Rainmac - I normally don't find many bargains in there - well apart from the normal offers so I was really happy with my walkie talkies - Brandon is a huge transformer fan so he'll be happy on his birthday!!

Hassy - well - where do I start???? First they started demoing some punch sets - it went on for ages and all the samples they were showing were from one set - one that was new in stock - then they couldn't decide whether that set was actually for sale or not. They sorted that out after about 10 mins - then they couldn't decide if something was new in stock or had sold out last time it was on air. It was just really disorganised!! It was a shame too I really like Martha Stewart's stuff but it was all stuff that I had seen before. I was going to order a set of glitters because it was free postage but by the time I'd found my account number and helped OH dish up his tea the postage offer had finished!

Pointofnoreturn - that's great news about your Auntie!

Nici - I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better!

CGcockcroft - sending you big hugs!

Melissa Sounded an entertaining show...?? I thought the stuff on the 6pm show was same same from the show they had in Feb.. I got the punches in that show cos they had a really good deal on.. I must admit, I thought the glitters were nice, they didn't seem to be able to shift the tinsel glitters tho, they had the same trouble last Feb...

I was naughty today tho and got some Debbi Moore funky diva stamps and new cd from C&C with them having 20% off.. I had been waiting for the stamps to become available.. I think they are really cool..
Hunkydory at Inspirations in Preston have a fab 4 days organised from tomorrow, they are having loads of demonstrators in store, and Leonie from C&C is there on Sun.. .. trouble is, after much planning of going to visit, best laid plans have been dashed.. I will be taking DS1 on a 5 hour car journey to collect his stuff from his house at uni tomorrow, returning late sat, I may be able to go on sun sometime.. no , I WILL go on sun sometime..
So I will be out of action on the thread for a short while..
Hope you all take care, and I will be back soon.. x

Another flying visit from me i'm afraid - I don't seem to have time to do anything recently!

Anyway popping on to say thank you to Glittermum for the stamped images they truely are lovely and I really want some now but how an earth did you chose between all of them? Your card was really pretty too - I love the colour and design x

Rusty I had a look at the paper I used on your card and it was from a DCWV pack that was given as a gift from the lovely Steph whose card crop we went to before Christmas. I used another piece from that set on a card, I think it had bird cages on and someone recognised it as (I think) as Nana's Kids. If anyone has seen any of these papers, there's a picture on my blog, please can you let us know.

Ooh that was me! They are from the DCWV Stack 6 that was recently reduced at WHSmtihs x

Oh no!!! So glad you are ok, well as ok as you can be, metal can be replaced, you can't!! Try and relax and let it out of your system. Just remember to try and get back behind the wheel as soon as possible! (otherwise you might not do it again!)

PONR - Sounds like good news for your Aunt!! hope she recovers from her op soon x

Lizzaloareds - Ah you went the other way to me, All of my 12x12 papers are in an 18 litre RU box, well nearly all of them I have just bought another one cause that one is about full!! I wasn't sure if the dividers which hung would hold the weight of my papers!

The-Wife - Thanks! I looked at them papers a few weeks back and decided I wasn't keen on them ... but now I might need them lol

Nici - Well done you, sounds like things are starting to look up for you!

Craftygranny - Was it boots online or instore you picked up the cheap dora sets please?

Hassy - enjoy your show! Shame your plans were dashed but least you can go on the sunday! take care and remember to come back to us!

Lei - Aha so I do have the paper then as I have that stack in 12x12 which could well save the spendy elves!! Thanks!

The-Wife - Eek 3:27! you must be shattered today! hope you finally managed to rest!

Hope everyone has a good day! I am tired (not as tired as wifey) and can't be bothered to do anything! I am hoping something inspires me but the mood I am in I doubt it lol

I have those papers but didn't recognise them - think I have too much stash - as if :rotfl:

Still stash free but there are new embossing folders out

I will be good I will be good - maybe

Still grey, damp and miserable here - left washing on the line last night - will do it good to get a fresh rainwater rinse
