I'm after the rubber stamp for the bird wearing a crown (second pic down on right hand side). I have found a clear stamp for it from Prima inc on Ebay, but I'm really after a rubber stamp to replicate it.

I'm sure someone must know exactly who makes it!

On closer inspection it may be two separate stamps....

Yes, it definitely looks like two separate stamps Kings. I hope you manage to find them, or something similar.

Bunbun - hang on a mo. I'll go have a look. ETA: Does your surname being with a D? If so I think you missed the goody bag, but they said they are sending runners up a little prize too. I should email them. I won't do any harm.

Twinkle - I hope your foot gets better soon. How are things hun? Did they sort anything out with your diagnosis?

Michelle - I hope you did manage to get a nap, and that your headache doesn't materialise into something worse. Not much going on here. It's all quiet, I should have a rest today.

Savvy - did you message FP and ask for a new card? It's not happened to me, but I've heard they are brilliant at replacements if you're not satisfied. DD1 was pleased about that BS foundation. It was just the right shade as well. Did you like yours, have you tried it?

Rufus - I love the colours of your new quilt. It's so zesty, and uplifting. Your DD seems to be enjoying herself on hols

Who have I forgot? let me think.... Oh Knit, so sorry.

Are you relieved you've (almost) finished now, or are you more excited about what's to come?
DD1 had her school trip to the Zoo. That cost £11.00. I think of it being half price, as I was a helper so I went too. I don't think I'd volunteer again - it always seems to be the same parents over and over again.

Did you get the message on FB about the Goodybags? Nicky did you get yours too? Apparently they messaged everyone twice, but FB was playing up. If you go back to that page, they posted an email addy to contact them directly. Hang on a mo, I'll go find it. Here it is. If you message him your name and address, he'll get the gift in the post to you.

No, I didn't get the message from them either so I emailed him last night and I've had a reply today. He agreed I was 8th and asked for my address so I should get one too :T. I wonder what will be in it? Thanks for posting it on here as I wouldn't have known about it otherwise.

School trips - I don't understand asking for payment for treat trips, surely the whole point of it is that it is a treat that children have earnt and shouldn't be dependent on whether their parents can afford it or not. At my school we ask for voluntary contributions for educational trips but treat trips are free.

I think I was number 21 on shopping.com:( although I am sure there weren't that many before me when I put my comment on yesterday!
at least I know where to look next time!

Bunbun - it's ok. There is a message saying a few 'runners up' would still get gifts. It doesn't do any harm to check.

Nicky - I'll probably be a mug or something with the shop.com logo on - but you never know

Evening all

Anyone waiting on Amazon vouchers from T, I just checked mine and had two waiting for me!! Usually been only getting one a month but two this month so only have one outstanding now. Just added them to my account and have nearly £90 in there now, that will buy most of my Christmas presents I am still outstanding.

Didn't manage my nap, as Ds2 was so grumpy. He was worn out too after being at nursery all afternoon.

I just managed to get them into bed, and I can't see me being too late tonight myself. I took some tablets for my head and it cleared a bit, but still there. I think i am just over tired. Good to have DY back. I managed to get 1 review on before getting the kids bathed. They were so filthy. I could do with a soak myself I think. So worn out and unfit. I bet I ache tomorrow.
