Oh I'm first. :D

[Kirsty262]

checking in :D

[pinkbaglady]

checking in :D

sounds like you are going on a flight!:lol::lol::lol:

[Kirsty262]

I wish :( :lol:

[EmilyLovedHim]

Wondered why it had gone so quiet! Mind you it has been today, think everyone must have been enjoying the lovely weather.

Kirsty had an email from Vikki at Capture the Magic today and warned her you and Hazel were coming to pay her a visit!

[Kirsty262]

why, do you think she needed warning :o :lol: :lol: We will be on our best behaviour :D

[EmilyLovedHim]

Do not doubt it but thought it would be nice if she knew you were coming - warning was the wrong word!!! Hope you have a great time there - she has sent me details of places DH can take DD when I get up there at some point so that was really sweet of her.

[Kirsty262]

aww bless her

Hope she has the kettle on :lol: We will be needing a drink by the time we get there :D

[pinkbaglady]

aww bless her

Hope she has the kettle on :lol: We will be needing a drink by the time we get there :D

Uh that should be a bottle of wine if Hazel is going!:lol::lol::lol:

[EmilyLovedHim]

:nono: not if she is driving!

Apparently there is a coffee shop just yards away which customers use mid shop! That is to say they shop and then have a break and then go back for more!!

[pinkbaglady]

now that sounds like my type of shop.............

[EmilyLovedHim]

Maybe we should head over there for our team meet then!

[Kirsty262]

I think you should all come to the shop on Friday :lol:

[hazgizz]

Evening

You lot missed me today - Kirsty and Hayley have had mountain rescue out for me

Err what do you mean Denise - alcohol never crosses my lips:ph34r::ph34r:

I'd pm'd Vikki Helen to say we'd be going on Friday coz was going to order on line and pick up , but think I'll wait till we get there. Got my birthday swap to buy for too

Everyone ok today - hows the wee collection?

[pinkbaglady]

Just looked and it would take me 3hrs 7mins to get to CTM.:(

[hazgizz]

Oh Denise you need to move nearer to us instead of living in the boondocks!

No sign of Lyn then yet? :(

[EmilyLovedHim]

Wee collection failed :(. Turns out I don't have a cat - I have Houdini! Came home today from school after leaving him in the kitchen and he had gone! Broken the cat flap which was locked and escaped!!!

Much as I would love to come see you on Friday I would not be able to get the day off work :(. Have a really lovely time and come back to tell me if it is worth the trip - it is about two hours 20 mins from me!

[hazgizz]

I assume houdini has returned? He's not gone awol ???

Our two arent our friends - we've put flee stuff on them both - they hate it! So they've b*ggared off out tonight

[pinkbaglady]

The what?

So how far is the BOONDOCKS from Yorkshire then?

[hazgizz]

Miles apparently:lol::lol:

[EmilyLovedHim]

Yes Houdini came back pretty quickly actually - thanks for the reminder we have the worming drops to pop on the back of their necks tonight. Did the flea treatment a week or so ago now. BRB.

[hazgizz]

Yep worming is the next thing for us too - they HATE being man handled when they dont want to be!

[EmilyLovedHim]

There is a new treatment now that you just pop on the backs of their necks. Cheshire is fine to handle but Tangle can only be caught when he wants to be so we do him when he is all dopey on DHs lap - how easy is that! He never even realises he has been done which is good.

[hazgizz]

Yep thats what we get - no chance of getting tablets down their throats.

Once we've done one - the other realises its their turn and does a runner!

[EmilyLovedHim]

Secret is don't do em at the same time :lol:! Do one first and then leave the other until later on or the next day!

[PinkFairy]

Evening all.....wanna join my swap luvlies?

[EmilyLovedHim]

Just come in time for the cat chat! All about worming and how not to collect a wee sample from one cause they do a Houdini on you :lol:!

[EmilyLovedHim]

Just looked at the swap - don't have any Sugar Nellies!

[PinkFairy]

Well I only have the one Helen!!

Minouche is doing really well Helen. She is so adorable!! Has been to vets for first worming thingy. I'll do it myself next. She also booked in for her first jabs in a couple of weeks....

[EmilyLovedHim]

[hazgizz]

[angelfish]

Morning all:) Beautiful day here too!

Just grabbing a quick coffee, as DH is home this week.
Didn't buy much at IKEA as most of what we wanted was out of stock:(

[Gottacraft]

Hi guys ... Happy St. George's Day to you :)

Just re-read everything back ... have fun Denise. Oh poo Fi, how annoying is that when what you want is out of stock ... typical. Never mind, did you buy anything else?

I still haven't used any of my magnolia images :lol: I was reading someone's blog the other day ... even though it wasn't in English ... someone had translated it .. and she was talking about how to use stumps and oderless terpentine.

