We've got cat wars in our garden!! come on!!! haha

[Giraffina]

Hello Scrappy Cats Mummy eClaire is trying out DD1's new Avator, as she has just posted in the junior thread to claim her points

[Kat the Cobbler]

cool giraffe. i like it. Welcome aboard

[Mary Buttons]

Like it she is a very nice giraffe.

Had I better put the EMB in here too better just in case.

[happysnapper]

Z poor dh
kat what???

[Kat the Cobbler]

Haha!! my cat was fighting with next door's cat. Our cats can't stand the thing (not surprised, it's a mangy little runt) so they take great pleasure in chasing it round the garden (it can't get out once it's in because our fence is too high)

Hi Giraffina :D

Aww thankyou so much! :D

I'm going to try it now :D

I love it!

[happysnapper]

oh i seee
hi girafina and all
off to unpack scrapping stuff and possibly sort craft room so if i do get chance to scrap at the weekend i can get in there:D

[Mary Buttons]

The reason it didn't work was because it was outside the dimensions although it wasn't too big a file the width was too big.

[zahra]

Kat, you're a big meanie!!

[eClaire]

Hi, me back again Giraffina banished to bed, much to her annoyance! One of the kids chats is doing a sweetie alphabet, we just did e,f and g. E was really tricky, can anyone think of a choccie bar or a sweetie begining with E? I came up with Everton mints, but she looked at me like I was talking gibberish, so we had to come up with something else. Look at this fabby site we discovered... The pictures make my mouth water http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=e&sort=2a&page=6

[zahra]

Claire, I don't know how you do it all! You make me tired just reading your posts, sometimes!!!! Good to have active girls, though!!

Right, might head off to bed soon, thankfully the rest of my week is a bit quieter and have a hair cut on Friday! Still not finished MK, must do tomorrow

[eClaire]

Night Zahra, I had planned to stay up late and scrap, but I have done the weekly now and I'm saving my photos for the CC. DH away so i may pop off to bed too, as soon as the DD's GO TO SLEEP

I don't see us as special, all their little freinds do loads of stuff too, so it seems normal to them. I do get tired sometimes, but they rarely do!

[Kat the Cobbler]

I would've said Everton mints as well.

[zahra]

Claire, what about an eclair?!

[eClaire]

Claire, what about an eclair?!

O yea!! :wacko: but not sure if it counts as a choccie bar or a sweet. In the end we used Edinburgh rock (one of my favs)

[eClaire]

Ok scrappy cats, carry on the kids challenge then (without using the link!!) who can think of a sweetie or a chocolate bar begining with F?

[zahra]

Definitely a sweet!!!!

[Mary Buttons]

Edinburgh Rock yummy I love this stuff.

[Mary Buttons]

Frys Turkish Delight

[Mary Buttons]

Glace Mints

[eClaire]

Jane - to answer your question on my weekly challenge LO. The circular writing is done with boring old Word, nothing clever, just used Word Art and chose one of the curved shapes and then dragged the shape into a circle. I thought I would have to fiddle with the sizing a bit, but had a guess and it was just right first time.

[Kat the Cobbler]

fudge

[eClaire]

H = highland toffee - I think we will be too good at this subject!

[eClaire]

[tigerlady]

Uncle Joes Mint balls

[tigerlady]

Vimto chews

[Mary Buttons]

DH has put the telly onto a boring prog and dropped off with the remote on his chest. I've no chance of changing the channel!

:lol::lol::lol:

Uncle Joes Mint balls
Never heard of them nor sugar free black bullets

[tigerlady]

Black bullets are from North of England/south Scotland they are a hard sort of brown minty sweet. Mum loves them but she's diabetic so shouldn't eat them

[Kat the Cobbler]

Uncle Joes Mint balls

Haha!! My dad is always singing a song about them!!!

The only thing i know about Uncle Joe;s mint balls is that they are only made in wigan.

