Bunny zoos crafts has dies & punches at 20% off making nests £13.59 for most, plus obviously others! Just though I would give a heads up

Rusty - well done on your weightloss, that's fab. Can I please ask a couple of questions about the robo? If I bought one could I do away with my Bigshot and dies - in other words can the robo cut things like my nesties. If so why I haven't I bought one before - I've probably spent as much on dies as I would've a Robo!!

Also, is it difficult to use and do you need to buy any extra bits n bobs for it and are they expensive? TIA

Won't be around much today as I've got a hospital appointment today for an investigation and then a biopsy - not looking forward to it, just hope that in this heat I don't make a complete idiot of myself by fainting.

I have got both of them Rusty i dont think the big dies would work in the Cuttlebug but i could be wrong i dont have the robo i think that one would beat me lol but i do have the Cricut and i love him :A

I'm fairly confident that they don;t work with the cuttlebug.

I have the tags bags and boxes cart for the cricut - am sure that has a shaker box in it but I had no idea what they were - will have to have a little play.....

Not sure I could use a circuit, plus it annoys me that you pay so much for a machine like that then have to buy things like cartridges to cut and they are quite expensive, I guess in time some of the older ones will drop! Can you create your own files with the circuit or not? I know it works on scal?

You can use SCAL and some other ptogram that I've completely forgotten the name of with the cricut. When I eventually gt around to replacing my pc with a laptop I'll probably give that a go.

The carts are expensive but you can pick them up much cheaper than RRP on ebay etc. I've had them for less than £20 before but did pay £32 for one I've been wanting for ages. I've told myself it's not expensive because that one ahs scalloped squares and circles on it so it would have cost me £30 each for the nesties for those.

Morning,

I have been wondering how you make nesties for the robo, I'm still getting used to it and have not really had time to play, I have downloaded a few freebie for it, may get around to having a bit of a play today or will take the lappy out to Mums and have a play on the software when the children are having team,
I am taking the children to Dartmoor Zoo in a minute so hopefully the weather will hold out for us,

take care Jo x

Wanna B - sorry to hear you are off to the hospital I hope everything goes a lot better than you expect. If you tell them you are likely to faint they take a bit of extra care & let you lie down - well they do with me Take care x

DTB :wave: How is your son & heir today? Feeling better I hope......

Rusty - well done on more weight loss, keep up the good work 2 dress sizes! Wish I could do that.

Jowri - Have a lovely time at the zoo - its ages since I went there.

Well done our winner :j- the challenge blogs are starting look like a who's who of MSE:D

Marg - thank you for your good wishes. My problem is I lay down feel fine and when I stand up I go without warning, feel such a fool when it happens!

I'd best jump in the shower and make tracks I s'pose. Only good thing is I have to take things easy for a few days, so what am I going to do to occupy my time?? hmmmm I know Craft:D
