Well there's good news and bad news.......

The good news is that we go on holiday a week tomorrow. The bad news is that I've just discovered the kiddies passports ran out today. So next Thursday I will be in the Newport Passport Office with my fingers crossed, hoping that I have filled the forms in correctly, and that Tom and Katie don't look like terrorists in their new passport photos. ( They couldn't work out why I always tell them to smile when I take their photos, but today I was outside the photo booth telling them 'don't smile this is costing me £3.50 a go!') Are there are scrapbooking shops in Newport? I may as well turn this to my advantage if I can! Oh no, I can't 'cos I won't have any money 'cos the passports are going to cost me £166.00. I am so annoyed with myself for cocking this up.

Some day my 'prints' will come!

Last week I ordered some prints from Snapfish.co.uk. It is the first time I have used them, and I'm still waiting for my photos. I e-mailed their customer service dept, and received an automatic e-mail telling me they would get back to me in 1 to 2 days! I expected them to come back to me immediately, this is not good enough, and so I thought I would have a moan about them here. There, I feel better already. Moan over.

Happiness is.....

when you have found a new craft shop, that is within walking distance. Admittedly it has been there a couple of months, but today is the first time I have actually been inside. It's called something like Beads and Crafts, or is it Crafts and Beads, well it doesn't matter, what does matter is that I went in and I was very restrained and only bought a clear embossing pad. The shop doesn't stock much but is very handy for the basics such as Papermania stuff, inks and stamps. It is no where as lovely as Crafty Pastimes ( Hi Linz) and therefore I only spent £2.00, as opposed to the £50+ I spend in Linz's shop (good thing she's so far away).
