Good morning peeps,
It's official, I hate shopping! Hubby is on holiday next week so we are going to be decorating Jodie's bedroom as she insists she's never leaving home, & I got soooo fed up with looking at wallpaper, paint, furniture, carpets, curtains, accessories, etc etc, it was all whizzing around in my head & now I can't even remember what style of furniture I ordered after looking at so many so that will be a surprise when it's delivered, hopefully a nice one or I'll be in trouble with Jode lol.
Today is new challenge day at
& this week our challenge is

My post got a little delayed in finishing as a very nice man bought me a lovely box of goodies from Simon Says Stamp which I ordered last Tuesday night which was delivered quicker than some UK stores so I'm a very happy girlie with lots of new goodies to play with, take a peek
Things went a little down hill after my initial smiles at my new goodies as I had one of those con men on the phone telling me he had detected serious malware in my computer but if I followed his instructions he could help me so he made me swear at him when I not so politely told him to go away lol. I wonder how many times these con artists will ring before they finally get the message & stop calling, it's no wonder I hate the phone when people make me swear lol.
Thanks for stopping by

Oh Mandy hunni, this is adorable. I love the sweet colours you've used and the layout is just perfect. Lucky you with all those goodies. You know - when we get cold callers round Graham always sends me to the door because he knows I will send them away with a flea in their ear.
ReplyDeleteOnce (several years ago) Graham was in the pub with him mates and a group of Double Glazing salesmen entered the pub - do you know what Graham's reaction was???? "Hey up fellas - look for the one with the limp - Dawn's in on her own tonight!!" Cheek! LOL
You go for it girl - then send them up my way and I'll give em both barrels too!! LOL

ReplyDeleteHi Mandy lovely card as always. I'm struggling a bit with the PATP, yours look so good but the few I've punched all seem to have a glitch somewhere on them, maybe I'm just not taking enough time and care when punching but I'll keep at it.
