• oooh shiny new thread!!! hopefully I MIGHT be able to keep up with this one... well for a bit anyway!!
  ooooh I want to find papermill at NEC - wanted to last time but had NO room left in my trolley!! haha!! - have started a list...
  Papermill for card/paper (errrm obviously!)
  Electric die cutter - cricut? robo - want to see demos if poss really tempted by the 'pink' cricut at the moment NOT just cos its pink honestly!!
  Nesties
  Punches
  inks for stamping - since I'm mid clearing/sorting have discovered I actually have a ton of stamps and I've never done any stamping & actually have hardly any inks and not a clue which ones to buy!!!
  Don't think my sealed tin is feeling heavy enough for my list so far and I'm bound to think of more stuff...
• Wahaaaay congrats on being the first in Popkins
• thanks!! thought I'd get in quick before everyone starts yacking - they can't arf yack on here!! otherwise wouldn't have got a look in till about page 50!!!
• Oooh shiney Thanks for a sparkly new thread Savvy
  My list is very much like yours Popkins, including electronic cutter.
  My sealed tin is none existant though
• Thanks for the shiny new thread .....
  Pepop as for the trolley they sell them in 8's ... maybe we should have a group buy I need 8 for the NEC, then Popkins will need 64 for all her stuff
  Maybe I should hire a trailer for the car?
• Just thought i would give an update of the bag sealer i got its fab been doing all kinds of bags this morning i so glad i got one now
• New thread
  Rusty The rate you lot are going I think you'll need one of these
  Oh and take the spendy elves back, I've just googled Papermill and discovered there's one reasonably near me AARGH
• Afternoon all, 'fraid darent sit too long as will fall asleep - must keep going - and its swimming AND its Parents Evening!! I want my bed!!!
  Just incase it may be of use to some of you - as I only realised they do fill your own boxes with card & paper at The Works - not sure if its only certain stores though because this one was near my mums & the one near me doesnt - thought might come in handy as there isnt a papermill near us bit of a trek to York or Metrocentre. Didnt get chance to check out the quality though
  Lovely bits & pieces for easter in the poundshops & home bargains if you want to check them out - got some cute stickers & lovely ribbons for 99p each.
  Lei, not sure if commented on your blog - but your candles are lovely
• Oh no your making the spendy elves head my way!
  Although I nipped out the range today, it's only 2 mins up the road! and bought this https://www.craftie-charlie.co.uk/my-...dstock-54.html for Ј12.99
  Gonna have to save up and go to the papermil shop, there's 2 in the next city or get OH to drive to Swindon, anyone know if the swindon one is big?
• Hey a lovely new thread, thank you Savvy
  Blimey, I now have no idea what I read catching up on thread no. 3 so sorry, no individual mentions
  I completely forgot to buy some Promarkers last night on the Pollycrafts site, what a numpty
  Did a huge supermarket shop this morning so feeling knackered, the trolley was so heavy but DS2 was an angel. He needed a wee towards the end of shopping so I dashed himn off to the loo and then when I got back I couldn't find my trolley, I thought I'd have to do all the shopping again but then found it, I'm sure someone had moved it
  Have a good rest of the day everyone and hugs to everyone who needs one/wants one x

• The Wife wanders in, has a look round, there's posh! All shiny & new.

• Flourgirl, that was a bargain at papermill as their refillable brown boxes of card were Ј5 last time i was there.

  Did anyone order the Tim Holtz TSV yesterday? I had it my basket 3 times (along with cropadile) and removed it each time, so was very good, but am kinda regretting it today. I was going to buy it using the cheque method (so that I could be sure it wasn't an impulse buy!), but am still not 100% how it works I'm assuming that if I order and say I'll pay by cheque, if I later decide that actually I don't want it, I can simply cancel the order? Can anyone confirm this as I've read of people doing it, but can't remember where!
  The-Wife - those flowers sound great and after yesterdays QVC Tim Holtz extraganza I'm so going to have a go at doing something with script and sepia tones. You've clearly started a trend
  Rusty - great cards. Love the male card it's brilliant. Thanks for the link.
  Chocolate.orange - lovely cards. Really like the Mother's Day card.
  Ali B - love your cross stitches, can't believe how quickyl you are making them.
  Sunrise 27 - love those fairy cards and box
  Tomsmum - sorry your down in the dumps, think it's this never ending Winter. Lovely card on your blog.
  Lei - love those candles.
  Thriftyscotslass - love the girls on tour card
  Saucysecrets - can you send me a link to your blog, please.
  Sorry if I've missed anyone, but it has been a marathon trying to catch up!
• What does "lignin free" mean? I've always thought it was some kind of typo