[Mary Buttons]

didn't know you could get vimto as a sweet thought it was only a drink

[Kat the Cobbler]

Found it

Now there’s a place in Wigan a place you all should know
A busy little factory where things are all the go
They don’t make Jakes or Eccles Cakes or things to stick on walls
But night and day they work away at Uncle Joe’s Mint Balls

Chorus (to be sung after each verse)

Uncle Joe’s Mint Balls keep you all aglow
Give ‘em to your grannie and watch the beggar go
Away with coughs and sniffles, take a few in hand
Suck ‘em and see, you’ll agree
They’re the best in all the land

Me dad has always wanted curly hair on his bald head
Suck an Uncle Joe’s Mint Ball that’s what the doctor said
So he got an Uncle Joe’s Mint Ball and sucked it all night long
When he got up next morning, he’d hairs all over his tongue

Me uncle Albert passed away from ale upon the brain
The doctors said that he were dead and would never walk again
So they gave the corpse an Uncle Joe’s and then stood back aghast
Cos the corpse jumped up and ran to the pub and spent the insurance brass

Me granny said me granddad ‘e were gettin’ old and slow
And fire in grandad’s boiler ‘ad gone out long ago
So ‘e got an Uncle Joe’s Mint Ball, sucked it all the night
But his hot breath singed her vest and set the bed alight

We ‘ad a pigeon it were bald and couldn’t fly too fast
Never won places in the races, always come in last
Though it were bald, no feathers at all it won a race one day
We give it an Uncle Joe’s Mint Ball and it ran al’t bloody way

I had a girl her name was May in passion she were lackin’
Fed ‘er with whisky to make ‘er frisky, still she wouldn’t get crackin’
So I gave her an Uncle Joe’s Mint Ball to get ‘er all aglow
Now she combs the streets of Wigan, looking for Uncle Joe!

We gave some to the coalman’s ‘orse as it stood in the road
It gave a cough then beggared off with it’s cart an’ load
It ran onto the racecourse going like a bird
Covered the track with nutty slack and came first, second and third

The RSPCA have bought six tons of Uncle Joe’s
To give to all the animules to keep ‘em all aglow
Our budgie now is six foot tall, the cat is eight foot three
And all the poor brass monkeys are as happy as can be

[Mary Buttons]

That is a gem Kat love it

[tigerlady]

didn't know you could get vimto as a sweet thought it was only a drink

Vimto bonbons are yummy

[tigerlady]

Fab Kat, don't know the tune but it fits with "Ye cannae fling pieces oot a 20 story flat" perfectly .

[tigerlady]

Wonka bars!

[Kat the Cobbler]

my old man's a dustman

[tigerlady]

Not he same tune then!

[Mary Buttons]

Fab Kat, don't know the tune but it fits with "Ye cannae fling pieces oot a 20 story flat" perfectly .
:lol::lol::lol:

Wonka bars!
Willy Wonka chocolate factory

my old man's a dustman
is that the tune then Kat

[tigerlady]

The kids have been harassing SB to make her let us resume our battle! It's the ones who have been UKS members for years who want the battles to continue-they have seen the adult threads and want similar japes for themselves. There are plenty of other threads for the newbies who don't want to join in so I can't see the harm

[Kat the Cobbler]

it's like when they used to have the chat rooms and they'd kick the adults out to let the kids chat

[tigerlady]

Here's the jeelie piece song. (http://sniff.numachi.com/pages/tiJEELIEPC;ttJEELIEPC.html) Mary= a literary classic!

[tigerlady]

it's like when they used to have the chat rooms and they'd kick the adults out to let the kids chat

Not really- there are about 10 threads in that forum but we were playing on one of them!

[tigerlady]

Must be bed time- Tracie's clocked on!

[Mary Buttons]

Here's the jeelie piece song. (http://sniff.numachi.com/pages/tiJEELIEPC;ttJEELIEPC.html) Mary= a literary classic!

