A Gem of a challenge #51...Kraft at Christmas

Hello me lovelies

If you have noticed i have been missing this week which i am not going to bore you with it because i feel i am always moaning but all i am going to say is...oh my we have some lovely peeps in our world who feel like they have the right to help themselves to others peeps money,
Britain is sooo proud of you!!!
NOT!!!


*counting to 10 or maybe 100...breathe slowly, calm*

Edited...I have come back to apologies for my rant after i said i wouldn't bore you with my problems but everytime i think of it, it gets me soo annoyed...mmmm...so i am ever so sorry my intentions wasn't to rant & i hope i haven't scared you all off!!
Edited part 2...Please don't worry i wasn't mugged or had purse pinched etc...it all comes down to what they called computer "hacking" into my son's Xbox live account & getting my card details which they then had a little spending spree!!

Righto me lovelies i am back today after been missing all week with my Gem of a challenge DT card, unfortunately i am not happy with my card due to my mojo doing a runner so if you find her please do show her where she lives & tell her i miss her!!
