    No I don't think we have the range, have a hobby craft but that seemed quite expensive the few times I went on in the past:)

    Kellyhghs, Poundland have some good but cheap crafty bits if you have one near you. Home Bargains if you have one also sometimes have some decent craft bits and you could try B&M too - they do some fab photo frames and bits for the finished product. Wilkinsons may have some good bits although I don't find them as good as they used to be (think they're going the way of Woolworths, trying to move upmarket and increase prices accordingly - trouble is, like Woolworth, Wilks is a 'value' brand not a lifestyle one). I did once buy some nice photo albums in Wilkinsons which have never been used. I'd willingly send you one but unfortunately the postage costs are ridiculous. Just remembered that Dunelm Mill also have craft sections now. Hope you have some of these shops near you and manage to get some lovely things.
    It's the most wonderful timeof the year :

    Some things in Hobbycraft arent bad but they are more expensive than The Range, there are a lot of websites, i havent ordered online for a few years but if you google you will find some, we used to have two lovely local small craft shops but they have all closed down now, which is a shame. HTH

    Me too ;) it actually turned out more MSE to put it on the credit card (0% purchases) than it did to put it on over drafts lol.

    My interviewee turned up 24 hours late :rotfl: she got the wrong day and forgot to tell me she'd changed her number :eek:

    :D I have received an email ( from a very very distant relation) of some family parish records I have been after. I am now on my tree and on a roll. This is going to be a long night :D

    Hi everybody,
    It's been a dreadful week,so I have really been struggling.Dh drove 100 miles last Friday for a second interview he was involved in a car accident on his way home. Although not life threatening, without going into too much info it's complicated he does have injuries. Sadly this will now mean lots more hospital visits and more involvement from specialists.
    JJ I do hope you are on the mend and out of hospital, thinking of you.
    Ameyturtle sorry to hear you've not been well, hoping your feeling better.
    Nic2075 I hope it was good news on the job interview.
    Nanamia looking forward to reading about your trip, I hope you had a lovely time and that the break did you good.
    Freespirit66 your going great guns on the daily challenges, well done.
    Happy belated birthday wishes to those birthdays I've missed.
    I'm off to catch up now, hugs to all that need them and apologies for
    being negative.
    Babyboo x
