Good Morning!
It's glorious here if still a little cool, sorry I haven't been responding for a couple of days, it's been a bit busy here and though my eyes are a lot better & the ointment is working well it is still a bit tricky. I have read up to here but replying is a bit hit & miss.


Sorry to the poorlies, including children, amonst us - hope you're all feeling much better very soon and a particular Well Done to Rusty for the Acupuncture - very brave - was reading the book distraction for you or Missy?

Well done Mr Rusty!

have well and truly snipped your post, glad your eyes are getting better, take things easy!! .....

Acupuncture doesn't hurt one bit, but the woman who did my physio was concerned that DD might want to twang the copper top of the needle and they had to keep them in for 10 mins, as it stood DD was as good as gold so we read a story, just need a longer one cause its for 20 mins next time, she has told everyone I had big needles in my back though lol

Thankyou for the well dones for OH. xx

Came on to say CraftyJuJu you have a fabulous birthday, you share it with my DD and also my G'Dad! :j :j (well no longer my Gdad but it used to be!)

Rusty - I haven't ordered from either of those sites before so I hope they're okay - fingers crossed my flowers will arrive today!!! I agree about Wild Orchid - in the long run their prices are fab - but I wanted a big selection of colours and to buy them all from there would have cost me ££££££££s!!!! The postage from the second flower site can be quite high if you order their packs of 50 - but I stuck to their sample packs of the roses - then it was 7p each postage! Congratulations to OH!!!!

Hassy - congratulations!!!!

Rusty - have you seen the preview of one of their new stamps - the boy by the river with the boat - so cute!!! I am such a fan of their stamps - I'm streadily building up a collection!

Just popped a couple of pics of Elliot on my blog here he's 9 months now - how quick has that gone????

Well done Hassy and Skiergirl :j

Not had much time to make anything these past few weeks, we have a vacancy and someone off sick so doing some overtime, suppose the money will come in handy. Managed to order some new papers and pro markers though so hopefully when I am off at the weekend I can get some card making done

I want to order some more stamps but can't decide what to order, does anyone have any favourites?

Morning everyone :wave:
Not been reading thread for a couple of days, I have been so busy in the garden and shattered after... about to go out again, but just read well done Hassy.. ?? Sorry to offend, but what have I done? Granted I only properly read Dragonllew's, Melissa's, and Sweet baby cakes post when my name was mentioned.. it was on this page..
I had a quick skim over the last posts, but I can't see what I am missing :embarasse

Many many congrats Skiergirl... :j :j

Right, brew time in the garden whilst digging yet again.. I don't need to go to the gym..

I will catch up later..
Have a great day everyone, the sun is shining and the forecast is for it to get warmer for the weekend.. :j
TTFN...

Yep everything buy them all :rotfl:

Sugar nellie have some pretty ones at funkykits and they sell the cc design ones which are lovely . Melissa buys those.
Lilli of the valley have some lovely new ones out
Princess tilda ones seem popular at the moment too.

Well done to mr rusty thats fab news :j

Well done hassy and skiergirl. :j

well we need to go bed shopping today . Heard a lot of banging about last night and thought it was neighbours doing diy . Few mins later one of twins came in and said err you might want to see what carly just did. She'd dragged her quilt and sheet and the mattress off her bed and took all the slats out.lol. It's one of those ikea day bed type ones and the slats just slot in. They had stood and watched her and couldn't believe their eyes.
We put it back together and 5 mins later she did it again. She ended up in uncle dannys bed till she fell asleep then they put her back. One bed with a very solid fixed base on the shopping list :rotfl:Little monkey is too clever for her own good .


Hassy this should answer your question. Shamelessly snipped from rustys post. lol
Rainmac - Thankyou so much for arranging the draw/sending of cards you have all been so kind. The 2nd winner of Rainmacs *send me a get well soon card is ................... HASSY! will sort some things out for you and get them in the post, but I just want to thank you all for your support and kindness!! all of the cards I have recieved have kept me going and are so special to me!!

Hello again...
A Very very embarassed me here...
I have been informed of what I have won and I am thrilled to say the very least, if somewhat with a feeling of being unworthy...
It is the first card I have had on here courtesy of the lovely Gemm.. and I have won,. and what is more, had to be told that I had won and what I had won it for....
I am very sorry... hangs head, blame it on the fresh air I have been having lately and a rush of blood to the head cos of all the bending down in t'garden...
Thank you very very much Rainmac for organising the comp...
Right, I am sloping off now.... thank you once again, I would like to thank my agent.. cat even tho I don't have one... etc etc... lol

Well done to Skiergirl and Hassy
Thank you sooooooo much to Padster for my lovely prize that has just arrived - its so lovely, I might forget about the quick dust round for the house viewing and just sit and play .
Well, we decided last night we might go and have a second viewing on the first house we saw in Thornbury although a lot of work needs doing it really was at an affordable price and more to the point had a generous size what would be craft room BUT as I was looking up the details last night another one jumped out at me literally - we looked at this other house a few weeks back (only on estate agents web site)and although it was a dream house it was 25k over our budget - its now been reduced by.........25k!!! we have a viewing on friday morning
And................... Ive lost a pound!! must be all the dusting Im doing lol
Lots of Love to you all
xx

Rusty Thank you so much for pulling my name out of the hat, or however it was done.. how rude of me not to thank you earlier.. reading Craftygranny's post has explained it a bit more to me.. :doh:
I will sit down properly later and digest all the posts from Saturday which is the last time I skimmed thru... That will teach me...
