    Can anyone suggest where I can get some dirt cheap pillar candles from?

    Do you have a B&M bargains nearby? They have all that kind of stuff - failing that I have a huge bag of tealights that you could stick together if you wanted

    Seriously if anyone wants any tea lights I have some that will be going to the charity shop very shortly so would rather they went to a good home :D

    sorry my smilies aren't working coz I'm downloading a load of Nitwits papers as they have a huge sale on for the next couple of days

    Ali.b - I print backing paper onto 160gms paper (same as I use for images) I found if I used 'ordinary' copier paper it wrinkled when I stuck it down. Congratulations on your win:j

    Georgie - :j Congratulations - a HUGE relief for you, I bet.

    Vic - so sorry your OH didn't get the job - things have surely got to start getting better for you soon. ((Hugs))

    rainmac - thanks for the Meljens link

    Padster - thanks for heads up about Nitwit papers

    Hey gals there will be no crafting for me today mother nature has been ever so kind and sent her monthly gift lol so I am as grumpy as hell and not wanting to move from the couch.

    Just watched that documentary by Jameila on Single Mums and was so shocked. I must have been living in a bubble cause I did not realise just how bad people view single parents. The treatment of single mums over the years made me cry,its disgusting.

    The kids have gone back to skool, is it time to put the Christmas smilies on? Who's seen Christmas wrapping paper? Who's got their tree up?
