    Jailhousebabe - I've not got a clue how I managed it...it was one of those things where i'd be doing one thing then think of something else that needed doing...I just kept going. Emily suffered for it though & didn't have much mummy & daughter time but I'll def make it up to her tomo as I have no housework :D

    Tierd Mom - I'm exhausted now, thinking its bed time after 24, I am enjoying the glass of wine thankyou :) I looovvveee the pink card, the papers, the butterfly, the colours, all gorgeous :D

    Samm - your stitching is gorgeous, I wish I had the patience :) I won't be doing much tomo apart from giving Emily my attention while Alex is at school to make up for today :)
    :wave:Hi, I have a passion for crafting.......I'm always up to something :rotfl::rotfl:

    :j I have found the key to weight loss.....ZUMBA :j

    I've blogged tonight's cards - had no idea what I was gonna make so decided to just pull random bits out of my paper drawer and see where it went lol!

    That tiger is gorgeous sammr - as you'll be sooooooooo good at it by the time you've finished can I post you my brand new shiny kit that I just had to buy about 7 years ago and haven't touched (along with about 20 others :o) I will pick up my needle!!!

    I love your cards Tired Mom - especially the last one that flutterby is lovely.
    I'm so jealous of all you've got done today JuJu my house is a tip at the mo and I'm working nearly full time for the next 4 weeks :mad:.

    What's everyone doing for mother's day - DD has asked me what I would like but it just wouldn't happen - a day off - not one where I get to do all the work on another day but a proper one where them pair do the housework, tidying etc etc - what do you think the odds are of that :rotfl::rotfl:.

    Sh3ri3 - My best crafting tool would have to be my robo but before I had that it was my cuttlebug!! I do still use my bug but not very often now!

    The-Wife - How can people just not turn up to interviews?? you would think they would be over the moon to even be offered a job with how things are in the economy at the minute! :eek:

    Rainmac - Wow thankyou for the link, I couldn't see why others were saying congrats! :eek: I am quite shocked!! ... glad to hear your little people are feeling better, If the pox are scabbed over then they should be fine to go back to normality! Hope you aren't feeling too caged!! :eek: xxx

    Craftygranny - Glad he is doing fine. Wow your house sounds full with all the people in it, but I bet once they all start moving out and stuff then you will enjoy some peace and quiet and some more crafting time like you said!

    TiredMom - Hope your visit to the chiropractors went ok. I keep thinking about phoning one and asking if it would be a good idea for me? or if there is anything at all they could do for me, they are quite expensive though aren't they?

    Dragonllew - Thankyou for the link to the freebie!

    Sammr - hope your head isn't as pickled anymore!

    Ali - Want to come and do my ironing? Thanks for the info about acard4u, have you ordered from these before?

    Rainmac - I ordered them papers earlier from bunny zoes :eek: they look lovely!

    Paddingtondoo - Thankyou for the link to the kit :)

    Craftyjuju - Wow you have been busy!! :eek:

    JHB - Thanks, I hung the washing out twice and cleared up in the living room but overdid it and was shouted at and sent back to bed, I slept most of the afternoon and then was woken up for tea which OH had cooked :D bless him. He is now driving upto aberdeen, my aunt and gran are coming to visit for the day tomorrow and then bunbun is visiting thursday and then OH is coming home thursday night to have DD so I can go to the [strike]butchers[/strike] Dentist!

    Tiredmom - Beautiful cards, can you tell me what the paper is on the bottom pink one? (has birds on it?)

    Wow sorry for the long post!! still haven't caught up with blogs sorry :(

    Don't worry there are still parts of my house that looks like a tip..just a clean tip now :D lol

    I'm working overtime Mothers Day 10-4.15pm! I have dropped the hint about breakfast in bed before I go, but I'm not counting my chickens!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I should be so lucky if any housework shall be done! Fingers crossed for you :)

    On the Saturday I was thinking of having Mum down & make a cream tea & use my lovely new cake stands :D

    Just 5? :rotfl: you must be mad!! or live in a mansion! I have seen how much stash you have and then there is more than 5 of you there!! :eek:

    OH works in Dyce and has a flat share also in Dyce. He aint happy up there but until he can find another job closer to home then it is something we have to put up with.

    I need to do my ironing :rotfl: OH bought me a MS punch for doing it last week and week before, but I need to do it again this week cause I have spent a fortune on craft stash !!