Helen ... what a strange woman that is about putting out washing ... nothing better than the smell of washing that's been out on the line. I was absoultly over the moon when we could finally put in a washing line .. how sad am I :lol: :lol: I even took a photo of my washing that day :lol: :lol:

[hazgizz]

. I was absoultly over the moon when we could finally put in a washing line .. how sad am I :lol: :lol: I even took a photo of my washing that day :lol: :lol:

[Kirsty262]

Well I have just been with DH to the companys doctors for a medical, his work sent him after he got rushed to hospital a couple of weeks ago

I am shortly going for my eyebrows waxing OMG I am sh1tting myself, never had them done before :o So I will have two big red eyes later rofl :lol:

Need to look beautiful for Friday :lol: (well less ugly than I do now :lol: )

[Gottacraft]

[Gottacraft]

Hmmm - need care in the community volunteers for Epsom please - someone needs to get out more:lol:

Actually, thinking about it .... I really do need help :lol: :lol: Not only have I taken a photo of my washing line ... but I also once (this year) photo'd our wheelie bin :lol: :lol: It was a day that I was having a HUGE clear out and our bin was so full that Simon really had to shove everything down :lol: The photo was for my 365 photo's :lol: :lol: Help me someone pllleeeaaaasssseeee :lol:

[Kirsty262]

the doctor who did the medical was actually better that waynes own doc :o (totally different surgery) He said he thinks it might have been a pulmanary embolism (sp) blood clot which is what me and hazel told him :lol: He has another chest x-ray on 9 May so will see if that shows anything. The doc wo did the medical did say if it didn't show anything they should do more tests ie ct scan and mri etc as obviously something happened

Aww thank you :wub:

[hazgizz]

poooh anyone got a peg for my nose? they've been muckspreading in the field right behind us and it honks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And its lovely outside now and would be great to open the windows but it stinks!

[Kirsty262]

thats what happens when your neighbours are cattle rofl :lol: :lol:

[hazgizz]

I know, but he's stopped putting the cows in there now. He just uses it to grow for feed I think

[Kirsty262]

aww I will miss the cows :lol:

Well apparently the girl I had the "do" with last night has wrote me a letter and her mate is supposed be bringing it later so will see what it says

[hazgizz]

Has she - OMG cant wait to see what she's got to say for herself

[Gottacraft]

I'm confused ... what have I missed ?????? What do?

[Kirsty262]

OMG Sandra last night I was absolutely fuming

Hannah (DD) was on msn to a girl from school about what they were doing today in team meetings (Hannah is the vice captain and this other girl is the captain) although this girl is useless and organises nothing

Anyway she told DD to take in loads of chocolate to do apple bobbing but use choc instead of water. We decided they would need too much chocolate and would be too messy to would use jelly instead so DD told this girl the plan and this girl started swearing at my DD and telling her to do something to her mum (dont think they have taught her the difference between mens and womens bits as it would hve been physically impossible to do what she had said to DD :lol: )

I was absolutely fuming, Hannah told her to stop swearing as I had read it and she said "so what, whats your mum gonna do eh" I could have slapped the little **** what a nasty little girl she is

Apparently she is like this with everyone at school and nobody dare say anything :o I told hannah I would sort it out but she said no

Anyway tis girl is supposedly sending me a letter so will see what it says

But I was absolutely blazing last night, if i had known where she lived I would ave been banging her door down

[EmilyLovedHim]

Not had a good day - going back to catch up on what has been going on here.

Sorry cannot chat about it but will get into trouble again if I do!

[hazgizz]

Aww Helen - hope everything is ok? We're here if you need to rant

[Gottacraft]

Rant away .... were here for you

[pinkbaglady]

Seems like a few hugs are needed for some of you. so ((((HUGS)))).

Had a nice day. Lovely lunch and chat and got some plants for the garden so been potting some of those up this aft.

Done another LO from the mid March kit and another one is waiting to be stuck down. Hope to put them in the gallery tomorrow. That kit sure went a loooooooooong way!

DS3's birthday today. Shame the teachers didn't strike today instead of tomorrow as it would have been nice for him to be home on his birthday.

[EmilyLovedHim]

Strike luckily will not affect us as the school have enough teachers to cover. I understood from the news on Radio 2 today that only those who do not have enough staff will be closing tomorrow!

OK all - I have been meaning to do it for AGES now - hate my user name - might as well just pop my real one in so any ideas on what I can have instead? Anything to do with cats would be good but everything I think of has already gone! All I can come up with is Gingercatlover - and that is only cause of your name Denise :lol:!

[EmilyLovedHim]

Or GingerKitty?

[hayleyx]

now I'm sorry but I can't let that one go!! Ginger cat lover - there's an obvious one there!! Sorry to lower the tone!!:lol:

[Gottacraft]

or just something like KitCat :lol:

Looking foward to seeing your layout Denise. Happy birthday to your son :)

[EmilyLovedHim]

:lol: Now I know I like chocolate.....

Perhaps Violet Creme :wacko:

[pinkbaglady]

What about Bagpuss?

[EmilyLovedHim]

My first choice and I would have changed it to that ages back but there is already a Bagpuss on here - and in fact that is my name on another forum I go onto. At Ally Pally someone actually came up and said "Oh you're Bagpuss!" which was lovely! Think that Saggy Old Cloth Cat is a bit long and not only that I am not THAT old :lol:!

[Kirsty262]

now I'm sorry but I can't let that one go!! Ginger cat lover - there's an obvious one there!! Sorry to lower the tone!!:lol:

rofl :lol: :lol:

How about

Garfield (hes a ginger cat :lol: )

[pinkbaglady]

Garfield - that's good!

[Gottacraft]

Yup, that's got my vote too :)

Ok, I think I'm getting old ... some chap just knocked on our door, saying ... "I'm not selling anything, but" .... anyway - I'm sure he was only 12 :lol: :lol: I really thought first, he was going to say he was with the scouts and wanted money to wash cars :lol:

[Gottacraft]

AAwww, just looked, there already is a Garfield :(

[pinkbaglady]

Yup, that's got my vote too :)

But what did he want then..............

[Gottacraft]

He was telling me that the house was built before 1930 blah, blah, blah, and did I know that people from his company were in the area, to check the structures of these houses and its bricks. But his face when I told him Simon was a structural engineer ... poor chap :lol: He just said, oh I suppose he's more qualified than us then :lol: :lol:

I should have said, yes, but if you're doing bob a job week ... I've got ironing for you :lol: :lol:

[pinkbaglady]

:lol:

[EmilyLovedHim]

PMSL at the bob a job week and wish I could have seen his face too! :lol:!

