    Morning everyone,

    I think take a break accumulates pretty quickly too, probably because it seems that they give out as many 25p's as 10p's, where are Butlins is mostly 10p's. Speaking of which I got 5 x 10p's today :(. I did it at 12.30 last night hoping getting in early might help but no such luck.

    I think trying silver plated stuff would be a good idea mm, if you would like to know where to get cheap supplies let me know and I can give you some places to have a look at.

    I've managed to get a cough since last night so I'm going to get some covonia soon. I hope it goes away soon as I didn't sleep very well. I still have £72 in HMV....hmmm

    Thnaks Nicki-you know me though-ive already ordered it lol! rang the manager and she thought it was a great idea-we can sell for £15 a set, i'll get £9 of that and they will cost me about £2 to make not bad! found a place on ebay for the findings, 99p for 100 headpins, £3.79 for 5 x 18" trace chains- 60p p&p first item and 5p each item after, didnt thnik that was too bad?
    Spent about £15 in all but that includes boxes and enough stuff to make about 50 sets!

    Hope your cough gets better soon.

    Well done on your purchases Jen lol at 330 on shoes, i always do the same and dont press the shift in time and end up with 3 instead of £

    Hope you have a good day yukki-even with DD's dad :-/

    Hi Hayley-good luck with the shopping! I really need to go grocery shopping but cant be arsed-its cold out there!
