Apparently the problem was a crank shaft sensor ... I got the call this morning ... only £150 including VAT ... phew I thought! Then Mr Garage Mechanic made that awful sucking through his teeth sound and I had to sit down!
The brake discs needed replacing ... the auxhilary belt was perishing and the exhaust was about to drop off ... when I heard the price for that little lot ... I needed to lay down in a darkened room! Luckily ... the wonderful John stepped in and paid the bill ... when I am moaning about him later in the week ... please do feel free to give me a nudge and remind me what a truly wonderful guy he is!
Those of you that were sick to the back teeth of my demo tags are going to get a little break today ... I say little and today because I still have a whole load of demo tags to show you ... to be honest I am amazed at how many tags I actually made during Ally Pally!Righty-Ho ... talking of classes ... I am in full swing designing my next release that will be available for booking at LB Crafts in early May!
Laters!

Gorgeous - I love that B Line stamp too, and don't use it often enough.
Ouch at the car repairs - and lucky you having John to pay the bill, lol!

Sorry about your car :( ..don't they cost the earth!!
Cars and cats... both seem to cost a fortune!! Had mine at the vets twice this month and its over $800 so far... and none of its covered by the insurance I pay monthly! Typical...
Love the card, gorgeous colours!!
cars are a real pain, the last class I attended a couple of weeks back with Lin, half way down the motorway my exhaust fell off, luckily hubby came to the rescue and paid the bill, we moan like mad about them but they do have their uses......lol
poor poor car but lovely John coming to the rescue. Love the card, that stamp is gorgeous x

Thats gorgeous Linda, Glad you hear your car is better too, mine's going in for MOT this week & I'm dreading the "sucking in of air" noise that the mechanic will make, I know its 4 new tyres & squeaky brakes in the least :(.

Glad the car is sorted even if it did cost an arm and a leg! And lovely reinky stuff too!
good to hear you have wheels again...even if they did cost an arm and a leg!

Lovely card. Glad to hear your car is better even if she was an expensive little madam!
Saw one of Lin's tags when I went to a friends yesterday so now feeling pig sick that I couldn't afford it. Looks like you guys did wonders with the Fresco paints.