Yes I had thought of Garfield too - just like me "not fat - just undertall!"

[pinkbaglady]

What about (showing my age here!) TOP CAT?

[Kirsty262]

Garfield
Tom (as in tom cat)

[Kirsty262]

OMG do you remember Hong Kong Phuey (sp) I used to love that dog :lol:

[EmilyLovedHim]

Top Cat - love it! Off to see if anyone has it - well after THE Apprentice..

[pinkbaglady]

(Top Cat is laid-back and persuasive, a leader who can also be a friend. Top Cat's leadership is sometimes challenged by the rest of the gang, particularly when he has done something particularly shameful.)

Sounds like Helen................... you think........

[Gottacraft]

OOOhhh I loved Hong Kong Phuey :lol: :lol:

Right, my vote is Kirsty's "wontpeeasample" .... believe me, you'll be remembered everywhere you go :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: oh yes :lol: :lol: Shall we all start singing the theme tune now :lol: :lol:

We had a cat called TC ... thought "she" was a boy first .... then found out wrong :lol:

[pinkbaglady]

Top Cat

Top Cat
The most effec-tu-al Top Cat
Who's intellectual close friends get to call him T. C.
Providing it's with dignity
Top Cat
The indisputable leader of the gang
He's the boss
He's the VIP
He's a championship
He's the most tip top - Top Cat

Yes he's the chief
He's the king, but above everything
He's the most tip top - Top Cat!

[Gottacraft]

:lol: :lol: Love it ... now I'm singing it :lol:

[Kirsty262]

:lol: Glad you liked the names

I also liked wontpeeasample too though :lol:

[hazgizz]

DH was supposed to be out all morning, so I was planning to finish my MK. But he changed his mind and is cluttering the place up instead:lol:

Hoping my ATCs have arrived with you today PF. I am getting a bit anxious about them now:(

Kirsty and Hazel I bet you're getting all excited now:D

[Gottacraft]

Morning all, how is everyone

I still like Kit Cat :lol: :lol: Actually I think it needs to be something on the Bagpuss line :) It's perfect for you.

So are you all ready and packed for the weekend?

How is everyone this morning? Hope you all haven't got this awful rain we've got here today. I got caught in it walking Eddie this morning.

[EmilyLovedHim]

I rather like EmilyLovedHim - going with my pic of Bagpuss would work well!

Busy busy again today. Going to grab some lunch now before I have to get DD!

[Gottacraft]

yeah I quite like that too. So where is everyone today? Never known it this quite before

[EmilyLovedHim]

Well tis done! I have asked Smax if I can become EmilyLovedHim instead of boring Helenmurp! Certain that people who know me will find me again and if not then I will find them - after all the people I chat to the most will soon find out!

[Gottacraft]

Exactly .... they'll find you. But on the good side .. you can always lose the people you don't want to chat to ... and hey, that doesn't me me :lol:

[EmilyLovedHim]

Course it doesn't! My buddies are on this thread (well and a couple of others too!). Although I do think that this thread should be renamed the Violet Cremes or something similar :lol:!

[hazgizz]

Afternoon

How is everyone! I got caught in a huge thunderstorm at Lakeland today and I'd just had my flippin hair done and didnt have an umbrella!

Right, off to unpack and repack my trolley and tote for the weekend.

Dont miss us too much will you - you can always txt us to see how we're getting on

[EmilyLovedHim]

How can I text you?? You have not given me your number :lol: - anyone think she is trying to tell me something :(

The sky turned back and there was a huge rumble of thunder in the distance but think we have missed that storm but it poured down here at lunchtime today.

Don't forget we want lots of pics that we can laugh at when you get back :lol:!

And Sandra don't forget about that special kit you mentioned this weekend or was I not meant to say anything? :o

[Gottacraft]

:lol: :lol: Don't wind her up Helen ... her hair got wet today :lol:

Hazel .. how will I cope without you :)

We had amazing rain storms here today ... one minute it was all sunny then the next so dark with heavy rain and hail. We also had a very spectacular lightening storm

[hazgizz]

You can ring me Sandra - I wouldnt want you to be upset all weekend...you have my mobile dont you:lol::lol:

[EmilyLovedHim]

I don't :(

[hazgizz]

Special kit - omg you are winding me up now! How very dare you!!!!

I will pm you my number in case you're desperate to chat with me and Kirsty

Dont think Kirsty is taking her donglers with her this weekend - but I could be wrong - nothing would surprise me!

[angelfish]

So glad you like the name Helen:D

Just got back from taking DD to Irish dancing.
There was a message on the phone from one of my friends saying thanks for the lovely cards. I thought it was a bit odd as her birthday isn't until next week:wacko: I went to get the jiffy bag that her card is in and it's still there. To cut a long story short I've sent the ATC's I should have sent to you PF to her instead. I'm still not entirely sure how I managed it:wacko:

Got to go and cook Sam's tea now as he's starving and can't wait until DD gets home!

[EmilyLovedHim]

Oh no sounds like the sort of thing I would do! WHOOPS! are you going to have to make a new lot now?

[Gottacraft]

Oh no Fi, :lol: :lol: sorry shouldn't laugh .... can you explain it to her - or are you going to have to do another set?

I'm not even going to ask what Kirsty's Donglers are ?????:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Got to go and cook Sam's tea now as he's starving and can't wait until DD gets home!

