Ooohhh what a lovely OH you have!!! I've recently bought the Big Shot for £50 from Capture the Magic, p&p was free. I've only used it a few times so far and only for cutting but I love it already as it is so blinking easy to use, no effort needed to cut really.

Thanks Rainmac.
That looks great. I could even afford to get some dies to go with it.
Will let you know what I finally decide. Thanks again for the advice.

Well done on the weight loss ladies that's fab .

Mary good luck on weds for your o/h hope he gets the all clear.

Anyone expecting anything from me will hopefully get it by the weekend . I've been having one of those if it can go wrong it will big style days for the last couple of weeks . Got to go see the docs again i'm having mega problems with my legs and my knees again.

A bigshot!!
Hope you enjoy it. Still havent plucked up the courage to order mine yet!
Rainmac - can you tell me, do any die cuts come with the machine, or should I order some when I get it?

Hi Everyone

I do love my big shot so easy to use and very versatile, well for cutting and embossing anyway, its a bit heavy to carry around, I am off up to Sarah's today for a coffee and stamping session,
catch you all later Jo x

Keep meaning to ask if anyone has heard from Thrifty, JHB or Pepop as it seems like ages since they posted.

I also see JHB posting on facebook but not heard from thrifty or Pepop!, hope they all come back soon.

Rainmac - Glad parcel arrived safely! Need to get the other one in the post to you today hopefully!!

Melissa - your card is beautiful, image is lovely and I think the card is perfect! Well done on your fab weightloss!! :j

Craftyjuju - Thanks! Yes Maddison loved her present, and claims it is better than Thomas's Stiggybank!! Thankyou, I thought I had sent you a message to say thanks?? Where on earth did you find it? I have looked for stuff like that for her but obviously wasn't looking hard enough!

Addams - Fab news that your OH said you can buy a die cutting machine :j bet you are over the moon!

Madfrog - wow a quarry scuba dive?? are you completely mad?? :eek: sounds like fun even if it was cold!! Do you do things like this often?

Mary - good luck for wednesday with the boffins! I shall also be doing the inside out thing!!

CKCockcroft - Wow fantastic weightloss!! wish I was up there at the 2,5 stone mark!! You must be so chuffed!! :j Never heard of David Lloyd? sounds like you are doing fantastically well though!

Craftygranny - Sorry to hear your not well again, fingers crossed your *can go wrong will go wrong* will turn into a better time!! hope you feel better soon!

Jowri - Enjoy your day!

I never got the card made for my dad yesterday!, I have the image mounted and coloured just not done anything else to it! Hopefully DD will let me craft this morning once DS is away to school and that I can get it finished before bunbun comes to visit!! Poor bunbun, I can only offer her Jam sandwiches!! which reminds me I should get some proper bread in for her as I don't think she will appreciate milk roll which I have started getting for the kids :rotfl: Hopefully will have something to blog today!!

Thanks for all the comments and support R.E weightloss it really means a heck of a lot to me! :j

ETA - If I missed comments on anyones blog yesterday can you please shout cause my google chrome played up big time and it all crashed and I ended up losing a lot of blogs I had left open to either comment on or for challenges!! How annoying!

Choccy - envelope arrived yesterday - thank you for begging :rotfl:

Well done everyone on their weightloss :D

Am 2 weeks into my stash diet although have been very tempted :j Have just paid DD's dinner money till the end of term so don't have much cash left now

Rusty - Glad she likes it Its where my mum & her hording comes in handy She had already bought it I think last yr & when we were looking for something for the kiddies I saw it & said I knew the perfect person for this, so she said I could have it
I posted the challange card on my blog but you've already seen it Rusty x

Update on the lady from work! - I want to buy something from her shop & tried emailing her through the shop on sunday, since then have had no word so I have just messaged her again about the item & asked 'what have I done wrong?' Lets see if she gets back to me...I'm not holding my breath!?

Right busy day today helping mum out so prob won't be back till tonight....have a lovely (wet) day xXx
