Anyway, he got my laptop sorted with the wireless thingy so I will be able to connect to the internet if the old girl does conk. He's copied my favourites onto the laptop, put me an anti-virus on and is coming back tomorrow to sort out the email contact list as it's not showing up. All too much for my little brain I'm afraid.

Anyway, congratulations are in order so well done ladies :T.

I can't stay in here long enough to read back all of today's posts so I hope everyone is OK, hugs where needed and I hope to be able to post as normal sometime tomorrow.

Ali I have this stamp if you'd like me to do you some images then you can do a challenge card.

well done to the winners we have on here .
Hugs to all who need them.
Marg I showed my o/h the stash on that blog and he said does she live alone? lol. Did say it looked like my stuff though.
He said he thought i had loads till he saw those. I do have a few punches too but nowhere near that many.
I will get round to photographing my stamps asap. I gave kaitlyn loads and loads of smaller stamps to take to nursery the teachers and the kids were thrilled. They were all little fiddly ones with balloons and a fish and an apple etc . on.

Good Morning Ladies, I hope its lovely and sunny where you all are.

I have just caught up on the posts from the last week...phew... Sorry I can't remember who did what :o As always there are loads of fabby makes and loads of lovely winners!!!:T:T:T All very well deserved xx

We had a lovely few days away but boy was it freezing at night :eek: -2 in a caravan with no heat :eek: after the first night I made a note to myself not to have a drink just before bed!!! It was just too cold to get out of bed for the loo and it only about 6 steps from the bed! Went to Whitby and had some gorgeous fish and chips from the Magpie, we had takeaway and it was still £6 each :eek: Managed a couple of National Trust places too. Spent yesterday afternoon unpacking the caravan and cleaning and re-packing ready for the off again, not for about 3 weeks though, then its just a case of putting in clothes and food.

Thanks for the link to the House Mouse challenge, I have one in mind for that, its one for us mature ladies to remember:rotfl: I think this week will have to be spent catching up with all your challenges, I made a couple of bracelets and earings so will blog them later. I have started to catch up with the blogs and hope I dont miss anyone, sorry if I do, there are so many to read.
