mmmmm wonders what part of nfk your from then :~

i'm near beccles just into norfolk i wanted to move back to suffolk but this was as close as we could get lol
we live on a boat so our side of the river is norfolk and the other is suffolk lol

oh luvely. Im from Yarmouth originally, but now actually live not far from you, in North Suffolk (Lowestoft). Its about sixty miles to fakenham I think, so upon reflection its about 120 mile round trip - still far far too far! I work a bit father south, in Halesworth so I must have had my "halesworth" head on when I overestimated earlier.. lol If I still lived in Norwich, like i did a few years back, the trip would have been more do-able.

i was brought up in nch and the wifey works in low lol

we'll have to meet up at some point
i'm sited down at waveney river centre

best thing about going to listerwood is the chocolate factory in fakenham, now sited inside aldiss (not aldi lol) and makes any trip to that part of the world worthwhile - yum yum

Ohh I likes the waveney river center, me and the wife hired one of the log cabins this feb, for a bit of a getaway that was "local", first time out of the house with our new baby so didnt want to travel far.

Ok so regarding the original chat, ive spent another 1.99 on another silicon mat (I am still working on how to make my own cheapie mug wraps) which now bring the whole cost to £163.13 The place where I work has mentioned that they are gonna get some mugs done "in ASDA" for the school leavers this year, and I mentioned that I might be able knock them out, so they have given me a photo of the building and Im gonna show them Monday how they come out (having not seen ASDA's mugs I dont know how my mug will compare regarding quality). Anyway, it was another opportunity to play with settings and waste yet another blank mug ho ho!! Heres the picture. I managed to get a little of the text smudged unfortunately (think it might had been a fumble when taping on the transfer paper - advise please everybody - how long do you wait after printing on the paper before attempting to stick it to the mug? Well here are the photos; the first photo tries to show the color match between monitor screen and the mug. Whilst the mug is in focus, unfortnately the monitor screen isnt, as it is further away, but I think ive done well (considering my cheapo setup!!) getting the colours fairly close. The second photo shows my errors, there is slight fading near the top and the text has a bit of black overspill. In the third photo I am trying to show how close I can get to the handle, and this side of the mug came out quite well I thought, you can see lots of detail, such as in the bushes and steps. Your criticims and feedback and ideas [ATTACH=CONFIG]358[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]359[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]360[/ATTACH]please!

For some reason this website decided to upload image 2 first, so the order of the photos is now 2, 1, 3 (if that makes sense?)

the picture came out ok but as you say the text is smudged well done
esp for doing it so cheaply :~
