Oooo pinknfluffy good luck for tomorrow

Have just bought the supplies to make up some cute monogrammed tote bags. I saw something similar on pinterest many months ago and never got round to doing it (bags I ordered were made of plastic that I couldn't use heat vinyl with). I can't wait to have it all made now Will hopefully make thoughtful presents too!

Feisty how awful of your aunt, sending you hugs x
hugs to everyone, hope your day has been ok

well the craft class was a great success, though next time we do it we are going to have a small group as there were 20 kids there yesterday, didn't want to say no to any of them.

Thank you everyone for all your birthday wishes. I had a lovely day with the family. Have decided to have a birthday weekend and do very little (well if HRH can have two birthdays) so I have had two days without any washing and ironing :j.

Have been having trouble over the last couple of weeks keeping up with all your posts but pleased be assured I am popping in whenever time allows.

Take care everyone

Where has the weekend gone?!? I am only in my second week of placement and already wanting it to be over. Love the job when I'm actually there, but getting up at a stupid time and travelling for 45 minutes is making me very irritable I think it's because I agreed to cover all day on Thursday and Friday which is going to cause havoc with meeting deadlines with other work

Just thought I'd share my latest make with you all - I know I'm biased, but I think he's super cute and is helping to make me smile

Oh dear, I'm so behind with the posts again I must keep up:o

Feisty - that's really horrible about your nan, I'm a great believer in "what goes round, comes round" so the nasty wicked bat of an aunt will get her comeuppance at some point. I really like your latest make by the way - looks good:)

OMO - it's a sobering thought when something like that happens so close by. I'm also very guilty of leaving things like laptops on kitchen tables etc. I tend to think because we live in the country we are remote however the down side is that anyone breaking in would probably be undisturbed for quite some time.

I don't have anything worthwhile to contribute right now. I picked up a christmas cake and orange and cranberry cupcake kit in Mr T yesterday reduced to £2.50 and £1.25. Felt very naughty buying pre weighed stuff but I figured the ingredient cost would be more than that so I will make the cake for Easter and the cupcakes some time soon.

Off to catch up on some more reading now!

Evening everyone,

OMO glad DS if feeling a lot better, oh god i would worry like mad about someone breaking in, but it is no good because they know ways i wouldnt even think of or have heard of
SNUGGLEBUNNY that was exactly what happened to me, he was a bully, well to do older man, she was younger and looked downtrodden, god knows what an earful she got on way home from court i would hate to think, after your DHs previous experiences im not surprised you are wary of everyone, but thankfully there are still decent people like you still around, most people would have made more of their back hurting, the poor girl was genuine and being a new driver her insurance will be whacked up even more now.
PRINCESSKITTY sounds like you got some great bargains
FEISTY aah that bag is super cute

well i have just earnt my first £10 voucher on VO so have £15 amazon vouchers from surveys saved for xmas so far.:j