I'm sorry I laughed too. That is the sort of thing I do I'm really glad there are other people who live in my world too Lx:wub:

[Gottacraft]

Lesley, are you are all packed as well :) ... and I hope you're going to miss us :lol:

[Kirsty262]

Oops Fiona but :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am all packed :D Not taking the donglers as i dont know where they are :o

[Mrs Hedgehog]

Almost I still need to do a bit of ironing, I fell asleep earlier oops.
Late night last night at theatre saw Sweeny Todd done by Leeds Amatuers it was really really good. Didn't get home till after 11.00pm bed by 12 and alarm goes off at 6.15am and work was quite stressful.
Of course I shall miss you all, but I am looking forward to the retreat even though I'm scared to death I'll make a fool of myself:lol:

DS1 lives nearby and he and his GF are coming over for coffee on Sunday which will be nice. Lx

[Gottacraft]

How is it possible for you to make a fool of yourself Lesley ... Hazel, there she'll do that instead :lol: :lol: .... ooohhh that was mean, sorry :lol: :lol:

Glad to know I'm not the only one that doesn't know about your donglers Kirsty :lol:

[hazgizz]

Aww Fi - sorry I know we shouldnt laugh but thats funny! I forget I tried to put something stupid in the fridge that didnt belong there the other day - cant remember what it was now!

Hope you can sort it out with her so you dont hve to do them again

You're picking on me again today:(

[Gottacraft]

I'm just getting it all in before you desert me :lol:

[pinkbaglady]

Great new name Helen.

I had my hair done today too, but I didn't get wet. Had a new colour put on and I've had some very nice coments about it so far.

Hope you guys have a fab weekend, when are you going? I'm pretty busy this weekend - going to a crop on Sat and on Sun my DGS is being christened so looking forward to that and even more so now I've found out my MIL can't make it.:rolleyes:

Is it true is there a special kit coming?!

Fi - sorry but I found your mistake highly amusing!!

[hazgizz]

I'm just getting it all in before you desert me :lol:


At this rate I might not come back :(:ph34r:

Have a fab christening day. Dont you like your MIL?:lol:

I think she's trying to wind me up about the kit:( evil I call it!

I had a change of colour too - I went jet black today - marginally off goth I would say

[EmilyLovedHim]

Pics please of hair!!!

Me? Wind you up? Never :lol:! It is a nice kit tho Sandra isn't it?

[Gottacraft]

OOhhh lovely a christening ... how wonderful.

I'm hoping to do some of the cc .. but you know me, I get sidetracked very easily :lol:

[EmilyLovedHim]

I did a great book for my oldest friend for her DDs christening - she loved it and they look at it loads! Make certain the batteries are fully charged for the christening Denise as you will only get one chance for those photos!

[Gottacraft]

I bet she did love it Helen ... it's a lovely christening gift to give.

[angelfish]

I'm so glad you are all amused by my scattiness..NOT!:lol:

My friend is almost as scatty as me:wacko:Why she thinks I would have sent her 10 identical cards I don't know!
What I made her was a mini book with photos from when we were at college together. I wouldn't have realised my mistake 'til Monday when I went to post it to her.
Curiosity got the better of her as the parcel has been sat looking at her since Saturday.

I'd best PM PF and explain it all to her!

Have you explained to your friend so you can get it back Fi?

I did it with Kirsty's birthday pressy. I ordered a range of papers, with bazzill to match. I liked it so much I ordered myself one too

Had to mail it to Kirsty because I wasnt seeing her - then later that day I couldnt find my plastic bag with bazzill in - yep I'd posted Kirsty too!

I had to tell her that one of the things in there wasnt hers:lol::lol:

When she opened her box she kept saying, is this mine, yep, is this mine, yep - it was hilarious!

[angelfish]

By the time she's posted them back to me and then I've posted them on again it'll be Tuesday. I feel awful to have held everybody up this long:(

I've just made 10 new backgrounds and I'll add the details once the kids are in bed so that I can post them in the morning:)

Better go and make some hot choc. Catch you all later:)

[Mrs Hedgehog]

Oops Fiona but :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am all packed :D Not taking the donglers as i dont know where they are :o
I know where mine are :lol:

[Kirsty262]

Evening all

Just been to drop some washing at my sisters (her washer is broke) now off in the bath so will be back soon :D :D

[pinkbaglady]

Have a fab christening day. Dont you like your MIL?

(I need a lesson in doing multiple quotes I think!)

It's not that I don't like her but let's just say after 33 years we 'don't get on and never have done' - different people and different ways etc ( oh and she is VERY interfering! (sp)

Have batteries, shame about my rubbish camera - am saving for a new one - my Terramundi is about three quarters full!! donations welcome!:lol::lol::lol:

Would anyone like a sausage making machine?? FOC! Hazel? Sandra?- just think you could make your own sausages for that new BBQ of yours - I'll post it for free too!

[hazgizz]

Sausage making machine??????????????

Whats a terramundi? Is it a fish like barramundi?

[EmilyLovedHim]

Ditto to both of those Hazel!!!!

[Kirsty262]

ooh i want a terramundi (sp) have wanted one for ages to stop DH raiding my little fund :lol:

[EmilyLovedHim]

So what is a terramundi?????

[pinkbaglady]

Sausage making machine??????????????

Whats a terramundi? Is it a fish like barramundi?

