Whoops - just ordered 12 promarkers on Creative Craftworld - lots of colours oos so I reckon you lot have already stripped the shelves there lol!!!!

Just need to find somewhere that is free postage for the memento ink and a blending pen now!!

Hi PONR Joanna sheen does both ink and blender pens with free delivery, not sure if it is a mimimum of £5 spend but I have had 99% of my promarkers from her and delivery is always fast!

Blender is here, and ink is here

Hope that helps? infact I just noticed how cheap her ink pads are ... might have to buy myself another one as a spare ... and a new blush pen as mine is seriously running low!

Nicci - I second what the others have said, this place is definately the place to be when you feel rough/want a moan/feel down, its strange but I class all of these girls as my friends, some of them are very close friends and then some of them I have never even met!! they have helped me through lots of rough times over the last year or so and I couldn't have got through any of it without them. They still help me on a daily basis by just knowing I can come and moan or get in touch with them if I need help.

Gemm sending hugs xxx

Bunbun - As you said I picked up my mojo on the way home from yours!! he was near the Angel of the north! :j Have to admit, I have enjoyed it, I just want it to be here still tomorrow so I can craft some more and hopefully get a few fathers day cards done!! I am lacking inspiration for my Dad!! ... wanted some kind of farm type picture but just nothing is coming to me!!

Hope everyone has a good night, think I am going to go up to bed and read some more, I am in agony tonight ... I will update my cambridge diet blog tomorrow evening as it is weigh day :j, I am quite scared though as I really want a good weight loss or I might just chuck it all in, but think I will only get a few llbs. CD consultant has high hopes for me but I must remember it is only 5 days as I only started on monday!

Craftgirl - will reply to your PM tomorrow, and yours aswell Hassy, sorry brain not functioning through this pain tonight!!

Hi, sorry not caught up but just wanted to pop in and say my Big Shot is here :j, I am very scared of it I am also the owner of a couple of embossing folders and a Marianne Designs flower die, I don't know what to do with any of it...yet...!

Huge thanks to Ali for the DVD, need to watch it when OH is out as he will just laugh at me watching a Big Shot demo DVD, think it will help me loads xxx

Big hugs to everyone, hope to catch up better tomorrow xxx

Gemm and Nici sending you both big hugs

Flourgirl Hope all goes well for you dad. Sounds like hes used to these little procedures. But mighty brave having them done whilst awake :eek:

Rusty Beeeeautiful cards

PONR If you email Lou at CCW you can put your name down for any she has that are missing you may have to wait a week or three for them to come in. But if you can wait they are a great price Think ive seen a big Memento ink pad for about £3.95. You can use the Memento dew drops also

Padingtondoo Mr postie is on the way I think i caught last post but you never know with the crappy service i get :rotfl:. Your cat is funny

Leia Will get yours sent off, i had an extra pile here and now know where they were to go :rotfl:

Wifey I need to PM you

Nici

Thanks for all the hugs ladies and sending big hugs right back at you - takes two to hug properly after all
I can hardly think straight tonight so I'm going to go off to bed now and listen to sone tunes on my ipod (if I whack the volume up to full I can still actually hear it, quite a weird experience for me!).
Maybe tommorow i'll try and get my dd to make some ATC's for swaps and then I can make some too. I can shut everything else out when I'm crafting but I worry when I'm looking after the kids alone incase anything happens to them and I don't notice if I'm focussed on crafts...:eek:
Wishing you all a restful sleep whenever you eventually fall into bed. Rusty I really hope you manage to get some sleep and relief from all your pain.
Thank you ladies for all being here and being so patient and understanding. I really do appreciate it.

Thanks alot Rusty - just off to have a look now - lol at you being tempted to buy more stuff!!!!

Oh no, I went missing again! My 'pooter has been poorly again. We had a power cut for a couple of minutes yesterday so OH switched 'pooter off. Later on when he switched it back on it didn't want to play and when he eventually got it back on it refused to go online. We were warned a few weeks ago it's probably on it's last legs. Our 'pooter man's wife was rushed into hospital with a brain tumour a couple of weeks ago, operated on and has just come out so he needs to be her 24 hour carer so we weren't expecting him to be able to help us. OH phoned him to see if he could recommend anyone else but he managed to find half an hour to pop over tonight while I was out and when I came back about an hour ago my 'pooter is back on :T. He's recommended we start looking for another one as this problem isn't going to go away. It's only been 24 hours but I didn't 'arf miss it!

I couldn't even make a card yesterday or today as I've run out of DST and waiting for the postie to bring me some. My Promarkers are on their way from CCW but I had an email to say that two of them are out of stock .

So I'm all behind with the forum again .

Louby Not much of your birthday left but I hope you've had a great day.

Giggle Congratulations on your grandson.

I have only skimmed through all the pages since yesterday and it looks like some big huggies are need so if you're in need please accept one from me.

I'm hoping to catch up on blogs tomorrow (I might even catch up on the housework as well :rotfl: ).

Right that's the blender pen, promarkers and ink pad ordered so spendy elves need to get lost now!!!

Oh and hotel in Marrakech booked also!!!!

TomsMum - sorry to hear of your computer woes, are you able to leave it on all the time? I only suggest leaving it on as I had a similar problem with my old one and yes, it did fail eventually. Luckily my tech chap managed to get everything I needed off it & I hope you have time to get yours sorted.

PONR - Glad your holiday is now sorted
