Having a nightmare today as my keyboard on my laptop has decided to die and I have spent the afternoon on the phone to Dell. Can't fault them though they have been brilliant and an engineer is going to call within 36 hours to arrange a convenient time, one of those extended warranties that was worth getting! It means I now have a friends spare keyboard attached but I keep deleting things and I'm annoyed as I've not had a chance to doing anymore playing since Tuesday night and this afternoon was my last chance before Saturday night, doh. Sorry winge over.

Rainmac - Sorry to hear about your littlies, not much fun. I used the calamine cream that was mixed with something else when mine had it as it is not so drying. Like Rusty my DD did it at 6 months old even though she was breastfed. She then passed it onto a lot of people including DS who had avoided it till then as she was at her most contagious at her Christening! They are better getting it when they are younger as DH got it in his late 30's and was really bad.

Craftyjuju & Paddingtondoo - Even if your mothers don't appreciate all that you do I certainly do. The things you make are so lovely to look at and I know a handmade card or gift off someone is worth so much more than the time it takes to grab something off the shelf.

CandyB101 - Obviously I am very new to this but on Tuesday at the workshop I went to I was using the Stampin Up circular punch and you could see what you were punching by doing it turned over.

NannyBoo1 - I cannot thank you enough for the information you gave me re sparklebox. It is a site I have used often to assist my son who is on an IEP and it makes me feel awful to think of the funding that that man was getting and for what means. I have most certainly removed it from my favourites and thankfully didn't have the toolbar. Now I just need to find something similar.

Someone also said that their parcel had arrived from Madaboutcards, think it may have been Melissa. Following your link I also made some purchases as with very limited funds it seemed daft not to. I have just seen that mine has dispatched so hopefully it will arrive tomorrow, you watch it will arrive at the lunchtime school run!

I have booked myself on another workshop with the Stampin demonstrator, this one is on techniques. I decided that in doing a few workshops it would really help me decide on what purchases are a must and what aren't really a must unless the spendy elves infiltrate your computer! My mine problem is I now have a copy of the Stampin Up catalogue and I keep going through going I like that, I like that, I like that............

Sorry that was a bit of an epic one and I've probably missed some people and now my computer screen has gone strange again.:(

I'm still on the cuttlebug mission and for all you blue people have you seen this one.

OOOOH PEPPOP I love that blue bug its beautiful and all those extras shame i have the snot green one.

Well we go from bad to worse in this house. One of my twins collapsed in the hallway this morning as they were going out to college . We took him to hospital and they are keeping him under observation at the moment they think he may have early symptons of appendicitus or pancreatitus . They said it may subside by tomorrow or they may have to do more tests .

Rainmac hope the boys are better soon. kaitlyn and her brother and sister all caught it last easter.

Thankyou for your lovely words I know my mum is only one person, but it would be nice if she could get a little more enthused about what I love to do!

It was me that received a box of goodies today from Mad About Cards :j I can't wait to play :j just got to find some spare time! lol
My box came when I nipped to pick my mum up at Lunch time, luckerly my neighbour took it in for me...phew!
