Morning all,

Just another quick one from me, Hope all of the poorlies are feeling better?

Rainmac how are your boys?

Craftygranny - Is your twin settling in back home?

Choccy - Fab news on your DT call!! well done you! :j :j

Well I am still not good, but OH has stayed home and I am under strict orders to stay in bed all day :eek: for some this would be bliss but I know I have so much to get done that I am desperate to get cracking!! also DD isn't too impressed that mummy wasn't allowed to get out of bed to get her ready for nursery, but I bribed her and she let OH sort her out! :rotfl: she did keep sneaking up the stairs to jump in bed with me for a cuddle though!

Has anyone seen the new releases from DCWV? Natural stack and also Linen stack? I ordered them yesterday from the glitterpot :j 8x8 pads for £12.99 instead of the usual £15 most places charge!! also went a tad crazy on some house mouse stamps from craftsulove and spent a fortune at craftie charlie (although that is half bunbuns!) Oh and I bought the kids a 9ft slide for the garden, just need to persuade OH that they needed a bigger slide and hope he doesn't go mad!! Had a fabby weekend, apart from the pain that is! spent 4 hours in toys r us on sat and came home with a boot full of toys!! :eek: but for once I really don't care! I enjoyed myself and so did the kids :j

I will blog hop later on

Is there a number for the NEC yet? last time I heard it was 14?? is this still right?

I know i havnt posted in a while but part 4!!!

Have been blog hopping, some amazing things on show. Well done Choccy!!

I have a question for you all, What is the big crafting tool that you couldnt be without??

For my Birthday OH has said i can pick my present as he wouldnt know where to begin and wanted to get me something craft related. I have been looking at the cropadile for ages, but also want a cuttle bug and soooo many other things ive seen.

rusty, I hope you get some respite from your painful back soon.

:mad: I am an unhappy bunny 'cos I am in work on my day awf as we've got job interviews all day and three in a row have not turned up, not even the curtesy of a call. I'm sure that some of the half men/half mattress people don't get out of bed for less than a certain amount even when there's prospects of a full time job.

GET OFF YOUR SOAPBOX! WIFEY :mad:

Cuttlebug and dies as you can do so much with it. I've got a cropadile but all I use it for is punching holes etc, doesn't get a lot of use at all. A scoring board would be good, The Martha Stewart one people are raving about at the moment. Its good if you like to score your own cards etc.

Rusty Hope you feel better really quickly, will look on the sites to see wot you bought later, they sound really good.
There is a sale of up to 60% on lots of sets at Printable Heaven at the mo until next Monday 15th March

Would have to say my cuttlebug I use it for nearly every card.

I don't have a die cutter but the best thing I have ever bought craftwise is my XCut 12 inch guillotine. It is fantastic and I score card using it as well.

Choccy, wow lady, :T :T :T huge well done :j :j :j, I'm so thrilled for you, you're famous and I've been to the NEC with you twice!!! I'll be walking round in March saying to everyone, have you met my lovely friend Oona, she's on a design team I'm also the very proud owner of some of your fantastic cards

Rusty, so glad you are able to have a day of complete rest - make sure you take full advantage You need to get your cyber bum over to this blog NOW :j :j :j

TheWife, how could people just not turn up for an interview, that's so out of order. I'm going to look for a job for when DS2 starts school in September 2011 so keep me in mind - I work damn hard but only want to work school hours and have the holidays off. Who the hell is going to employ me?

Sammr, so sorry you and OH are poorly. I've parceled some bits up to send you but won't be able to get to the PO until later in the week x

I've got 15 on the NEC list (sorry Jailhouse missed you off somehow even though I knew you were coming ). List is here.

My monkeys are better today, DS2 has now had a few doses of anti-biotics and that seems to be doing the trick, along with copious amounts of cold drinks and lollies. Not sure how I'm going to know that they are free from chickenpox??? DS1 has a few spots that haven't blistered. I may try and get them to the docs tomorrow for someone to look at them and tell me if they are over it or not so they and I can rejoin civilisation

Huge to everyone xxx
