  • I am in me day clothes lol already been out and about today. Been to the library and been and done a little shopping. Got Sinead a balloon for her birthday its one of those self inflating things. I let her have it now even though her birthday is a week on Tuesday. Its actually cool how it does it and even though pound stretcher only have 1 design I may be going back for more. Might have to check out ASDA first, did look on ebay but I had vision of expanding parcels in the sorting office. (dad gave reference to the only fools and horses sketch with the blow up dolls)

    I now have my Aldi sewing machine :D:D:D I'm going to play around with it later on I think, really looking forward to it :)

    I also bought the magazine with the Humphrey stamps and the one with the MME Christmas papers free. Not sure that buying £9 of magazines to get free gifts is economising though :rotfl::rotfl:
  • Need Meerkat images for cards can any one point me in the right direction pls

    Only £9? I spent £16 last week - the Humphrey one, the Polkadoodle kit one and the craftyseller one. But at least the final one may help me recoup some of my costs

    Yoo hoo, (again) - forgot another mention earlier congrats on your win rainmac:T.

    Magazines are my downfall I bought one yesterday, one today - got a subs one yesterday I'd be rich if I stopped buying them - drives hubby mad!!

    Flyin good luck with your sewing machine.
    Quite chuffed just used my big one and finished a cover for some foam - am thinking best not put it back in its box or it wont get used again - think I need a bigger kitchen table on so we can fit it on with all of ds1's warhammer figures and paints - lol.

    Dragonllew glad you are feeling better.

    padster - :rotfl:re your windows/glasses needing cleaning. My windows def need cleaning I keep thinking its foggy out and its not. We sacked our last window cleaner cos he was a bit pants however he is nowhere near as bad as us - I am inspired to go and clean them now - but its raining;) cough! maybe tomorrow:p
