Happy Birthday Shrimpy!
yes ombres is L'oreal.. Speaking of fun work things i am going to an mtv party tonight!
Great news about the extra hours Cinny, even if its only over christmas will really help.
Ruby - i am planning to apply for that too hoping to use it to pay the rest of our honeymoon and then pay it back after wedding. I think it is a good idea as long as you are in a position to pay it back. You can add me on facebook too, will pm you my full name!0 -

We are talking which is good, we had a call yesterday and I told her how I feel, which she has not heard before. I think this has made her think as I was hurting and feeling left out always on the sidelines. We have spent a lot of today talking about general stuff as well as the previous night, so small steps and there is another 5 weeks before she is back.
Previously she said no Christmas present since she was away, but I think I should get her something.
Sorry I am not your friend on FB Tete, I am sure we can fix that.0 -
Ooh lots going on, I am reading but not replying! Shame about the op, but belated happy birthday shrimpy! Glad the craft fair went well Dinah, and hope Grace gets chunky soon. And hooray for ombre, extra hours, holidays, mtv, credit cards and all the other exciting stuff that's happening

Right then ladies and Poolies. I *think* the site is ready to launch. I've integrated it with Facebook, so you should be able to use it either directly within the facebook page at:
https://www.facebook.com/ArtfulDodgerDesigns
Or as a stand alone website at:
http://artfuldodgerdesigns.moonfruit.com/
Currently working on getting my domain moved over so it won't have the moonfruit tag on it.
If anyone has some free time could they have a look, see if things add to cart okay, if the links to facebook, etsy etc work for them, and let me know what you think.
I still have one more finished product to upload, but that's enough to be launching with, and hopefully I can get some more new stuff up this week.

No chance in hell! We got a rip off one from B&Q when we did our kitchen and it's fricken amaze. We're super lazy painters so all we did was clean down the walls and attack with the pad, didn't even have to move things from the sides because there were NO DRIPS!
Really?! I definitely need one in that case! 2013 is going to be the year of the Great Flat Repainting since everything is looking so 'worn in' now but I seriously suck at it and OH's not interested so just leaves me to it then complains when there's more paint on the ceiling than the wall.
How was the MTV party Wendz? Not jealous of you at all!
Speaking of not being jealous at all... my friend is in Florida right now and last night watched Neil Patrick Harris aka Barney from How I Met Your Mother read the Christmas Story at Epcot! How cool!
I'll check out your site tonight Dinah
Finished my first Christmas present last night! Yay! It's a funky infinity scarf for my Mum made out of a t-shirt. Started on another project for MIL but not sure if it's going to work out well or not... hmmm...:oOvercome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!Goal Weight 140lb Starting Weight: 160lb Current Weight 145lb0 -
Aww I love your site Dinah, everything seems to work for me and I love the pictures of you, NIM and Grace! I would definitely be buying some of the festive bunting if I had some spare cash but things are a bit tight at the moment.
Hope you enjoyed your MTV party Wendz, will add you on facebook when I get in tonight!Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170 -

The party was good thanks. Turned out to be a gig they were filming of music acts that are supposed to be big next year. Free drink so feeling a bit rought today as didn't get back till 1 am and then up at half 6.
The website is great Dinah, looks really professional.0 -
First sale through the site - no idea if it's the main one or facebook but I'm grinning from ear to ear.
I do feel guilty though, I charge flat rate postage but they've ordered a fairly light item and I reckon they'll have been overcharged by £1. I guess that's what happens with flat rate postage, some are under and some are over, and I can't come up with a postage rule that will mean no one ever over or underpays, but I still feel really bad about it.Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008
