They're Coming To Take It Away Ha! Ha!


Well today will be an interesting day. Before Christmas I had to call the TV Engineer in because we were getting lines down the picture on our TV. He knew what it was as soon as he saw it and because it's covered by insurance (thank God!) we had to wait to find out what the insurance company would decide - either replace it with a brand new TV (yes please!) or take it away and repair it. Well you can guess what the decision was...... take it away for repairs. Only trouble is, they keep it for about ten days and don't provide us with a replacement. I have a teeny weeny portable in my bedroom which we can use but bear in mind that the one which is broken is a 39" flat screen plasma...... you get the idea! Just a slight difference PLUS no Sky! It won't bother me as I don't watch a great deal of TV however, it will be interesting to see what effect it will have on the boys. I know they probably watch too much TV but sometimes, it just makes things a bit easier for me - lets me get on with jobs without them bothering me all the time! I think they're just about to rediscover the joys of playing - crikey they've got so many toys and things to do, it shouldn't really be a problem!

I've got another Fluffles card to show you today. I printed a Pink Petticoat design straight onto the card again, then added some co-ordinating PP stripe paper. The ribbon is Dovecraft (I do like this as it's only 99p for a roll in Craft Central!), brads from my craftbox and a Woodware sentiment stamped onto the paper. The image has been coloured with Brushables and layered onto more PP co-ordinating card and then mounted with foam pads.

Will be back to load another card soon.

Last of the Whipper Snappers (for the moment!!)

Morning all......is it morning already?!! Had a very hectic night.....got woken up at 1.30 am with the sound of vomit bouncing off the landing carpet!! Sam wasn't very well and didn't quite make it to the bathroom so spent most of the early hours of this morning trying to clean the landing carpet, the carpet in his bedroom, washing bedclothes and cleaning him up!!! Eventually got to bed at 4.30 am then was woken at 9.15 this morning by Sam asking me if I was getting up because his tummy was empty and he was hungry!!! Got to love 'em!! Anyway, at least he's feeling better. Got to try and phone the Carpet Cleaner in a minute and order Sam a new mattress as his is ruined....oh the fun of being a Mother!! Back to business now, here's a card I made during the week with one of my new Whipper Snapper arrivals. I don't know how often I will use this stamp but it was a case of "ooh, it's so sweet, I've just got to have it!!" I've coloured the snai...
