craftygranny sending you big ((((((HUGS))))) 'cos that is awful! I sometimes moan about living miles from nowhere cos we don't have many young 'uns here, it's a bit like G*d's Waiting Room. But I can understand how you feel.

Hi all,

So sorry for being AWOL. Been mega busy trying to get DT work sorted and also my Dad and Stepmum have been with us for 2 days :j I can't believe how lovely it was to spend time with them!! last time I saw them was my grans funeral so was nice for them to come and see the house we live in and spend time without it being a sad time so to speak! Hopefully be able to keep up now!! ... Still have over 600 blog posts to catch up on, please don't think I am being ignorant if I don't comment on them all, I try and comment on the more recent cards but some are from last week and there is so many!! :eek:

Skiergirl - Nice to see you popping back on here, have missed you!! xxx sorry to hear your bad news xxx sending hugs!

Madfrog - Sounds like bad news your end aswell, got everything crossed for you and yours!

Rainmac - Sorry to be a pain but did you send me some photos? haven't recieved anything here yet

Flourgirl - Thankyou for my damaged envelope ... and the buttons!! (kids said they love you cause you send nice things for us all in the post!!) and for my pearls I love them! xxx

Elysia - Can I ask how many pretzel bags you need? I could send you some if you want?

Craftygranny - How rude!!! If they had of said that to me I would have slapped them!! whoops! Did you have your scooter? you could have run them over!

KMS - I am the same, I was taught to respect my elders and bring my children up to do the same .... However I am furious if the "old" folk aren't polite etc, I will say something ... generally along the lines of you older folk expect respect from us younger generation, but you have no respect for us!

Rainmac - New furniture? wow lucky you! :j hope your OH got it up ok for you ... can I send my ironing? I need to do some this week but not got around to it as yet!!

Caroln - Suitcases are better ... you can fit more heavy thing sin them lol ... I took one on wheels last year so I am one of them I am afraid! I am supposed to be going up on saturday .... still trying to sort out plans :mad: My ex is being a plonka :mad:

Gemm - Well done on your temping job :j

Flourgirl - Coutdown calendar sounds fantastic!! I cant wait to see it xx How is your other grandchild?

Jellybaby - Hope your op goes ok, I am sure you will be fine xxx

Can't remember anything else Sorry

Will blog some pictures over the weekend of my dads visit. And I got a phonecall yesterday, from the local Wilkos, ordering a nappy cake LOL ... they are one of my best customers and rarely give me any more than a days notice!! This time a blue 2 tier cake which I delivered today :j more money in the xmas box! woohoo!

Marg

Craftygranny - Well Done you for reporting them! I find youths in gangs like that intimidating enough without them being so rude too.

Here's a little funny, a few weeks ago I was waiting in town at nearly 6pm for DH to pick me up by car. I was laden with shopping, there were no passers by and I became aware of a young man on the other side of the road grinning & watching me.:eek: I felt very uneasy and carefully shifted my shoulder bag across my body so he couldn't grab it, he continued to stare & grin and I got more anxious but didn't want to move from my meeting point as I couldn't get in touch with DH. This went on for some time....... I looked around for a refuge - Imagine how daft I felt when I realised I was stood a couple of doors from a hair salon and he hadn't been grinning at me at all but his girlfriend who was the receptionist!!! He'd come to meet her out of work.

Jellybaby - hope all goes well for you tomorrow.

Madfrog - hope all goes well with the pacemaker

OAP - What I find worst about all this technology lark is the sheer frustration of knowing the (usually simple) solution should be within our grasp and the way youngsters who know the answer say, "oh it's because XYZ" but fail to give a thorough explanation so I'm no further forward next time. That said, have you asked on the techie thread on here - they can be very helpful?

SX515W/Wifey's printer did the biz on Centura pearl card last night and on some hammered card from Papermill Shop and all printed edge to edge. Am I pleased? Yeppers! I still have to give the really thick stuff ago and I'm pleased with the way it prints in draft mode, the paper literally flies across the room.

It doesn't take a lot to make me a happy bunny.

Marg

Wifey - Ooooo! I'm really tempted by one of those printers now - I've already got a spare HP one waiting - wonder if I could persuade my boss we need one at work then I can sell it to them & get a new SX515W for me.

If you're on facebook there's a comp running by Cardmaking & Papercraft - just think of a number........

THE-WIFE_3

Marg, I was really disappointed in the HP printer I had, no matter what setup I tried with various card even HP card (ouch! rotten expensive) it just would not print completely edge to edge on anything other than paper. I asked in our local computer shop and they seemed to think it was the way the paper feeds. This new one feeds from the back whereas the HP fed from the front. OH loves it as he can print from downstairs on his lappy and I end up trotting down his prints to him, Result!, he reckons.

The HP is now sitting on my desk and bossman says to get myself a set of inks for the epson in exchange.
