Oh your so right about the XCut Xpress I bought mine after my GC went away for repair, 8 weeks it took Dundee Hobbycraft to get it back, you were lucky as I was told that they only send back no refunds etc. I have enjoyed every minute of my X Cut, yes you have to turn the knob/dial on the top for different thickness of card, but you soon just know. Enjoy using it.

Hope you all have a great day. Mrs B. Will be interested to hear how you get on with your X Cut Express. My GC is not working very well, keep having to put dies back through as they have not cut all of the card. I do have a Sizzix Big Shot will lift off the shelf where it has sat since I got my GC. And see if the results are any better.<br />Happy Sunday to everyone, Brenda xx<br />Brenda https://www.blogger.com/profile/14121800821999942200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-774040390059165772014-12-21T09:02:29.135+00:002014-12-21T09:02:29.135+00:00Hi Sandra. Thank you for taking the time to blog w...Hi Sandra. Thank you for taking the time to blog when you are so busy. I know you will have a lovely time seeing your Mum and family, such a shame the journey is going to cause you so much pain though. How nice that Matt is driving so that Paul gets a chance to relax as a passenger for a change. You have chosen some lovely gifts for the family, your niece will love her dolly, pram etc : ) We are still busy but am on track to have our "shopping free" Christmas Eve, thank goodness : ) Poor Pat, I do hope she has managed to get through the nightmare at her doctors surgery to get some stronger painkillers, it's so sad to see her in so much pain. I took my Grand Calibur back to Hobbycraft on Friday (it was leaving oil streaks on the plates etc. this time! This was the third one I have had in just over two years the others had been replaced because of broken handles!) Afyer reading reviews I have now got a X Cut Xpress. Do I like it? No.........I LOVE IT. Haven't had time to really put it through its paces yet but so far it cuts and embosses beautifully, and so quickly and easily. I will be interested to know what you and Pat think once you've had a play with it in the New Year. I must mention what fantastic service I got from the Swindon branch of Hobbycraft again. Every time I have returned my broken Grand Caliburs I have offered a replacement or full refund immediately, no fuss or bother and with apologizes for the trouble I have had. They are so friendly and can't do enough to help. I know Hobbycraft is often more expensive but the Swindon branch certainly can not be faulted over their returns attitude. I am so glad that I got my machines from them, it has saved me so much stress. <br />Anyway, wishing you all a safe and trouble free journey. Have a great day my lovely. Take care. xx Mrs Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179962719631818018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-91525114913755978992014-12-21T06:55:13.625+00:002014-12-21T06:55:13.625+00:00Hi Sandra.

I've been enjoying your posts but I'm very pleased that you have decided to take a day off, it's lovely though just to be able to stop by for a quick chat. I hope you have an easy and uneventful journey and the most wonderful time with your Mum.

It's a busy time for everyone and we are all feeling the pressure. You have done so well to post every day so far and you have even found time to put up what you have written, I take my hat off to you. You enjoy your family time, I know that you have a long journey ahead of you, we lived in Devizes and use to travel to Colchester ( we started married life there) and the roads were not the bottle necks and huge hold up that we seem to get now. So safe journey.