A terramundi is an Italian made money box. It is a fabulous ornament, they come in many different painted 'modes'. You can get them with painted words on eg Ferrari Fund, She Fund etc etc. Basically you save money in them - £1 pound coins is the best. But to open them you have to smash them. But if you save pound coins till they are full and then break them you should have about £400 in them. My best friend bought me one for my 'b'day last year and it is now nearly 3/4 full. Being such a gorgeous ornament it is a big decision to smash open but my best friend said that if I filled it to the top she would come and help me smash it and get me another one ( aww love my best friend!) She bought me a pink one!:) They make fantastic pressies. try googling. There on my dressing table lies my new camera............ but the longer I keep pinching DHs pound vcoins the better camera I'll get:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[Kirsty262]

ooh pink my favourite colour :wub:

[hazgizz]

Ahhh I seem to remember a thread about these now. I have a big pig that all the bronze coins and 5ps go in - doesnt fill up as much as pound coins though

What kind of camera are you after Denise?

[Kirsty262]

ooh Helen I have found a perfect one for you :D

[pinkbaglady]

Ahhh I seem to remember a thread about these now. I have a big pig that all the bronze coins and 5ps go in - doesnt fill up as much as pound coins though

What kind of camera are you after Denise?

A better camera than I've got! (a bit of a dunce about them I'm afraid) Something that takes good portrait pics, works in the dark and is easy for a dunce to use.. any reccommendations (sp) welcome. be a bit before terramundi can be opened though 'cos think DH might have cottened on to me 'borrowing' his pound coins.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[pinkbaglady]

ooh Helen I have found a perfect one for you :D

here (http://www.homeandgardengifts.co.uk/Personalised/Terramundi-Money-Pots/Card-C/Card-CN21-14081.aspx)

yey that's nearly like mine!

[Mrs Hedgehog]

come on Denise you must have worked out how to acquire the £1 coins without him noticing. I can :lol:

[Gottacraft]

I think that's a great idea ... something really nice to save up for too. Denise, would you like a camera that you just point and shoot and it does the work for you, or would you like to maybe learn more about camera's and say go on a quick one day course about them. I did one a while ago, that I saw her on UKS ... really had a good day, learnt about the camera and iso's etc plus got to do some scrappin :) Good all round really.

[Gottacraft]

Thank you Denise, for the offer of the sausage making machine, I've already got one ... you know me, kitchen gadget and all :lol: :lol:

Where's our Claire, she's not been on here for a while????

[Gottacraft]

Where have you all gone??? :lol: :lol:

[angelfish]

Goodness me:oDonglers, sausage making machines,what have I walked into?:wacko::lol:

I was only thinking earlier that I hadn't seen Claire for a while:(

Don't get me started on the subject of MIL. I've known mine for 12 years and there has been no improvement in relations:lol:

Yay! ATCs finished...again!

[Gottacraft]

I actually get on well with my MIL ... she's a good shopping buddy :lol: :lol: She loves clothes and house bits shopping :) Plus ... she always wants to do my ironing when she's here :lol: :lol:

[angelfish]

Sounds perfect Sandra:)
Mine just thinks I don't look after her little boy properly:lol:

Are you all ready for the CC tomorrow?

[Gottacraft]

I'm trying to find out where the timings are for the cc ... I can't find them, I think I'm having a stupid moment :lol: :lol:

[EmilyLovedHim]

Sorry had internet probs - did not try and sort em out earlier as I am still doing my Shimelle book! Yes that is perfect for me - shame to spent that money and have to break it tho :( but I do love the idea of filling it up to save for that something special!

I love my compact - wanted it for ages and then DH managed to get it mega cheap when it was discontinued! It is a Fuji F10 and both of the digital cameras we have had have been Fuji and found them really good.

Denise go into Jessops - they are not the cheapest but they have a good range of cameras, generally give good advice and you get to handle them too. Then go onto the internet (Pixmania are usually good!) and get your camera much cheaper!

As for MILs - as my Mum and Nan never really hit it off I was determined to get with mine but unfortunately she had passed away before I met DH so never got the chance.

[EmilyLovedHim]

Sandra go to the home page on here - the timetable is on there :lol:!

[Gottacraft]

OOhhh thank you .. never thought to look at the home page ... :lol: told you, I was having a thick moment :lol:

Simon bought a camera the other day for work ... I think the site was Harpers, or something like that - really good service, it came the next day by courier ... really impressed by them. I can double check the name of the site, if you want.

[Gottacraft]

So how much of the cc are you guys planning to do? In a way, I'm happy that Simon has to work on Saturday morning :lol: how mean am I :lol:

[EmilyLovedHim]

I am going for the lot! Won't happen but hey a girl can try :lol:! Seriously tho I am not rushing and going to only do the bits that I want to do.

[Gottacraft]

We're out on Friday night, so I can't start then - but I'd like to give as many as I can a go. But like you Helen, I'm not rushing them

[angelfish]

I'm really looking forward to the Stand By Me class tomorrow:)

I've got a mannequin that my brother gave me when I was doing my art A level. It's been sat in a box since we first put our house on the market so it'll be good to make use of it:)

Did you get Shimelle's kit Helen?

[Gottacraft]

ooohhh, off to look at the stand by me class

[Gottacraft]

Looks good Fi, I'm interested in the one that is using the bind it all ... I've only used mine once so far, so really looking forward to it.

[angelfish]

Is that the Mission Impossible one with the box of mini books?

I was going to use my BIA tonight to make a book for Shimelle's class, but it's in the cupboard in the spare room and Mum had an early night ,so I couldn't get it out:(

[Gottacraft]

yeah, I don't think you'd be very popular if you just barged in and started looking for you BIA :lol: :lol:

Right, I'll say goodnight to you all ... sleep tight

[angelfish]

Night Sandra:) I'm off myself now.

