Hi SH!
Where do you get the lovely cases like the ones in the link with the cream/brown muffin?
I sell Virgin Vie and could make those up and seel them at school party nights coming up to xmas!
Anymore money-making ideas?
Thank you for your explanation on £10/day:T , I really love this site, makes you feel less alone with your problems!

Try eBay, I got some lovely strawberry waxed paper ones for there that I intend to use as part of my xmas baskets.

Good luck

I have been busy in the kitchen this morning making bread, buns, chicken casserole and giant yorkie puds and just made some rice krispie buns they are setting in the fridge, think I will drizzle some choc on them when they are ready

hope everyone is ok xx

Thanks SC,
You have been busy, can you send some of that lovely baking my way please? DH only commented yesterday (bless him, NOT!!!) that I haven't done any baking for a while, do you think it was a hint? ha ha

Hi Ruby - you're doing brilliantly and it's great you started a diary. You've given me so much encouragement over the past couple of months, thank you. I know the feeling you talked about, that finally you're in control. I've started doing what you're doing, putting money that has been budgetted for other things aside, so I don't just dip into it, and living on £100 cash a week for all shopping. It makes a huge difference. I also recogniose those head banging against the wall moments too, of "how could we have been so stupid?" Self-awareness isn't always easy, but we're here for each other on this board and on the road to getting out of our debt messes. I look forward to keeping up with your diary!

Hi there FMN,
Thanks for reading my diary and your very kind words. Like you said we are all here to support each other and it is great that we have all had our LBM instead of blindly carrying on with our old ways.

Good luck with your DMP I will be popping in regularly to read how you are getting along.

Also Sistercas, this is a lovely store to buy the toppings if you were thinking of doing flannel cup cakes like the pictures linked to earlier in the diary.

Some nice cases, white or coloured flannels or socks folded into them, then a lovely soap or bath bomb sat on top!!!

I am planning on giving as many as these out as I can, will definetly give to DD's teachers.


LOL
