ooh meant to ask does anyone remember the name of that first stall at the NEC in March, the one where she tried her hardest to rob us blind?? was it A1 crafts or am I being silly?

flourgirl

Sorry Rusty cant help you there Just a thought... A1 wasn't the stall number was it? Have you looked on your paper pack to see if the name is on there?

Rusty - crikey 2 1/4 litres of water a day - you must be permanently in the bathroom!!! I'm just trying to eat a bit healthier at the minute - I've got a recipe for courgette soup that I found on GMTV that I'm going to attempt for my lunch - wish me luck!!!! I'm tucking into bran flakes and a banana at the minute!!!! Sorry about your useless doctor - what an as*! Your toppers look fab - and I love that camera image!

OAP - sorry to hear you've been feeling "yuk". Hope you feel better soon.

Wanna-b-rich - congratulations on getting the top 5 spot!!!!!

Bunbun - I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better!! Love your music card - that image is fab!

TiredMom - I have an 8 year old boy and sometimes he can be very difficult. It seems like overnight he has developed an "attitude" - its not like him at all - I hope he grows out of it soon. I'm sick of being told "whatever", its strange though because half the time he's the sweetest most caring boy you could meet! I didn't think I'd have to go through this until he reached his teens!

Flourgirl - sorry to hear you've been suffering too! I love your swap card - its gorgeous!!!!

ScattyJan - congratulations - when are you moving????

Louby-Lou-Lou - welcome back and good luck with your fair!

Dawnteabag - I love your b-i-l's sweety stash - I'm sure he will be thrilled!!!!

Jowri - What fantastic news - I bet you're still jumping!!!!! I hope your DS is better!

Mumoffour77 - hope your crafting enthusiasm returns soon!

CraftyJuJu - glad to hear that it went well at the doctors!

Choccy - thank you so much for my stash swap - it arrived yesterday - I love everything!!!! I'll be posting your off today (well the OH will). Congratulatios on your win!

Polkadot - welcome to the thread - I love those printable milk things - can't wait to see what you make next!

No worries Jo and Rusty for not being able to join in - it was fun seeing what people come up with, I got bored though and wanted to join in lol
A warm day here but not much sign of the sun.
Melissa we hope to move aug or early september time, theres not much of a chain so fingers crossed - am still hoping it will be nice weather as one of our first jobs is getting an extension built, I know it sounds silly but it will be our cats bedroom lol - They were our entire priority when we decide to move checking we wernt near busy roads etc, our new house has quad folding doors at the back so would be no good for a cat flap but there is a way to add an extra door at the side which would lead to an extension
Love to you all

What a morning. Just got back in from the school run :eek:. Ive thanked the posts Ive read so I remember where I am. I really am terrible for posting. I tend to lurk and only post when I have an answer to a question or a question that needs an answer So if I tend to do that here, please forgive me.

Someone asked if I could share a picture of the milk money envelope?

I dont really use my blog much these days (it sort of became an odds and sods spot) so can I just insert it into a post here once Ive put it on my FB or something? Id hate you all to see the state of my blog now-its a lot like my house .

I might not be about lots today as I have my teeth into Lloyds and my husband about a loan :mad: but you can read about that on my diary as Im about to have a rant about it.

Hope today is treating you all well.

Feeling a bit better today, headache has gone just a stuffy nose and achy limbs

Have managed to colour in a couple of images just trying to decide what papers to use, I usually end up spending hours going through my paper stash thinking I need some more as nothing suitable

Have not got on at all with my Tim Holtz distress inks they just end up looking like a splotchy mess, does anyone have any hints?

Hi All

Sorry long post as having not been on for a couple of days I had 6 pages to catch up on.

Scatty - Great news on house

Louby Lou & Sweet Baby Cakes - Good luck with your sales

Farmville - Confused about your ribbon, did you get sorted?

Crafty - Take care with that foot, ligaments seem to take ages to heel. I ripped mine in my ankle twice as a yongster and have never been able to wear heels. Hope you get your Folksy confusion sorted.

Jowri - Wonderful news about Andy you must be on such a high. Re: hip replacement my friend who is mid to late 40's has just had a hip replacement with great success.

Choccy - Well done on challenge. One of the many cards I have made in the last couple of days was for Anne as I was concerned that all seemed to have gone quiet. Please let me know if you hear from her.

Mad-Frog - Oh no not good news about your freezer with the hot weather we had.

Ali.B - Super news on your car. I never drank until I had children!

Marg - Hope having a better day today

Melissa - Your son sounds just like mine as he is usually so sweet natured, must be an age thing. He did also admit this morning that he was a bit scared, nervous etc about going into the junior school.

Polkadot - Hello, glad you got sorted. Strange question but how long does £10 of milk last you, sounds an awful lot? Sorry just being nosey.

Flourgirl - Sorry to hear you are suffering.

Right going to post this before I lose it. Back in a mo....

Phew, been helping at DS2's preschool sports day this morning, quite tired now! Hoping to get a couple of cards made tonight. OH has the day off work tomorrow and as the boys are at school/preschool we are going to go see Robin Hood at the cinema, I'm really looking forward to it.

Rusty, I loved Gene Hunt in Ashes to Ashes but couldn't bear that drippy woman Alex so didn't watch it. We did see the final episode though cos wanted to know how it ended.

Freebie teabag samples here, only a couple but free nonetheless, could use them for teabag cards ;-)