Definitely a classic not sure that it is literary though :lol: more Comic Cuts

[Mary Buttons]

I am not at all tired, but I really should have done some scrapping tonight but never mind I have enjoyed myself here instead.

[Kat the Cobbler]

RIght I'm off to bed because I've got uni in the morning.

[tigerlady]

Have you ever come across the poet McGonegal? So bad he's hilarious. The sad thing was he rated himself highly as a poet,

[Mary Buttons]

Good night Kat

Hilary I have heard of him think that is the one Andy, DSIL, is always speaking about, think he has some of his poems and you are right they are terrible.

[tigerlady]

Sorry Mary, I'm off too. Leaving you in Tracie's capable hands! Hope you have a good night.

[TracieDoodle]

I love uncle Joes mintballs - could really suck on one now tbh! HMMMM yummy

struggling wih q - can't believe you all gave up so easily tho! - that one will keep me awake all night - be warned though if i suddenly think of one at 4 o'clock in the morning I'll be ringing you all up to tell you!!!

[tigerlady]

I'll leave you with this (http://www.mcgonagall-online.org.uk/poems/pgdisaster.htm)

[Mary Buttons]

Evening Tracie
Hilary that is a terrible tale told in a terrible way :lol:
yes definitely the worst poet that has ever gone to print methinks :lol:

[Mary Buttons]

I will probably be awake Tracie but I bet you don't find a sweet starting with Q X or Z

[TracieDoodle]

I'm working on it mary!!

But as it is mauling my back sitting here i am going to call it a night

Hope you get a good nights sleep xx

(promise not to ring you!!):lol:

[Mary Buttons]

Good Night Tracie speak in the morning just finishing my drink then I will head for bed.

[Mary Buttons]

Clive I could do with a decent photo of you if you have one please. Your avatar is too small for me to use.

[Kat the Cobbler]

Mary I'll email you one

[weetabix]

morning all

Raining here and very dark let hope it brightens up.

Another day scrapping for me, I have a cat picture to scarp for trading faces, never done an animal before so a first for me

[Dragon Queen]

Q = ?
X = XXX mints
Z = Zappers

:D

[weetabix]

quick kat

[zahra]

Morning everyone

How sad am I, I woke up thinking, "ah, I wonder if Claire meant the eclair as in cake with cream in when I meant toffee with chocolate in" - glad to see you spent the night on the subject!!!

OK, can people help me out please (I sent Mary a PM but apparently it was a different Mary because I got an email from someone saying she hadn't a clue what I was talking about!!!!!) I need photos of the following people from the retreat because I can only get them as teeny tiny from flickr: Mary, Kat, Weety...of and Me, may have to ask you again eClaire......sorry. Who had the original Denise one? Could you email that to me as well, please?

Trying to get prepared for this weekend and next weekend ...looking forward to both!!!

[zahra]

DH has put the telly onto a boring prog and dropped off with the remote on his chest. I've no chance of changing the channel!

DH does that, too, I take it away from him and don't care if he wakes!!!!

What battle are you talking about? :blink:

[tigerlady]

Morning all. I'll email you the best pics I have of each of those people. I have the original Denise pic too.
I'm having an easy day-play this morning, haircut,more play, readymeal curry for tea :D
I want to have my hair cut short a bit like this (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=143228&cat=500&ppuser=18686) but DD and DH don't like it short-but having said that neither of them passes any nice comments when it's longer so do I go short or not?

[weetabix]

I prefer it longer Hilary if you want me to be honest, more feminine and suits you.

[tigerlady]

That's what they say- but apart from dragging a brush through it I never do anything with it

[Mary Buttons]

Morning ----I think----
Didn't go to bed till 1.00 this morning now I am suffering for it. Still will be OK when I come too

I like it Short

So thats 1 to the longs and one to the shorts

or if you count your familiy that is 3 to the longs and 2 to the shorts

Why not go short but have a softer style

[Mary Buttons]

When you go into flickr do you click on the photo then choose all sizes cos there you will find a much bigger file of each of them.

