:jWelcome to all the new comers & welcome back
:TCongratulations to the winners :T

Well its been a very wet day here in Derbyshire today, I'm not going to complain though as the garden was in need of some good rain Hope it stops for tomo morning though as its Alex's sports day tomo & he's looking forward to it so much as he's in the running They have said if its not tomo it will be next week! (fingers crossed)

Made a couple special orders up today & some new domino tiles, should be doing the housework but everytime I get up I go dizzy, even while sat! So I thought I'd have a sit down day with Emily & get on with them.....if you'd like nosey at them you know where to find them :rotfl: (hint begins with a 'B'! :A) x

Hugs, love & best wishes to all, time to go start bedtimes x

Mel - your card is stunning. I've added you to the list. x

Lizzy - sorry meant to answer you earlier re the printer - I've got a wireless Epson (as have a couple of the other ladies on here) and can highly recomend it. The replacement cartridges are really cheap and the fact it has 4 cartridges means that you get a better print quality and its more economical. It also takes card and canvas (I've also been known to run ribbon through it).

WBR - which model is that please? I'm dithering over getting a new printer. My DS got an Epson from Tesco recently but it was totally naff and had to go back. My very very old Epson, deceased for many a year, was very clunky and noisy. Is yours? DS said the one he returned was like that too but the main reason it went back is that no matter how he tried it would not take the paper in straight and everything came out printed skewiff.

Epson SX515W - not the quietest printer in the world (I had a brother one before this which I loved, but it died earlier this year:(), but it prints straight. I do quite a bit of masked printing with sentiments and digi images and only once did the text not hit the right spot and that was my fault - I didn't put the paper in straight! It's also a top loader so you can get thicker card through it as it doesn't have to grab and feed iyswim.
