No you didn't dash off it was definitely time to leave but glad I went later than originally planned as that would have felt too rushed. Really would not have been good staying at Toots with 3 of us in the bath along with the cats water bowl hehehe.

I'm sure the cats wouldn't have minded, and I certainly would have been happy for us all to head back here and giggle the evening away!! Was a brilliant day, thank you again to everyone for making it such a special girly get-together!

evening all! hope everyone having a good day - still struggling with wedding cake designs incorporating John Deere without it looking like a big birthday cake, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh. should have had the designs to her by now but have hit a mental block and when i spoke to her she didnt know what she wanted either.
does anyone know where i can get blank wooden hearts and shapes to make shabby chic christmas decs?

John Deere on a wedding cake????? and I thought yesterday was surreal. what about a tractor with a bride and groom in and the usual "just married" paraphernalia attached to the tractor? what about a trailor at the back with a few wedding guests looking merry? its not an easy theme.
as for wooden hearts maybe something here that you could use perhaps the heart mobile kit at the bottom?

Thanks for the link I'll have a look. I didn't really do much with the challenge I think I just chatted more than anything lol.

thanks for that jo- but been through that -she's already bought the tractor! i dont think she knows what she wants to be quite honest - think i will just make it look like three straw bails!
thanks for the links to the hearts will have a look, and no i dm!idnt see the piccys but i've had a look now and still wished i hadnt seen them!

well done 1 lot of 15 mins housework. plan another in 30 mins and then 1 this afternoon. Hopefully place shud look a bit better by then.
DH has a few bits of music work which should bring us in an extra £100 this month and £210 next month so thats a bit more for the pot.
Hope to do another carboot maybe on saturday and may look at selling some stuff at NCT sale in early October although percentage they take locally is quite high. At least they take the stuff away with them and theres no need to parcel stuff up and post it etc.
New job seems to be going well so far. Think I will enjoy it.
Whats everyone else up to?

Hi Jo and everyone else.
Glad you are enjoying the job and that you had a lovely day with the other dribblers.
I haven't much to report . Had a lovely day on Saturday at the freedom festival in Hull. We saw the Saturdays, Wanted and Alesha Dixon and we saw them again last night on the Heroes concert lol.
Hope everyone is well and happy.

Hi everyone
I'm glad the new job is good, Jo, and it sounds like the dribblers meet was fantastic! Rosie, your concerts sound amazing. Did you get good pictures?

We are trying to find a way home...it's expensive! We have around 60kg to take back, and we came here with Monarch, paying less to book luggage online. Don't really want to fly Ryanair, but looks like we'll have too, and pay airport prices for the excess luggage. Hopefully, we'll fly tomorrow, but there has been no confirmation of anything yet so strictly speaking we are staying put.

Am so looking forward to having a home, whether in Spain or the UK...Just somewhere to belong!

Anyways, hope everyone is having a good day!