[EmilyLovedHim]

Missed you all :(

Just doing the last couple of bits for the Shimelle Class - not I did not buy the kit as I think I have enough stash and had already bought the Bubbly Funk one and also the Artbase one!

[angelfish]

Sorry I missed you Helen:(

Busy morning so won't be around until later.
Hope everyone has a great day:)and have a fab time at your retreat ladies:D

[Gottacraft]

morning ... I missed you all :lol: sorry Helen. I didn't buy the Shimelle kit either - I always tend to buy them and then never get around to doing them, so thought this time, I'd use what I have.

Well the mirror arrived :) How on earth the shop thought I'd be able to take it home :lol: It took 2 chaps just to carry it into the house. Should be fun trying to put the damn thing up ... lots of swearing I think will be coming from Simon :lol:

Also our wii fit has arrived :) ... bet I'll be doing myself some damage later on :lol:

[feline]

I want a Wii, well not literally of course...let me know how you get on with it and what games have you got with it :D

[Gottacraft]

Hey you :)

We've already got the sport one, which honestly is just so much fun. Mum and Dad even love playing it. Looking forward to seeing what the fit one is like, apparently it's got yoga :lol:

[feline]

In our house it would probably be something like Sonic Tennis...have you got all the extra controllers :)

Where's the mirror going, I'd probably go out for a while and come back when it was hung especially being that heavy I hope your plasterwork is OK :lol:

In my mad little world I'm shattered the bloody smoke alarm decided at 2.45am that it would bleep to tell me the batteries were low, thought I was having a very realistic dream where someone was beeping at me :lol: :lol:

[feline]

Wesley Snipes just sent to prison for 3 years for tax evasion of up to 15 million, how very naughty...I'd like just 1 per cent of that though :D

[EmilyLovedHim]

Must have missed the post about the mirror - do we get a peep then Sandra?

Quiet here - anyone missing PMSL :lol:

[Gottacraft]

Well wii fit ... absoutly great fun, I have just laughed so much that I was crying :lol::lol: Lets just Simon has no balance whatsoever :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mirror is going in the hallway - and lets say thank goodness for old houses :lol: You're right Claire it does need a strong wall, and me to be out :lol:

I have taken a photo Helen of it ... so I'll show you later :)

[feline]

Men have no balance it comes from the misconception that they are a tripod defying the cause of gravity when in fact one leg of the tripod is much, much, much shorter than the other two :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm not explaining that...think about it :P

[EmilyLovedHim]

I got my new name :)

[angelfish]

We'd love a Wii too! But as I've spent over £300 on furniture today i think it will have to wait.
That fit board looks like great fun Sandra:)

:lol:Claire!

Yay! You got your new name Helen.
I love it:wub:but DH said it was too long when I came up with it:wacko:What does he know:lol:

Off to the PO now that I've had my fix of coffee:)

[EmilyLovedHim]

Tell him I love the name so that is what counts! Thanks for coming up with it - I would never have thought of it! Shame that Top Cat had gone tho!

[EmilyLovedHim]

Sent Hazel a text so she know we still :wub: them! :lol: Do you think she is missing us (NOT!)?

Hope you will let Simon off the norty step this weekend to pop that mirror up Sandra, anyway he will be lonely there without Hazel (and did she ask your permission to get off there and go???)

[pinkbaglady]

I got my new name :)

I get called PBL a lot so I reckon you may shortened to ELH!:rolleyes:

[EmilyLovedHim]

Never thought of that!

[EmilyLovedHim]

Just heard from Hazel - she is in the Pub :lol:! Spent lots at CTM today too as did Kirsty apparently so sounds as if they are having a good time. Will update when I hear more :lol:!

[pinkbaglady]

Just heard from Hazel - she is in the Pub :lol:! Spent lots at CTM today too as did Kirsty apparently so sounds as if they are having a good time. Will update when I hear more :lol:!

sounds good. Can't wait to hear what they have to say next week!

[EmilyLovedHim]

Will text her again over the weekend - just to let them know they are missed!

[pinkbaglady]

What you up to on the weekend then Helen?

[EmilyLovedHim]

I am fully set up to Cybercrop!!!!

[pinkbaglady]

ENJOY then HELEN!

[angelfish]

I finally made it back! I've had a nightmare this evening trying to upload my MK:wacko:

Sounds like Hazel and Kirsty are having a great time:)

Enjoy yourself tomorrow Denise and have fun cybercropping Helen:)
Going to make a start on my mannequin now.

[EmilyLovedHim]

Been doing mine all evening! Did you get the kit cause apparently the rub ons are not rubbing off :( Not tried mine yet....

[angelfish]

No I didn't get the kit as I already have a mannequin that my brother gave me when I was doing my art A level.

Some people have pictures of them in their galleries already!

I'm off for tonight. See you tomorrow:)

[EmilyLovedHim]

I know I cannot believe how fast some people work! Off in a bit too - wanted to do two classes tonight - should know it would be too much for me to do even the one :lol:!

[angelfish]

Morning all:)

Just put a coat of paint on my mannequin, but the kids are up wanting breakfast now, so I've had to clear the kitchen table:(

Off for some porridge next.

[Gottacraft]

Morning all

Love the new name Helen ... perfect, perrrrr...fect :lol: with the avatar :)

I didn't start the cc at all yesterday, as we went out to our friends for dinner last night .... just had the best time. Penny made the dinner, so I took dessert.

Had planned to do lots on the cc today ... but it's just to glorious here to stay in today, so I'll be working in the garden until tonight - then hope to get some of it done.

