Daisyegg- HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope you have a lovely day.

Bossymoo- sorry for your loss. It made me smile when you said you had specific instructions about the dinosaur cake. 4 years ago i made ds3 a dinosaur cake , he wanted it to have green spots only as he was mad about the colour green. I decided it looked better with a few yellow spots as well.:eek: He has never let me live it down and still mentions it if we come across the photos. So much so that I have promised to make a copy this year with only green spots! So be careful, please! :rotfl:

Nanamia- hope Dsil has picked up a bit today.

Shellieholly- we had PP at 04.00 yesterday morning due to DS3's temp and cough. 05.30 today! so I know how you feel!

Finally got to give MIL her casino hamper yesterday, she was VERY pleased, so I was quite relieved. The chocolate dice, cards and chips arrived just in the nick of time but I definitely wont use that seller again- not impressed at all.

Well I have made a start on taking the decs down - that is, I have dragged the boxes out

I really want to make it to the sales today, fingers crossed! The sad thing is that we live a 5 minute walk from the high-street that has literally hundreds of shops on it!

All you fitbitters, can I ask is this a fitbit Ultra?

I found an actual ultra on amazon for £63 (incl shipping) but I have a £50 john lewis voucher, which would mean I'd only need to put £30 towards it - BUT I want to have the amazing one that weeclick is talking about as it sounds fab!

No that is the fitbit one which is the one i have, I think it is the newest one as it has a few extra things that the other ones don't like silent alarm, bluetooth, sweat, rain and splash proof,.

I was just about to write that I am popping into town to have a last look at the sales as there is no church today, and then I heard the hail ! Might stay in for a bit!

But I have found these so I wanted to check my bank balance - make sure I've got some cash on it before I order them! Then I will know just how much longer I should make my stripey crochet (which is actually a lot easier than it looks to anyone wanting to try something new this year!) I am attempting one of these in pastel shades, hoping to have it done for Easter.


And now the hail has stopped...do I risk it? We do need washing powder...hmmmmm

bossymoo: I'm really sorry to hear about the loss of your Granny.

Crowdpleaser: everything like that comes in threes. Hopefully alot more positive vibes for you in the New Year. :T:T

I have been in the sales this week and not picked up many supplies for next Christmas. I did pick up a box of cards, a few relative cards and gift tags for £1.80. I did however start my gift stockpile for the coming years birthdays, a Toy Story pairs set from Disney store for £1.49.
