ps thankyou again for the nice comments xx

Yes Dee it is back to normal but most of the washing was down whilst I was away, Hotel Launderette's are very useful, never tried them before!!!! the worst thing is having to plan meals again, 5 weeks of eating out was a luxury I could easily live with

Pam back to good old baked bean on toast then is it,first thing we have come back from a trip to florida,we love them when we have been eating out a lot, they go down a treat with a proper cup of tea

Hi Lou have had a look at you blog great cards live the flower

Welcome back home pam. Are you going to any of the demo at insperations in feb or any of the workshops there is a couple of demo I fancy now just have to sort the time to go

Hi Dee, I will try when the kids are off school and husband is on the right shift to come down to one of Fi's crafty days. Derby isn't that far away

Hi Sandra,

Yes I am doing 2 workshops at Inspirations, Monday morning with Mel Heaton and Wednesday morning with Sam Poole, which workshops are you interested in?

Pam

Oh it's very quiet on here today,, ummmm wonder what you are all up to.

Hi Dee
I was wondering what everybody was up to today as it is very quiet. Perhaps everybody is out bagging bargains or spending their hard earnt dosh some other way! I cant wait to see our next guest designer's project tomorrow.

Hi
I'm here just a quick hello as I'm trying to get lots done before club on Sat. It's the first one this year and have so missed it and everyone else. Hope everyone is fine and has got rid of the colds and bugs. If anyone every fancys a trip over to the lovely Lincoln we would love to have you join us one Saturday or even if you fancy a trip over for a cuppa, my door is open.
Fi xx

What a generous offer Fi, you could end up with a kitchen full of crafters! Have you got enough room?

Oh more the merry Liz we have plenty of floor space !!! move the furniture we will all fit in !!!

Will definitely have to pop over to see you and Lou at some point in 2011 Fi

OH fiona would'nt it be great if we had some people from the mb come to see us at are C C C C (crafty cricut chat club) just made that up

It would be really lovley to see any of you, we are a great bunch of crafting girl's and very friendly we wont bite, but you may be on coffee duty, i'm not from lincoln myself i travel about 30-45min's but it's worth the travel.

Now a bit of new's my son (shaun) has moved air cadet's he has to because he can'nt do the CI training with the cadet's where he was based (ci is a person who teachers the air cadet's and put's them through their exam's),he has been upgraded in his rank as well.,

Congratulations Dee for your son my son is in the military cadets has been for the past year and thoroughly enjoys it and has quite brought him out from being shy and retiring - maybe a bit too much at times! He is going to do his Duke of Edinburough through them.

Liz my son is a bit like that or should i say was every since he joined it changed him, before he started he did'nt mix very well and did'nt do much of any thing, every thing changed when he joined,now he has no time to be in he has two nights at collage doing electrical and two night's at cadet's and also fit's the gym in phew make's me sleepy just thinking about it and on top of all that he is doing child care and teacher training in a school four day's a week,the only problem is he dose'nt get paid

It is very quiet on here today, I am still catching up with all the posts but nearly there!!!
Fi, I wish I lived near Lincoln as I would love to come to your Craft Club.

Hi Liz Josh is also doing his Duke of Edinburgh through school (bronze) he is doing his practice walk in March, ready for the big one in June. I have a big list of things he needs ( walking boots, water proofs, large rucksack, the list goes on and on ) god noise how much that's going to cost. Anyway at least he's happy. He stays over at school on a Friday night to practice his map reading and learning how to cook pasta, they have not got the cooking of the pasta quite right yet, they keep on over cooking it and it goes sloppy. At first I was having sleepless nights worrying that they will get lost , wont be able to cook anything , but talking to some of my friends from work whose children have done it they said it is all very controlled and there is marshals at stop off points so im hoping they will be fine , no they will be fine


Fi Im off in Feb (school Hol week) will you be doing any craft workshops then

Hi Lesley I know what you mean about the never ending list, when Dom joined cadets I was told he didnt need to buy anything apart from a set of boots, so all sounded great, then came the first stop over night so he needed sleeping bag and ground mat - then the bloody event never came off! At least it was one thing bought then he had a cadet weekend so he needed mess tins, water bottle, burgin, waterproofs torch, head torch, compass ...... webbing and god knows what else well actually I do know the next thing is a little stove thingy, tent, plus ............................................................ the lists just go on and on and whilst they are growing do you buy too big and they brake their necks in it or buy it to fit and have to replace it. Dom was very quiet had his few close friends and 24/7 was on his computer, Wii, playstation or Xbox 360 but now it is 2 nights a week cadets, one night karate and then some weekend things with the cadets - Mum of course being cheuffeur so all this can take place.
Not sure what happened near us today there was some big accident at a set of crossroads perhaps 250 yds from us and it had the road closed and the air ambulance had to land on the road - I am assuming it was pretty bad as they sent the helicopter otherwise it would have been an ordinary ambulance out of Derby or Belper. There are painted lines in pink and blue all over the road and broken glass and metal but all vehicles had been removed by the time I did the school run. The air ambulance was circling round several times before it could actually land and was down on the ground a good 30/40 mins before it took off again. Quite sad really as today was the funeral of a lady in the next village who was an after school carer and dinner lady, she had been knocked down in the village on 11/1/11 and died on reaching the hospital, driver wasnt injured and that was an accident at 545am and didnt make sense at all.
Lesley have you tried Anchor supplies in Ripley for some of your sons stuff, that is where we get lots of Dom's stuff for cadets from.
Oh well better get back to the kitchen by big daughter (by age she is only 5' 2" tall and Dom is 5' 6") is coming for dinner with her fella. Check back later.

OH dear just had a text from fiona and she is not a happy bunny she has a power cut,

Poor Fi hope it doesnt last too long.

Morning ladies,

Happy birthday Kate, have a great day.

Must get crafting, not done anything - tons of ironing to be done, why couldn't creases be in fashion - now there's a thought.......
