Daily Chit Chat

Hi Pam, I think they have all gone AWOL!!! How did the break go, well I hope?

Hi Liz, yes thank you we had a lovely time and the weather was glorious, I could easily get used to having my meals cooked for me!!!!!!!

Glad you had a great time Pam, it's lovely to be spoilt and waited on every now and then.

It's been a glorious day here, sun shining and lovely and warm. Me and hubby took time out from decorating and housework to go on a bike ride round Bosham harbour. About half way round I spied an ice-cream van. Must have one of those I thought, so I had a double 99 (very naughty)and Roger had a caramel something. We sat with our feet dangling over the quay, it was just so nice to relax and enjoy the day.

Sounds like you had a fab day Kerry. It was quite warm round us today but as the afternoon plodded on it got clowdy and grey! Still not too cold as I have just taken Amber to CU and I didnt freeze. What's anybody working on at present?

I've just got some new Tim Holtz distress inks, so I'm having a play with those. I have loads of cards to make for April, so I started those today. I've made 2 anniversary cards already plus 1 more to make, plus loads of birthdays too.

Well done Kerry, a busy little bee! How is the job hunt going, anything in the pipelines?

Hi Sandra how is the DH, any news yet?

Hi liz he is still in hospital they have done the scan on his leg and no dvt
Finally got his specialist for his chest to come and see him after daughter phoned his secretary wanting to know why he was not being monitored while he was on steroids and all the things wrong with him was side effects of the steroids he today finalyagreed to take him off them so fingers crossed he should pick up now.

That sounds more positive news for you Sandra. Steroids are very powerful drugs but also carry with them major side effects as you have discovered. I often think medical treatment is a 'job for the boys' as soon as they treat one problem the side effects cause another problem that their collegues nedd to look at!

Has anybody read their cricut newsletter yet? I thought this section was particularly relevant to earlier discussions:-

Glad you had a nice breakway Pam

Chris

Good morning Ladies,

Sandra, I am pleased to hear that they have sorted your DH problems out and hope he feels better soon.

Chris, I thought you had gone AWOL like me but glad to see you back, enjoy the NEC and don't spend too much. I wish I lived nearer to Birmingham as I would have gone to the Show as I missed Harrogate this time.

Kerry, I would like a "99" next with two flakes please!!!!!!

Pam

99's all round then, anyone for sprinkles

It's lovely here again today, just a light breeze. Glad there's no DVT Sandra, that's a relief. No sign of a job yet Liz, not sure what I fancy doing, but I keep looking.

I'm all about the flakes, has to be Cadbury though!!!!

I have been a little bit awol, I go have phases of reading obsessively and I'm going through one at the moment

I am going to pootle along to the NEC tomorrow, I wasn't sure until yesterday that I was definitely going, I more or less TOLD my boss was having the day off, I'm in danger of burning out if I don't have a break, I've had so much going on emotionally that being busy at work was actually a real help but it's getting a bit much now. Hopefully it'll slow down next week though.

Going to go and make a cuppa

Love to you all

Kxx

Hope you have fun at the NEC Kat. I'd love to go, but it's at least 5 hours driving with out any traffic jams. One day perhaps.

hiyah peeps! i have definately been AWOL!
poor little mo was ill all weekend, much better today though, still croaky and cute but his runny nose is subsiding and the yukky huge sore bit under his nose is getting better with cream!!
then i have been busy making a football cake for my big boy! he is 11 today. i am no great cakey maker but i was very proud of this one!! lol!!! its on my blog if you want a peeky at it.
the weather here has been beeeeeautiful, warm and sunny and yummy!!

oh kat i am so sad i cant come to the NEC, payday is friday but pennies are so tight i cant do the travelling down there bit, sob sob!!!!!though we do have a sincerely yours show here in lincoln in may.

hugs xxxx

I dont have a "Wishlist" for NEC. EVeryone tell me what you love atm, give me some ideas

Oh Kat, where would like to me start.... Tim Holtz inks, stamps and dies, vintage and sentiment clear stamps by anyone - just what takes my fancy, October Afternoon, Crate Paper, 7 Gypsies, Basic Grey and Cosmo Cricket etc paper pads, embossing folders, buttons, ribbons, ribbons, buttons Sure there's more stuff I would love too.

I suppose as it is very quiet on here today everyone must be at the NEC and if this is the case did you find anything new and exciting to share with us?

I've not been to the NEC Pam but did have jobs to do in the garden whilst the weather was with us! Then I had to go fetch another cart from the PO and pay my £11.79 with a smile whilst gritting my teeth and thinking why oh why but as the cart only cost $32 I should not moan but feel like it, but then the other cart arrived last week and I didnt have to pay anything on that!

It seems very quiet on here for the past week or more. I pop in and out when I can and rarely see many folks on, at the moment.

Hi Liz, you must have been very unlucky having to pay that amount to the PO! The weather has been glorious the last few days but it looks as though it is coming to the end for some of us tomorrow. My DH has spent that last two days in the Garden planting his precious dahlias!!

Pam

Mine was just clearing dries leaves dust, dead plants etc! I heard about the weather so thought better not leave it til the weekend when DH would be available to have done it.

Think my luck has taken a holiday at the moment apart from the bad variety!

Well another day of sunshine by the looks of it, so suppose it will be really quiet on here again! I am off in moments to do the weekly shop with bro, see how fast we can get it done then back home and to the garden I hope but I do have to take my car in to the garage as I have a bulb gone in my lights, if I am on full beam I am fine so for the past week on my cheuffeuring duties I've left them up full and been cursed at by loads of drivers around the county. Amazing how when you dont want to go out at night you suddenly need to go out twice as often!!!! Sods law or what?

Well better poop off so ready for bro as he is now late so will come in and want to go straight out!

A lovely day here again. I put a thermometer outside in the sun and it measured 39.5 degrees. Our back garden is sheltered which helps, but I was surprised how warm it was. We've been gardening again, but you have to make the most of it

Morning Peeps

I know don't faint I'M BACK.

Weather has been so nice that my garden has called me in too clean her up.
We have planted some fruit trees a Bramley , Russett and a Pear tree, then we started to clear all the leaves up as we live in a Wood we have so many of the blessed things and with all that snow and ice at Xmas we have lost a few plants and shrubs.

I wish I could grow Dahlias but the rabbits & slugs love too much, most of what we grow have to be very hardy and Rabbit & slug proof

Went to NEC very disapointing only 1 stall sold Cricut goodies and the carts were not the new ones but I did buy wrap it up those images are so cute. Bought glue, paper, ribbon, and blades Mats etc just the essentials. Also bought lots of LOTV stamps I just love them and they are reasonable price too.

I watched a demo on Copic markers and the lady told me which ones to buy first and she gave me the image for me to copy for practice

Over on the Imagine UK forum a lady in the sates has just bought me lori's Garden I'm so excited cant wait to get her home.

Looks a bit cooler her today so might only garden for the morning as we have motor racing on later so DH will wont to watch that so I'll be in to craft.

Time for Breackie
see you later

i have been busy for a few days making some wedding bits for one of the girls at work! its all good fun!! 13 more bits to go!! but they are all cards so not too bad! i popped the guest book and bridesmaids cards on my blog.( i always worry about taking up all the photo memory on here liz!!xxxxx)
