Thanks for all your well wishes on my diet!! I've been wanting to for ages but I love my treats and hate exercise - oh and I'm really lazy too. I just got to the point on Saturday when I knew I had to do something - it was a lovely hot day but I didn't want to go out because I didn't feel comfortable in any of my clothes Fingers crossed I stick at it!

Gemm - I hope things pick up for you soon!

Jowri - welcome back!!!!

Jungle Jane - Welcome to the thread!!! I love your card - the vibrant colours are fab - how did you make it???? It is definately good enought to sell, I'm afraid I have had no luck selling mine so I am probably not the best person to advise you!!! Maybe you could try asking around at local florists/ gift shops, maybe trying a craft fair or boot sale or ven taking a box of card into work (if you work) or maybe a school.

Morning everyone hope your all well.
Ladies who are waiting for things from me I'll be posting tomorrow! I went to the post office yesterday and waited ages for it to open, forgot it was bank holiday. lol
Must try and dig out my uniform today, I'm back to work Wednesday night, 9pm till 3.30am oh joys, at least it'll do my sanity good to get out for a bit.

Thanks for all the support on my diet!! ... the blog will probably be really boring to everyone else but hopefully it will give me somewhere to rant when I am having a bad day!

Good luck I am sure you will stick to it, I have to admit mine has been too long coming, maybe if I bothered to do something about it when I first started losing the weight then I might not be in so much pain now!

Jowri - Nice to see you back

Jungle Jane welcome to the most expensive thread on here!!

Sweet babycakes - well done on all of your sales! thats a fab amount!

Gemm - hope you feel a bit better soon, I like a good old moan aswell :rotfl: but then you probably noticed that? ooh that sentiment stamp set it nice!! I am a sucker for using the daisy and dandelion cheapies or the craftwork ones!

Marg - Nope no cups of tea :eek: it is killing me on that front already but will be worth it! glad you had a nice time at the BBQ!

Thanks for the freebie!

ETA: anyone let the spendy elves out at lilli of the valley? I was good and only bought 3 boy ones, but the spendy elves woke me up just before 4am to do it :eek:

Rusty - I am very tempted to get some of the new Lili releases - I wonder if there's any left???? I wish I'd tried earlier to lose weight before getting to this stage - oh well - at least I'm doing something now!!!!

Skimmed the last umpteen pages - sorry - back from MILs but will have to go back down next weekend as she is not coping very well alone. She has allowed carers to come in and help her though.

Have got a couple of cards to make this week, hopefully. I didn't manage to get to the Range when I was at MILs

Can i just check did you receive your stash swap from me ? Ive asked but cant find if you replied that it had arrived. Having just had another mess up with Royal Mail, im abit worried.

Wishfulcomper Sorry to hear that Mil isnt coping very well. At least now she has allowed carers to come in.

Rusty I just remembered about the new releases and just had to get a few ( so much for me not spending this month lol) Which did you get ? I bought the little nurse, new hat and big present. It was very hard to just choose a few and i very nearly bought all 12

Melissa It looks like they still have all of the new stamps in stock. The out of stock items are from the last batch that came out
