Im back.....

Good Morning...
I'm back!.... had computer and houses problems...my new computer is up and running...had to get a computer man in to transfer all my images and photos... great fun...NOT....getting into my web sites...the only which wont let me is Docrafts....even try a new email and pass word...pain in the bum!!!...then had to go and buy a new camera as my old one the card is too big to fit into my new computer ....
and on top of everything ive got a on going leak in the back wall of my house where the conservatory is on it....so I had a builder in to have a look....When I looked at the houses last year it been "done up" to sell and the leak had been plastered over and is now spreading over the wall....I have insurance with Churchill....but will only pay out £480.00 and i have excess of £450.00....so i looks like i have to pay all of it myself....I have never made a claim...the the guy at Churhill was so unhelpful....so I be looking for a new insurance company thats for sure!!!

On today's card....sorry its a bit dark....cant seem to brighten it....I got a new die as a christmas gift....no name....but it looks like Marianne but flip side! I used some old gold card,linen card and pale yellow card....and one of my new vintage images...leaves Sizzix....flower from Memory Box...and a few pearls....
