New House!!!! I wonder what Part 38 will bring! More mischief I expect!!

Wow a new house. Very apt that we get a new house on the day of the album release. We start a new beginning together.

I'll stick the kettle on and get some nice scented candles burning

That's exactly what I was thinking!!!

I can't believe how amazing the album is!
Nice flow to the songs as well.

It's not every day you get to see the birth of a superstar, but last year on XF we did

Starlight is really gonna put Matt on the map. No doubts there.

Well - I just came home from work, and there is no CD in my post. No CD from Amazon and no CD from Play. Rubbish!!!! However, the new coffee machine I ordered for the staff room on Friday arrived this afternoon at 2.00pm - they can do it when they want to! I have now downloaded from ITunes!!

I was just replying to this when we moved!!
Afternoon everyone!
Just thought i’d come on here to share a little moment I had this afternoon.
As a few of the old posters may remember I’m from Matts town of Halstead. I don’t know Matt personally and I’ve never met him , but over the past year I’ve realized that I know lots of people that do know Matt. No one has a bad word to say about him by the way.!
Anyway this afternoon I went into my local Sainsburys store in Halstead (its one of the smaller stores). Went up to the music to get my Letters CD only to find there were none left. It had sold out. I tottered off to do my daily shop, and was about to go to the till when I thought I’d just go back and double check the music again. Would you believe it another 2 Letters CDs had mysteriously appeared in what 2 minutes before had been an empty slot. I quickly grabbed one of them and headed to the till. I stood at the till waiting my turn, I glanced back to the albums and spotted a lady go up to the albums and pick the last one up, look at it and put it down again. The lady looked slightly familiar. She then came to stand right behind me in the queue. I was trying to remember where I knew her from, like you do. I turned round to get another look at her, just as she was looking over my shoulder to look at my CD. It was then it clicked. It was Matts mum. We both looked at each other. I didn’t say anything to her and she didn’t say anything back. It all felt a bit weird actually. I was thinking on my way home as a mother she must find it so hard listening to all the stories that are written about her son. I know I would.
By the way the album was No1 on the Sainsburys chart with NG in 2nd behind.
See ya later x

What a lovely story..she must be so proud of her boy...she and Matt's dad should be proud of themselves too for raising such a charming, not to mention supremely talented young man!

Amazon has been really rubbish lately. Mine hasn't arrived yet, so thank god for digital songs

Enjoy it Katie!!! Make sure you post your thoughts on the album!!

I went over to the Frankie thread - work of sheer genius. Toasted, I admire your dedication --- 100 votes! I'm humbled by the well considered posts. Tears are running down my face and shrieks of.. appreciation are issuing from my lips.

God I love it here!!...trying to reply to you pair with acoustic letters playing in my ears via good headphones ...pass the tissues would ya
It's really difficult to concentrate on anything whilst listening to his acoustic tracks..what a bloody voice he has

Same here Nothing from Play or Amazon. So fed up I've bought it from iTunes. But don't know when I can play it as I promised my OH I only bought the one CD. Will have a sneaky listen when kids in bed.

MF still hideous as ever I see.

Lovely to be in a new house. Last thread was an emotional rollercoster ride.

Ohh have just be listening to the chocolate ooooooooh

Same here OH went out and insisted he bought me a copy. bless him.m

Really I have never noticed. LOL

mita! I've been eager to hear your thoughts!!! What do you think so far??

Ooohh......we moved whilst I was listening to letters on YT

New home on album launch day

What a great and very fitting day to start Cardle Cutting No.38


I agree that Mummy and Daddy Cardle must be very proud of their boy They certainly looked it when I saw them at Koko a couple of weeks ago

Vicreds - What a coincidence that you were so close to Matt's mum I bet you were both tempted to say something to each other!!! I'm not surprised you kept quiet - I would probably have done the same.

I wouldn't have known, lol. I'd be like, "What are you looking at!?'

Lovely words Marianner..have to agree

Just realised we have moved I was drowning in chocholate.ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

At one point at Koko before the gig Matt's dad and Sarah were right behind myself and Mita chatting with Ali and a few others I just couldn't bring myself to interrupt him. Also Ali was there before the others for a bit and it was only when Pie popped up to say hello and when we pointed him out to her she started talking to him and then Mita and I said hello

Its lovely chocolate isn't it Mita

Yaaay -house #38. I guessed you must've moved 'cos I was half way through a multi-quote post and suddenly everything got lost and now I can't remember what I was quoting.

oh yes, one of them was about the NG comments - reverse psychology perhaps? Anyway I would imagine NG's a shoe-in for #1 (though you never know!!) and I've no complaints about that at all; really looking forward to hearing his album actually but that'll have to come later, I can only concentrate on one thing at the moment

Also want to welcome the lovely, one and only, Chosenturbo to her new life on UK shores ((((big welcome hugs))))

Yes Denj we felt we did not want to disturb them didn't we then as you say Pie came to find us and woooow we all got a hug from the one the only Ali. He said aww to me bless him whilst hugging a sitting woman.

What's that creaking I hear in the MF? Oh as predicted it's the sound of goalposts being moved.

Now that it's looking likely he will chart in the top 2 albums, suddenly it's gone from he 'won't make the top 10' to an acceptance of 'of course he will chart at number 1/2' but 'hey look at the giant flops that also made these positions, and the generic 'my cat could be number 1' posts. (Without mentioning the appalling sales of said acts like Andy Abraham but anything to make them feel better eh.)
Then there's the posters who are saying it doesn't matter what he sells this week, it's all in the longterm, which I completely agree with but those same people weren't saying that last week.
