    Evening All!
    Am exhausted we have been clearing out the garage for what seems like all weekend - we only did 7 trips to the tip plus have another couple to do this week plus some stuff to be collected by the council fortunately they take some items for nowt.

    Looks like we will be moving on 28th - fax to our solicitors said Monday 29th so everyone assumed the 29th which we couldn't do so was waiting all day for ok for Monday 28th which was what the fax should have said in the first place!!!!!!! To say I was a little stressed was an understatement. Just hope we can get the funds released in time or will have to wait until June 20th!!!!

    Fortunately I never found the mouse in the garage although we did find his home in the bottom of a printer box full of shredded polystyrene and printer ink - I couldn't be bothered to follow the footprints :rotfl:

    Not sure how much I'll be about as I now have a whole house to pack and 15 million people to tell who all need 3 weeks notice to do anything so am not sure when we will have internet back :p

    Just hoping it will all go through now..............
    Off to watch the bears and the elephants :D

    Well it's been another lovely day today, went to a craft fair to have a look round as I am going to start looking for fairs to have a table at, afterwards we went to the shops as I had to pick up 2 12x12 box frames and we had our dinner at wetherspoons.

    Hugs to all

    Love your card artydoll xxx

    Padster, good luck with everything, what an earth do we pay solicitors all that money for if they can't even get simple things like the date right...???

    I now haven't made a card for about 2 weeks, just haven't had any time or when I've had the time I can't be bothered :o

    Nine more get ups and then I have a week off work. We are off to Southport for 5 days, just hope the weather behaves ;)

    Good evening, hope everyone is well.

    We've had a fab few days of sunshine here in Glasgow, have managed to get loads of cards made and a few ATCs. Felt a wee bit of guilt when the postman and a courier arrived at the same time with stash :o

    I have popped a couple of the cards on my blob, always looking for some new followers :D xx

    Padster good luck with the move

    Artydoll I love that card and the image that's the first union jack image I have seen i actually like (I am so over all the shops and union jacks already :o) I hope they don't cart me off to the tower for making that comment :eek: :D

    Marg My back garden is coming along, just wish all the flowers and veg seeds I have sown grew as well as the weeds :mad: My front is well a builders yard quite frankly! I was hoping they would be done and dusted by Friday but I can't see it, wont stop me buying some new pots and plants for the front at the weekend though

    Still haven't updated in blob land :o

    **waves** what a day!!!!
    was happily packing up the wardrobe - a case, 2 holdalls and a bin liner later then was about to start on my stuff :p school rings - please don't worry DD has been hit in the eye with a drawing pin and we think she should have it looked at it isn't bleeding!!

    gave me an excuse to post my ebay parcels and stop packing - she's fine no damage done just a bit frightened although she saw her friend in tesco at tea time and the rumour was that she'd had her eye poked right out with a pencil and been taken away in an ambulance.

    add that to the half mouse in the drive, the cat with a dodgy tummy and an email saying that the fridge freezer we had ordered couldn't be delivered has been quite uneventful - am now going to sit down and watch the Apprentice with some choccy :D

    take care xx

    Hi i am looking for a little help or advice, i am wanting to make my own wedding invites I'm thinking this would be a cheaper option but I'm not sure how to go about it i don't know anything about paper grades and things of that nature and i always find buying online a cheaper option but i don't want to order something and find it isn't suitable, i am looking for a good grade of paper something that feels thicker than norm and just some card to for the envelope that i stick the paper too the actual design i haven't thought of any help from the experts :D I'd welcome or web links to cheap and reasonable suppliers.

    Thanks lil