[tigerlady]

Thanks Mary I think I'm going to try to get something in between- never ends up how I want it too anyway!

[Mary Buttons]

Maybe you need to find a hairdresser who can really style your hair I know that mine is looking much better now that I have let Shelly (my hairdresser) have her way with it.

[Mary Buttons]

Zahra who did you send the pm to Have you realised I am now Mary Buttons (for the very reason I change) because there is a MaryB (no gap) and a mary b* and Weety got it wrong a while back

[tigerlady]

Maybe you need to find a hairdresser who can really style your hair I know that mine is looking much better now that I have let Shelly (my hairdresser) have her way with it.

I'm sure you're right. Because I hate hairdressers I go to a cheap village salon when possibly I'd be better going somewhere better with more highly trained staff then I might actually get a style I like.

[Mary Buttons]

And you might find you enjoy going too, I certainly do now much more that I ever did before. Shelly and I seem to get on so well its like going to a friend in fact it is going to a friend.

[weetabix]

you have quite fine hair hilary from what i remember, you could try kepping length but having some layers in to give it a bit of style

[Mary Buttons]

treat yourself sometime to a really good cut and you will probably find everyone will think and hopefully say how nice it looks.

[weetabix]

or a short robert would look nice

[weetabix]

mary has your chipboard arrived

[Mary Buttons]

Not yet but I don't think the postman has been around yet either.

Kat thanks for the photo of Clive I now have a full set.

[tigerlady]

It's very hard to find photos of hairstyles on the internet which surprises me!
Yes, Mary, my hair is very fine but I have a lot of it!

[Mary Buttons]

Weety it took me a time to work out what a short Robert was (senior moment) :lol:

[tigerlady]

here's what I keep getting any ideas before I ask SMAX?

[Mary Buttons]

Have you tried clicking the open automatically with files like this? or have you tried to open the file?

[tigerlady]

No,will try it next time it pops up! Haven't read it that closely -saw it had letters I didn't recognise so shut it down and tried whatever I was doing again!

[Mary Buttons]

hello you sexy ladies!:wub:

I have been adding to my saga - I would have added sooner but Claire has been limiting my computer access since she found me downloading the famous porn film 'confessions of a coconut':rolleyes:

Clive xxx

[tigerlady]

Scrambled my brain after the first paragraph but have bookmarked it for DH!Thanks Mary. Been hunting for a photo of me with the length of hair I want. I can picture it but it's not on either computer which means trawling through hundreds of photos.

Must have a thought about the non-kit pre cc as it's apparently worth mega points! Too late probably .

[tigerlady]

Did you get teh photos I sent last week? do you need those sending again or is this new ones you need. just let me know, I could try and send them today.

[tigerlady]

tracie just to let you know last day of oscars code today!

Ooh Tracie- no pressure there then! Will she won't she....? I think we all know the answer.
I'll let Jane slap you cos she does it better than I do!

[tigerlady]

Clive can you not count or has page four been censored?

[eClaire]

hello you sexy ladies!:wub:

Clive xxx

Clive, I am dissapointed in you. It must be those "missing years in Paris" when you picked up these bad habits!

[tigerlady]

Just looked at pre crop and I can't be faffed with it. Will do the weekly instead.
Oh and yey Comedy kings!! We're in the lead!!!

[tigerlady]

Interesting. Mary I just had that message again so ticked that box and it opened up macromedia dreamweaver. Wonder if that's interfering with UKS? May have to remove it if DQ isn't using it at present.

[Mary Buttons]

Clive very nice pages but what happened to page 4, I know that you do not have fingers to count on and can only count in binary but you should still be able to reach 4 that is 001 or off off on

[tigerlady]

Don't start him with the off off ons Mary, after the sort of films he's been watching he might get the wrong idea!

[Mary Buttons]

Me thinks it is time for Elevenses anyone going to join me in a cuppa and a biccie.

