    I just popped on to say how lovely it was to meet you. Thanks for driving all that way to see us. Hope you didn't get lost on the way home!

    I know I'm not very regular on here any more, but it was really nice to chat, and of course put a face to a user name. :)

    And bubbs will be proud, I did my first APG shop (sharpies) in probably about 18 months today! Thank you for the tips. :A

    It was lovely to chat and meet you at last.
    Glad that the sharpies worked for you, now get ready for a few dtd's after the weekend.;)
