    That is really good then mel if you are just cutting down and have lost that much weight. My best friend has lost 3 stone by just cutting back but i don't know how. It doesn't seem to make any difference for me.

    I have blogged the craft fair bits. Need to find some challenges for the cards i did before i blog them.

    Oh tired mom . I'm so pleased it made it in one piece. We bought all the princesses one as eagle eyed Kaitlyn spotted them and loved them. We were thinking the same they'll be great for pics of them in their princess outfits.

    Kaitlyn went to an ugly bug ball at school today she loved it. Carly has to go in football kit on wednesday and her pyjamas on friday . lol

    Dawnteabag that scrapbook is lovely i got 2 boy ones it was all they had. One was 3.99 and the other was 1.99 as the box was torn but everything was in it and the album was still clean so fab bargains .

    Nici can't believe that lad did that, I agree with Crafty JuJu you should have blared your horn

    Rusty congratulations on your weight loss, you and your OH are doing fab

    Crafty JuJu I have been looking at a metoyou sampler, what one are you sewing?

    Can't get onto blogger at work, well I can open it but so slow and it's not uploading any pictures so will try and catch up later in the week when I am off work. I am trying not to order anymore stuff but I think I need some more flowers from wildorchidcrafts... well I don't have aby lilac so I need to dont I :D

    Hiya!
    I got a boy one too - they were the only ones they had but such good value for £3.99.
    The album I've decorated was a different one - it was plain with a brown paper type finish that was just shouting out to be 'altered'. It's not got any plastic wallets so is more like the old school t'scrapbooks I had when I were a lass.

    Lol i remember those ones too.

    Why can't i just move to the us lol. My ds no 2 moved to the us and he's working in target at the moment and he keeps tormenting me telling me about all the stuff they have i'd love and he said their storage things are just fab. :(
