flourgirl You got the blame all the way there lol. He said you should all keep quiet about bargains . So i asked him if he liked paying 4.oo for 50 sheets of card to keep me quiet and he said point taken. Maybe thats why he bought the other 4 lol.

oap He must think he qualifies as a kid as i've seen him with a fudge and a crunchie already.

Woops! Sorry Craftygrandad at least you got some choccy.

Craftygranny my DH always says "Oh anything for a quiet life"

Mind you we bought a 42" plasma tele last week and I've been blamed for it being too big!! I didn't even want one!!!

I'm back - DD has her new phone and has unfortunately found out how to send texts I've had about 10 so far.

If the piriton doesn't work on the boys rainmac - take some yourself I've found it sends me straight off to sleep :rotfl:.

Well done Melissa on your win - sorry missed it whilst I was away and on your freebies craftygran.

We had exactly the same conversation when we brought our 42 inch plasma home flourgirl- wouldn't even fit into the boot of our (407 estate) car with enough roo for DD to sit in the back she had to crouch on the floor on the way home from Hull - she hid under coats on the way across the bridge .

Talking of DD - I had to park in a disabled space when I picked up the chinese (her birthday treat tea) on Friday as it was the only one available even though I drove round twice - there was a police car a few cars down and the officer was in the takeaway next to the car. I came back from the Chinese she said it's all ok the police lady waved at me mummy so I waved back pretending to be disabled What on earth have I brought up!!!!

Flourgirl - I love your monkeys and bunnies, and what a lovely thing to do for rainmac's boys.

Glittermum - looks you and I are using the same butterfly stamp, I love your altered frame.

I think I've caught up with everyone and left comments on blogs, hopefully I've not missed anyone.

glittermum - I stamped and dusted a few images last night and made a card with one of them today, its fun seeing the image appear when you start brushing the powder over it I have been 'fixing' mine with hairspray like when I use chalks, it does seem to reduce the amount that comes off on your hands when you touch it afterwards. loving them so far and the flower silhouette stamps I bought look great, will have to play with the rest of my stamps too your altered photo frame is completely stunning, it looks so professional!! huge well done xx

dragonllew love that mothers day card with your handmade flower :T

bunbun your mothers day boxcard is gorgeous!!

rusty well done on your win!!

rainmac hope your littlies get over their illnesses, they havent had a good time of it so far this year have they! xx and well done to your DS1 on his grading dont have any chocolate to sling your way unfortunately but do have a homemade scone that I made today
