morning ladies, hope you are well - sunny day here - my son has been harping on about warhammer and has saved up loads of pocket money so we are off to games workshop for him to spend it - another expensive hobby in the B household!!! lol
vic - ooh fingers crossed for your hubby.
rainmac - glad the drs went well with your son. Hope the results come back showing nothing to worry about xx lol - at paypal - yes what happens with paypal stays with paypal ( she says after my little spend last night!!)
rainbow - not ordered direct from basic grey direct - have you tried uk sellers (are they in america??) or ebay or fb for basic grey products might be cheaper than direct from them??
Right off to rally the troops - catch you later xx0 -
Nice sunny day, we're off to have coffee and cakes for a belated treat for my dad's birthday. He spent yet another day at the hospital on his actual birthday so I strongly requested my mum and dad had a day off to have a breather and see us. They are both diabetics but will ignore that for the homemade cakes they sell at the garden centre we're going too

Have a good day everyone x:wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:0 -
Thanks for the advice; I started looking at the Big Shot!
Has anyone ordered from basicgrey.com before? I can't work out the delivery charges; I don't think it says unless I enter card details?!
I tend to buy my Basic Grey online from The Glitterpot or Crafty Emma's Store, quick delivery

Had some great news this afternoon, social services have arranged for my nan to be allowed a place at a care home in Norwich for 3-4 weeks whilst the social services team where she lives asseses her needs fully and sorts out what is going to happen long-term. Yippee, a bit of a break for my poor mum and dad x:wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:0