[Mary Buttons]

Never thought of that Hilary :lol:

[tigerlady]

Love a coffee please Mary.

[Mary Buttons]

right kettles just boiled help yourself

I have a chicken oxo and two ryvitas

[Mary Buttons]

Has SB relented and let you play your war games with the Kids?

[TracieDoodle]

can you make that three for coffee please Mary?

I think I can shed some light on Clive's missing page - it was just a title and he said he didn't want to fill up his gallery when he has so much story still to tell....what can I say, I thought he'd have had the sense to alter the page numbers!!

Off to catch up

oh Mary just one sugar please

[tigerlady]

Yes- we have our own thread now. The kids were enjoying it too! It's much the same as when adult teams invade other team threads and cause mayhem. Reminds me- must make some custard pies :ph34r:
Have just spent ages going through my unmounted stamps to find a tiny single candle for the weekly. Think my job for after lunch will be to sort and file the stamps. I'm going to put them in photo albums.
Will need to get ready and go in a minute as need to go to the bank too.
Back about 1.30 probably-takes forever to cut my hair usually!

Off to have my regular panic that they'll start cutting and find I've got nits!!!

[tigerlady]

oh Mary just one sugar please

So you're not quite sweet enough:rolleyes:

I don't usually panic about that until Shelly says how is your scalp. Then I think OH Dear Have I got nits, I am sure that is not what she means but that is what goes through my mind. :lol:

[Mary Buttons]

I have just choked myself on a crumb of Ryvita and I won't go away. trouble was I was on the phone trying to put something on someones answer machine at the time. Had to phone them back and apologise :lol:

[TracieDoodle]

Didn't realise there was a special place to put these LOs will have to move mine now.

[Mary Buttons]

Can't see the second one at the mo gallery is busy, I tried to change the place where my precrop sketch LO was and it crashed on me don't know whether it has changed or not now.

[Mary Buttons]

Beautiful Tracie

Yes Weety the postie has been I got the other think I was waiting for but still not sign of the chipboard. I've enquired of both sets of neighbours and they haven't been handed it so just don't know what has happened to it.

[tigerlady]

Back again. Told her to just roughly dry my hair as that's all it gets at home and it doesn't look as if I've been anywhere near a hairdressers! Feels nice though!

[tigerlady]

Beautiful Tracie

Yes Weety the postie has been I got the other think I was waiting for but still not sign of the chipboard. I've enquired of both sets of neighbours and they haven't been handed it so just don't know what has happened to it.

Did you get an email to say it had been posted? I'm sure it will still arrive in time. Our post was awful a couple of weeks back but seems to have settled down again.

[Mary Buttons]

No I didn't get an email either.

[tigerlady]

Stupid question but it wasn't in the original kit? Just wondering if she managed to complete some of the orders but not all

[Mary Buttons]

No that is the first thing I checked but there is only the pp the stamp and the shaped bits but no chipboard, what is it anyway?

[Mary Buttons]

Oh and little brilliants and I have just seen a photo corner in with the brilliants

[Mary Buttons]

Its the chipboard alphas that are not here and it does state on the invoice that they are to follow. did it come in an evelope that could be posted through the letterbox OK?

[tigerlady]

Just plain chipboard alpha about 3/4 inch high and a small corner- you'll easily be able to improvise if it is late.

[Mary Buttons]

Here I go again what size are the alphas and are they plain or covered cos I have some of my own that I may be able to use if they are the right size.

[tigerlady]

Its the chipboard alphas that are not here and it does state on the invoice that they are to follow. did it come in an evelope that could be posted through the letterbox OK?

yes, a4 size as I recall. PM Sue and check when it was posted.

[eClaire]

the chipboard I was missing was a sheet of letters

[tigerlady]

Here I go again what size are the alphas and are they plain or covered cos I have some of my own that I may be able to use if they are the right size.