Glad to hear Bonnie and Clyde are having fun :lol: :lol: But fancy going to a pub without us :lol:

:lol: Claire, had to laugh at your 3 man idea :lol: So true :lol: Must say though ...the wii fit ..... so so so much fun.

[EmilyLovedHim]

Morning all! Loving the sound of the Wii Fit but don't even have a Wii :lol:!

GRRR Photobucket has locked me out so I cannot upload my pics of my Fairy Ballerina Cat!! Rub ons did not work so will have to wait until the replacements come from Artbase but hopefully will still be able to claim the points as it is no my fault :(

Hope the terrible twins are having a great time and agree - why were we not invited to the pub :(

[pinkbaglady]

Had a great time at my crop today. Then I got home................My DH is out atm and I hope for his sake he stays out a bit longer...... I may have mellowed a bit after a couple of glasses of wine......... if not he is on the naughty step for some time to come, with nothing in reach of him to relieve the boredom of being there! I so don't want to go to the christenenig tomorrow not on speaking terms with him but oh boy am I MAD AS MAD CAN BE WITH HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK rant over for now!

[angelfish]

OMG Denise! What has he done?

[feline]

Sandra coooeee

I want to know where you had your Wii from, was it a store thats up and down the Country and if I get one do I need a memory card to start off with and did you buy it as a bundle deal...looking for the best possible deals around but sadly I need 4 controllers :blink: and they're not cheap are they :o

Plus I want the Wii Fit, you've sold me on that now...not sure DH is overly keen on the idea of a game console to keep you fit, but anything I can laugh at him using is a real bonus :lol:

[EmilyLovedHim]

Oh no Denise that does not sound good! Do not let whatever it is spoil your enjoyment of the day tomorrow though whatever you do. Try and sort it out tonight - believe me whatever it is cannot be as bad as the two things my DH did last year!

[angelfish]

Hey Claire!
LMK if you find a great deal and I will do the same for you, as I'm looking for one of these before the Summer hols:)

Finally persuaded DH to take the kids out for an hour this afternoon.
I managed to add a skirt to my mannequin (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=159690&cat=500&ppuser=20103) for the Artbase class and rustled up a couple of the challenges just in time to upload before the deadline. Phew!

How are you getting on Helen?

Hope the wine has done the trick Denise:)

[pinkbaglady]

I'm mellowing, slowly, slowly.........
Keep telling myself no one is ill, or hurt and trying to be VERY laid back............ NO sign of DH yet, his ears must be burning!:mellow::rolleyes::mellow:

[angelfish]

Like Helen says don't let it spoil the christening tomorrow. Make him suffer once it's over:lol:

I'm cutting letters for DD now, so that she can do her next LO:)

[EmilyLovedHim]

Artbase one is done and in my gallery along with Blank Cheque - just doing the Bubbly Funk ones and now off to do bingo!!!

[feline]

Hey Claire!
LMK if you find a great deal and I will do the same for you, as I'm looking for one of these before the Summer hols:)



Hi Fi

I can find good deals at Game but sadly they are out of stock of the wii remote controller and the nunchuck and being a family of 4, I need them to be starting off with so there are no tears iykwim...otherwise me and Jay won't let them play, they can watch from the settee :lol:

Will keep looking and if I find something I'll drop you a PM :wub:

Enjoy your CC everyone :) I don't take part cos I can't scrap fast and meet deadlines...I get flustered :lol:

[Gottacraft]

oh my Denise, what has he done??? You're right, it's not something that should spoil your day tomorrow ... and just think, it's been a lovely weekend so far, you've cropped today and tomorrow its just going to be wonderful :)

Claire we got the wii, last year from Argos. It was a better deal for us, because we wanted to choose the games we wanted, and not just the ones that came as a bundle .. the main one we wanted was the sports one .... great, great fun. The wii fit, we had on pre-order from Amazon - but check out John Lewis, I know they had them in stock and were at a good price I think. Yesterday while we were at friends for dinner, they had ordered there's from Game, I think ...and were picking in up today. But we did check on ebay .. and already people were selling them at stupid prices.

I want to have a look at the cc ... and will a bit later, but I'm the same, can't cope with deadlines .. I never really like what I've done, and then have to take it apart and re-do it later

We've been inthe garden all day ... it's just been stunning weather - and the greenhouse, and all its new shelving is almost full :lol:

[angelfish]

Sounds like you've had a productive day Sandra and made the most of the lovely weather:)

I agree with you bothabout LOs done during a CC! I tend to do the challenges rather than the classes as they're usually quite quick and easy and you don't waste too much stash:lol:

I'm quite pleased with my mannequin so far, but it's still a work in progress to be finished after the CC. I've done the backgrounds for the 6x6 album to go with it, but didn't want to rush them by 4pm:wacko:

I love the look of quite a few classes, but I'll do them in my own time:)

Hope all goes well tomorrow for you Denise:)

[angelfish]

Morning all:)

DD has Irish dancing practise all afternoon ready for the annual display in Sherborne next weekend. She wants to make an envelope book this morning, so not much scrapping for me today!

Enjoy the christening Denise:)and have a lovely day everyone else:)

[EmilyLovedHim]

Morning all!

Really annoyed that the classes and challenges from yesterday have to be up loaded by noon today as I was hoping that the ones from later yesterday I would be able to do today :( Guess I still will but won't get any points for them. Really looking forward to Voodoo Vixen's class today so will finish this cuppa and then get dressed ready to go.

Hope you got things sorted with your DH Denise and that you have a really fabby day today.

[Gottacraft]

Morning :)

No way on earth am I going to be able to upload by 12 .... still, I would like to try out a couple of the classes, I've got some bits together for Gerties class white space (or patterned paper space :lol:) and just going to give that a go .... off now to see what other classes are available today.

