    Rainmac I ordered the Basics Manilla and Whites. :eek: but just the 6 x 6 pads.

    Afternoon everyone

    Am sat in the garden with the laptop supposed to be researching holidays but have come on here for a nosey for a bit

    Have three male cards to make! will try and get some started later when OH goes out for his boys night out, can't stay inside with all this lovely weather

    thin k the spendy elves will be coming for a visit tonight too as I am after some more stamps, can't quite decide what i want so might have to order a few :D

    The mouse on the lap top has stopped working, so having to use the optical one, not very impressed as the computer is only a couple of months old, so need to find the receipt but that might take some time, will try and catch up properly on blogs tonight

    lol I have them all now, apart from the warm greys and the ice greys as I barely use grey so seemed pointless. Next time they bring more out I will pre order and get them at a cheap price I think!

    I have the white pad and also max and whiskars, still want the other 2 but I am behaving. I also have the capella sitting there looking sorry for itself but it is just not me!

    The Manilla one is what I have I think? You would love Cappella I think, not that I'm trying to spend your money or anything ;)

    Just off to take the boys out on their scooters then need to make tea. I've managed to get 4 loads of washing on the line today and need to get it in and ironed :eek: The ironing is a job for tomorrow I think ;)

    Rainmac, I have tried to post a comment but I can't do it. Do I need a Blog to post a comment?

    Anyone looking for promarkers, they're £1.59 each at Creative Craft World. There's currently 25% off if you spend over £10 with £1 p&p.

    I'm a bit rubbish at sums but I thin that means they're about £1.30 each

    8 x £1.59 = £12.72
    12.72 X 0.75 = £9.54
    £9.54 + £1 p&p = £10.54
    £10.54 / 8 = £1.31

    Works out a bit better if you don;t need or can't afford the multi-buy at angel crafts.

    Forgot I hadn't updated re the holiday situation and the ash cloud
    Luckily, by the time I got back, HR had stepped in and made an across the board decision that it would be classed as "special leave" so it doesn't come out of my holiday allowance. YAY!!!!!!! The boss was really not a happy bunny.

    I went without the 2 fingered salute (to their backs anyway). The worst of the 2 is leaving the department, but not the building so I may see him occasionally. On Friday he tried to delegate a task to me to which gave a solid "No" followed by an explanation that I was no longer in his line management. That felt pretty good!

    Evening all!

    Rusty - so glad you liked the cards - the sunflower was so out of my comfort zone! I've just realised that I didn't take any piccies of them though!

    DTB - so glad you're feelingbetter.

    Rusty - the sea in Msy - are you mad woman?

    I popped to the Range for some ribbon today, and came home with the DOcrafts goody bag. It's full of the Henbury Lane paper and stuff (the ones that I used on my never ending card). I don't usually buy these beacause even at the reduced price there's not enough in there that I'd use - but as I was going to get more paper anyway I was more than happy to take advantage! There are also some lush felt (very fine) die cut butterflies in pinks and purples.
