    Ooh, congrats to all these April babies! :bdaycake: Cake anyone??

    We have gone through all the birthdays in our house now until November, so no need to think of pressies here for a while. :D I have a friend with a birthday on the 28th...so must get my finger out as I plan on making her something :o.


    Looks like we will be having rain the rest of the week...hoping for short April showers so I can get more gardening done!! Mind you, if it rains, I could get some sewing/knitting/x-stitch done instead!


    Enjoy the rest of the week folks...even if it does rain :)

    Looks as though I missed the boat this time but for future reference - beginning of March. Gives people time to save up after Christmas. ;)

    I'm just off to work but Martin's latest Facebook post refers to this:
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/watchdog/
    and says something about rogue traders... don't know if it's going to be any help or not and haven't time to find out so am leaving it for your delectation! :)