Have a fun day Denise.

[Gottacraft]

Well, I had fun today, that's for sure .... craft room looks like a bomb has dropped on it though :lol::lol: Only managed 130 points ... but not bad considering I only started today :)

How did everyone else get on?

[EmilyLovedHim]

Hi all
Got 390 a record for me and included 50 pts for the Shimelle Class pre crop - did the tag too for the 10pts although it is not very good it was fast and I did not mind doing that for the point but refuse to waste my stash for points!

I loved Annette's class and will be making more!

[Gottacraft]

I liked her class too Helen. I still need to do some finishing bits to it though - I made mine into a book for my to do lists :lol:

I'm planning on starting Shimelle's class .... and took lots of photo's for it - but couldn't claim anything as I didn't even start it :lol: :lol:

[EmilyLovedHim]

Mine developed in that I choose the papers as they match my bedroom, then found the "buttons" with Kiss and SWAK on them along with the heart buckle so it sort of did itself! Have no idea what I will used it for but cannot believe that I have not used my robo once this weekend - thought I would use it loads! Also did not use my BIA but then again never did intend to do the Mission Impossible class and Annette's is better with the bookrings anway.

[Gottacraft]

No I didn't use my BIA ... which is what I wanted to do. Still, I've printed off the classes I wanted too and one of them is for books ...is that the mission impossible one Helen?

[feline]

OK I'll admit...you all beat me, I haven't done anything from the cc :o

I just can't scrap that fast and even if I tried I'd make a right mess and in a week I'd just do the layout again wasting stash plus I work the weekend and then I've been out in the garden drinking wine and having a laugh with the neighbours :)

Proud 'Mom Moment' my eldest DS has just received 84% for his green belt, highest in the class...aww bless he's had to work so hard because he had to start over again because the old style Do Kan Riow (sp) was not accepted at this Shota-Kan (sp) class so he had to do all his belts again...so proud :wub:

[Gottacraft]

AAwwww that's great news Claire ... I bet he's just over the moon.

I haven't done anywhere near as much as others on the cc ... the only actually layout I did was Gerties class .. and loved doing that one. I still need to do the finishing touches to the book one anyway.

Well we've hung the mirror ... blooming hell it was heavy - still theres enough in there so that it never moves :lol: Looks good though - just means I really need to finish the painting in the hallway - uuummmm may start that next week

[feline]

How you gonna sleep at night, I'd have to keep checking it was still attached to the wall :lol:

Kyle is on MSN now bragging to his mates :rolleyes:

Gosh its gone that dark I can hardly see the keyboard, I'm watching Come Dine With Me and there is a man on there that is sooo rude I just don't know how nobody has whalloped him yet :lol:

[Gottacraft]

No, theres no way that mirror is moving :lol: :lol:

We've had the most amazing weather this weekend ... yesterday was stunning - far too nice to be in the house cc'ing :) and then today we've had rain, hail, thunder and lightening - which is the reason why I only cc'd today :lol: :lol:

Good on him bragging .... the boy did well, and so he should be proud :)

[Gottacraft]

Right, catch you later I hope - I've now got to dish up dinner, and drag Simon off the wii fit ... he's moaning because it says he's put on weight over the weekend .... not a huge shock really :lol: :lol:

[feline]

See you later :)

You know you are to blame for my obsession at getting this flaming Wii now don't you and can I find Wii Fit, absolutely NOT :lol:

[Gottacraft]

Oh dear ... are you sure it's my fault :lol: :lol: ... have you tried John Lewis? And please don't say yes, it's sold out :lol:

[EmilyLovedHim]

Well done to your DD Claire - you should be one proud Mum! Wonder how they are getting on at their retreat - not heard anything since they were in the pub - maybe they are still there :lol:!

[Gottacraft]

I bet they're just having the best time :) Hey, do you think they've forgotten about us :(

Now what do you think :P 'Sorry Sold Out' in big bold letters :lol:

[Gottacraft]

[Gottacraft]

How about Game? There was a website that looks for them ...also have you tried Argos? I'll ask Simon about the website and let you know

[Gottacraft]

Guess that is what comes of having a girl :lol:! I love the new DCWV Butterflies and Blossoms that is due out next month too - again VERY pink so will be on my shopping list!

[feline]

I can get the console and Wii Play from Game for a good price, but its the extra controllers that are killing me and Kyle pointed out that its best to get the charger for the controllers because apparently they eat batteries and they want this and Jay wants that...my head is spinning :lol:

For 1 remote control and 1 nunchuk its £40.00 from Ebay and I need 2 more :wacko:

On another subject, going to book a few days away in Windsor at LegoLand for the boys in the Summer and I've looked on the routefinder you are not that far away...fancy a meeting :)

You NEED a boy that'll put you off all things pink and frilly :P

[Gottacraft]

Now you're talking to a very pink girl here Helen :lol: :lol: Poor Simon doesn't stand much of a chance in our house .... if I can, I get things in pink :lol:

You need extra controllers Claire - that's how you get more fun of it, playing against each other ... yes, my controller is pink :lol:

[EmilyLovedHim]

Nope we wanted a girl got one so stopping right there :stop:

[EmilyLovedHim]

BTW have texted Hazel - but guessing they are on their way back by now!

[feline]

OK I can go along with pink but not pink and twee, I hate purple and I :love: red, you see danger...that just about sums me up :)

I noticed you glanced over the meeting part...not hurt...wiping away tears...sniffing now...crying like a baby now :( :P :lol:

[feline]
