    Run away! run away, the spendy elves are coming :D

    Scrapbookvillage has free post over a £7 spend and lots of new stuff.

    Craftsulove has free shipping over a £5 spend

    Emma, welcome and come back often, its a lovely place to be even at 4 in the morning.

    Following your blog now, Emma, that's me in the bath, rather fitting for your blog, I adore the background.
    :whistle: Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the ground each morning the devil says, "OH CARP, SHE'S UP"! :whistle:

    Welsome to the madhouse emmabo - speaking for myself (and several others) we're all a bit batty but very friendly with it.

    3 freebies here - well on the site link is on side of blog :).

    Hope all the poorlies are feeling better today.
    Just had a 50 mile round trip to pick up my phone which I'd stupidly left at work - wouldn't have bothered but DD is off to her dad''s tomorrow to get yet more presents and I don't have his number anywhere else and his wife gets funny if I ring their house phone :o. OH and I are having a free night in the Holiday Inn at Norwich - don't you love loyalty points :) If our room faces the right way we might even be able to watch the footie match :rotfl:.

    I'm sulking today anyway - I'm got a hole in my fave pair of piggy socks:(

    OOOOOOhhhhh forgot to say my baby came to visit tonight (he's 29 lol) and on the way here he called in home and bargains for something. While he was in there he spotted some pastel card blanks they are trifold with an oval aperture and fold to about c6 i think . 99p for a pack of 50 with envelopes so he brought me the 4 packs left on the shelf . lol.
    He said i thought they might be okay for the sticky out stuff ones (sam speak for decoupage) or that x stitch stuff. bless well at least he bought them and didn't just come home and tell me all about them.

    OMG - you chatty lot! I haven't been on for two nights and too many pages for me to catch up! We've had a glorious week weather-wise, garden gets the sun most of the day so it's been quite warm. I've been spending some time getting tubs etc ready, going to grow some veggies again this year. Still a fair bit to do tidying the garden up so if the weather's good enough I'll be outside rather than on the computer.

    I noticed in a few posts there are some poorlies, hope they're better soon, particularly the children. Craftygranny, so glad your son was allowed home and hope he stays well.

    Welcome Emma.

    Now I've got the lovely ducky digi stamp (thanks Mrs B and Debbie) I can't print it out! Yesterday my printer started playing up, I'm getting streaky bits which are spoiling the image. I can't get to the bit of the software that I need to do a cleaning thing on the print heads so I'll have to uninstall the printer and reinstall it and see if the software fully loads this time.

    I've not done any cards this week so nothing new on the blog after my carpy yellow card :rotfl: . I'm off on a blog hop and hope to catch up again over the weekend.

    Well I used to be the All Ireland Cake Diver but I had to give up my title and join WeightWatchers :D. Crafting keeps the hands & mind busy when I would normally be eating! Thanks so much for all your lovely comments ladies. You're very kind :)
