alas taxi I dont get paid until the 20th but should just be ok! The Cj is coming on sea - done the printing & just need to put it tog. Phone keeps rining so will abandon it for now. I may need to resort to 1st class & post a day late but still aiming for Weds but alas this thing called work gets in the way!! Off to watch waking the dead! hugs all!

Just come back although now realise I didn't log off so I can't see new posts!! Grrr. I needed a break as silent though my silent setter might be, my hand has now got cramp from leaning on it!! So having a little break then going back to it. I've half done the cover, address page done (oh so hard that one eh?!) and I'm halfway through my signing in page. I am trying to find my special vellum glue but think I've run out and of course am not going to buy new so will have to use obvious glue - grrr.

Anyhoo, best check the board and then get back to it.

boy you all sound so professional. I've just got my layout to do which i'll try and get cracking on tomorrow. Not really in the mood tonight as not long put OH on the train, which is a killer.

pah! Professional?!!

I just had a moment when I realised I was going a bit ott - it was like 'STEP AWAY FROM THE EMBELLISHMENTS!'. You'll understand what I mean when you see my intro page - whoops:o Got a little over excited at all the stuff I 'found' in the bottom of my scrapping stuff box (which is far too big of course, but most was pre-lightbulb!). All the ribbons and stickers and buttons and everything. Now to warn you - there is no theme of style running through mine - it's eclectic!!:D

Evening all! Mind is also eclectic but now done! Had a quiet day at home doing my CJ, making marmalade & generally chilling. Managedto take a nce slice out of my thumb but will live. although citrus fruits & open wounds dont go! Had a NSD which is good and much needed. Havent gone OTT with spending of late but little bits have crept in! How are you all doing with your CJ's Huge re sending OH off tree! He'll be back soon I'm sure & you do have to be in the mood for doing it! Just got my house back to some kind of normality as it was beginning to look like a scrapping store!! Off to catch up...

I'm goin ok with the CJ - am currently typing up my scheme of work so then I can go and do my actual lay out. Not happy with one page so far, but am just going to leave it. Sophia liked it anyway!

I sliced my thumb while making marmalade! I know taxi - shoot me now eh!! The leg is annoyig as it means I cant run for the moment:( Yes sea the day at home was lovely - just pottering & getting bits done - 2 batches of soup, marmalade & CJ. All things I enjoy but the cooking was a necessity was was down to the last soup! Was going to go for a swim but decided home time needed more & may go on the way home from work tomorrow, although I have a late visit. Trying to finish my book for book group and am down to the last 100 pages of 700 pages - the longest book I've ever read!!

What sort of soup did you make?

I go round to my parents far too often at this time of year, as I adore the smell of marmalade cooking!