I'll take a pic

[Mary Buttons]

Thats what I am missing too Claire

[Mary Buttons]

Here is what I have the biggest ones are 3" so that gives you an idea of the size of the others.

[Mary Buttons]

yes, a4 size as I recall. PM Sue and check when it was posted.

Don't remember what Sue's user name is so I can't pm her and I don't think I have an email address either.

[tigerlady]

here

[tigerlady]

The bottom right ones look about the right size

[Mary Buttons]

About and inch then yes that one should be OK if I still have the letters I need I have used quite a few of them.

[Mary Buttons]

Right remembered Sue's user name obvious really and I have pm'd her

[tigerlady]

Don't remember what Sue's user name is so I can't pm her and I don't think I have an email address either.

She's craftystash, Mary

[tigerlady]

[weetabix]

Im sure they will be with you before Saturday though so try not to worry, all the outstanding bits for the kits have been posted

[weetabix]

i have to go get iaran from nursary then school run back later x

[Mary Buttons]

I've been printing off some photos of our retreat and Just looking at ones of us in the hot tub, I could just do with sitting in there right now. help me to feel more relaxed don't know why but I feel all on edge at the mo.

[tigerlady]

Tea withdrawal!

[Mary Buttons]

Yes could be Hilary I am still only having that one cuppa in the morning. not sure if it is having any good effect yet but will persevere for a while longer.

[Mary Buttons]

I have just been to see if Neil has posted anything on facebook as he is away in Bangkok at the mo.and I have found a very old photo of him which made me laugh, good mind to do a page using it though it is a bit small so not sure how it will turn out.
Also he has been taking photos of himself posing bleery eyed into his phone camera they are not a pretty sight and he obviously thinks the same for the remarks he has added to them.

[tigerlady]

Yes could be Hilary I am still only having that one cuppa in the morning. not sure if it is having any good effect yet but will persevere for a while longer.

Who has told you to cut out tea anyway, Mary? Can you have caffeine free tea?

[Mary Buttons]

It my friend who does the aromatherapy and it is not necessarily the caffeine that is the trouble. but if it means I will be without as much pain during the night and can sleep better it will be worth it. but although I have had one good night it is often followed by bad ones so not sure if it is having the effect I want it to.

My craft room is in a mess again and I want to scrap but can't be bothered to try to find some space.

[TracieDoodle]

I AM SOOOO HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!!!!

WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO

[TracieDoodle]

The clue is in the colour font btw!!!:D

[tigerlady]

[Mary Buttons]

[Dragon Queen]

Yes- we have our own thread now. The kids were enjoying it too! It's much the same as when adult teams invade other team threads and cause mayhem. Reminds me- must make some custard pies :ph34r:

[tigerlady]

mmmm nice sharp cheshire!
I was deshanking a button with my scissors and the soft pad below my finger got in the way!

[Mary Buttons]

You should have taken some of the credit Kitty he is your bunny the only reason he got altered is because I was trying all kinds of things to make him work, in the end it just boiled down to size.

[tigerlady]

Mm used to love zubes! Was there a chocolate bar called a zoo bar?

[Kat the Cobbler]

What's a zube??

Anyone fancy a meal out somewhere different? (http://dinnerinthesky.com/)

[tigerlady]

What's a zube??

Hard black liquorice and menthol sweet. Yum. But there again one of my favourite sweets is fisherman's friends so don't trust my taste buds.

[Kat the Cobbler]

Sounds disgusting.

[zahra]

LOL! Bunny boiler!

No, DQ, DragonLady doesn't have a daughter, but she uses that name when she's travelling around and I often hear her on Radio 2 traffic news!!! (well of her, not her actually)

Yuk also to fisherman's friends!!!

[tigerlady]

I often hear mentions of Hilary Blumer on radio 2 but it's the one who lives 10 miles from me who is somewhere on DH's family tree but we've never met!

[tigerlady]

One of our Travel bugs is now in Milton Keynes and the other is in Plymouth:D
