Evening all!

Happy Birthday Lollie79 :bdaycake: hope you had a lovely day!

Great news msgigglewick :j you must be thrilled. Enjoy looking for a new fridge without worrying about the money too much!

OMO - oh dear, doesn't sound like fun. Hope you get sorted soon x

Feisty - you are so clever! Loving the simplicity of the second one, but agree with moneysavingmum - maybe a heart, or a scroll in each bottom corner? ( Having said that, I love the twiddlyness of the first one. I would love to create something like that )

DH just popped down to Tesco to collect new vac - ours gave up the ghost on Sunday.Think the combination of pine needles, and bits of paper on the snug carpet was too much for it! Takes me ages to get used to the feel of a new one.

Busy day at work today, so an early night methinks.
Take care everyone xxx

Feisty, I'm in the camp that prefers the first version. I usually don't like fussy things, but I do love lace and that's what it reminds me of. I like the font in the second one, but it wouldn't look right in the other!
I'm just contradicting myself re plain and fancy now, so I'll just get my coat .....

Feisty I like the first version too, with the extra 'fancy bits' (thanks greentiger) even though it was a bit tricky to read wondering if you could cull a few of the decorative bits but not lose all of them?

Peppapig

Msgigglewick - that's fabulous news, so pleased for you. Hope you and dh really enjoy your wonderful new debt free life.

OMO - that diet sounds terrible - hope the very clever and inventive ladies on here are able to come up with lots of recipes for you. Wish I could help but I'm totally useless in the kitchen.

Feisty - am in awe of your work, it's fabulous. I think both would appeal to different markets so could be worth keeping the two. Personally the second one feels a little bit 'cold' for me but more modern looking while the first one feels more homely in a more traditional way. I agree it takes some sorting out to read the first one easily but then does that matter? I'd like the second one if it had a little bit more on it - a bit too austere for me at the mo but other people love it so I do think it would be worth looking at offering both options in your shop. Can't wait for you to get it up and running.

mrs-moneypenny

i agree with pepper, offer versions of both. i like the clean simpleness of the 2nd one but the first one is also really nice everyone has different tastes and decors so you are sure to find a market for both.

bunbun2

msgigglewick that is fantastic news:j well done on your bargain

OMO wow that's a tough diet. have you looked at the low carb thread? is it more healthy to eat low/no carb?

moneysavingmumofone you got some good bargains

happy birthday lollie79

feisty I too like a mixture of the first and second
