A huge thank you to you all for the birthday wishes, the virtual cakes, comments on my blogs and the real, honest to goodness birthday cards from Scatty and Marg xxxxxxxx

I have had a rather mellow day and even though I was in work, it was actually very nice. I was taken out to lunch, by 2 of my colleagues, and I am currently waiting for son no 1 to arrive home who is treating me to a chinese.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Happy Birthday Georgiegirl , posted your card today sorry it's late, you share a birthday with my DH and I was running so late with making his cards that I forgot to post yours off.

Has anybody used the Cricut design studio, is it worth the money? I gather it works the same as the gypsy but 1/4 of the price and you can use your own computer!

Vici - I'm sure I read somewhere that cricut were coming up with something similar that would be free to all (might have seen it on the provocraft facebook page) so it's probably worth waiting - which is what I'm doiing. I've been wanting to buy the Sure Cuts A Lot software for a while - but have decided to hold off until I know what it is that provocraft are getting ready to release.

Found it - it's going to be called Cricut Craft Room

Given that it was less than the price of a cartridge I downloaded the SCAL software the other day. My sister has confirmed she's giving me the George and Basic Shapes cartridge, so it could be that I never need to buy a cartridge.

Does anybody know what support Provocraft provide to those who don't buy new machines? And indeed what is the best website to research such things?

Ali and Marg, the job is checking the validity/ appropraiteness of search engine results. Sounds rather dull but fits in with my mummy role beautifully so I can't complain x

Mel, can you take the dress back and use the £ for stash instead?

I made a HUGE jug of pancake batter and then only managed to grab one from my greedy gang! We had one of DS1's friend's for tea and he had maple syrup, lemon & sugar AND chocolate spread all on the same pancake. He liked it so much he had another of the same :eek:

I am currently up to my eyes organising the preschool easter egg hunt as when I asked for a volunteer from the committee to organise it, nobody came forward :mad:
