    Starnac it was lovely, i make cards myself so i know just how much effort goes into them. and it's nice to receive a hand made one myself when it's often me who's doing the making.

    can't believe just how domesticated i was today, i cleaned through most of the house today which feels good. Mr LT picked up a bookcase that i'd reserved and we put it up so i got to start unpacking my scrapbooking boxes. I've now unpacked 8 with a few more to go, there's still some essential supplies missing so i know there's more boxes left. Stuff hasn't really been put in its new home, just put 'somewhere'. Hopefully i'll get to finish the boxes tomorrow and find homes for things, fingers crossed i'll even get chance to start making stuff. yay!

    hope everyone is enjoying their long weekends.

    thanks Taxi that's really kind of you to say.

    i've now unpacked another 4 boxes and started to put stuff in it's new home, still got lots of sorting out to do so i'm going to do bits each night. There's still stuff missing so there must be some boxes left to unpack, i think i remember them as being the last minute scrabble boxes so i just need to find them.

    that is the biggest part of the battle Taxi, finding homes for things so you don't end up moving them constantly around. You were up late hope you got some sleep in the end.

    Oh, you're in, and you're onto the craft room?? *slaps own wrist for not being around more*

    That's so fab - and so snuggly-lovely (is too a phrase). A whole month, you say? Unpacked the chocolate yet? *raises nose to the air, and sniffs*

    Chocolate was unpacked first Nora. That goes in the box with the kettle, 2cups, tea bags and milk, which then gets put on the passenger seat and is the first box into the house and unpacked! :rotfl:

    lol Starnac too true!
    Nora there's not much chocolate wise the in the house at the moment i'm awaiting instructions/permission to start a radical new diet from which all food (including chocolate because apparently it's not a medication?????) is excluded. I can imagine things getting a little tetchy in the LT when the go ahead is given to say the least!
