    Hi Cat,

    Check out Vistaprint. We had lovely postcards made. Design one and keep it in your basket. Every day they send you an offer "order today and get 10% off" kinda thing until eventually (about a week later) they offer you them for free as long as you pay the postage. Ours were £4.22 for 100.

    I don't know why I've ended up spending half the night sleeping on the sofa :eek: and have only just properly woken up and feel very not with it :-s....

    Hope everyone is well.....Today is Sabbath for me so not a lot gets done apart from the fact that I try and make it a NSD (cos that's breaking the Sabbath)

    Hugs
