Hello ladies well I am hopefully going to sort my wardrobes out this weekend and see what I have already got. Reminder your task by 25th Jan is to sort out your present cupboard and notebooks.

How can you mention the w and c words in the same post :rotfl:.

I haven't had any wardrobes for over 2 years and the only cupboards we have are in the kitchen - OH is fed up of me gazing longingly at the Ikea catalogue .

I will have wardrobes this year I will I will I will :rotfl:

Afternoon everyone:j

I have a confession - I've been definitely NOT money neutral today. I've just been to Craft Central (the one near me is selling off stock from all the other branches) and spent £25 :eek: and thats with a 49% discount :eek: .
I now have to start making cards for people to try and justify the amount I've spent there recently.

I think I need to pay a visit to the 'Up Your Income' board

Hi - the Rudolf club - is that a separate thread? Can't find it anywhere. Do have the notebook - actually I have 6 notebooks - don't ask :rotfl: but no presents as yet.
Came across this site - through comps - great stuff on crafts and SCRAPBOOKING !!! - might help someone.

And on the money neutral front - still can't work out the "clicky" - I must be really dumb as everyone here seems to know how to make extra cash, earn vouchers etc. but I am very new to this so at the moment I am just saving £2 coins in the piggy bank, budgeted £100/year for buying clothes, £200/month for groceries - so far. Trying to think of more to do to make some extra cash, save cash and ENJOY myself as well!!!

thanks mel for your comments and for the one on my scrapping site.

Thanks mum2one my first half cost order came today and I was really impressed with what I got - am now hooked!!!

Ah so want to try superdrug tomorrow - wouldn't dare attempt it with little one at the moment - being back at school has hyped her up big style and she's like a mini whirlwind at the moment.

I know I must, lol, I keep having ideas & need 1 to fulfil them, so frustrating cutting by hand, specially if its something I need lots of. Hmmm, off to check how much Sizzix machines are selling for & to ponder whether to sell mine to get a robo instead.

Lol, have to have plenty of stops for cuppas then wont we Mel, spend all the money we've saved on bargains that way though.

Isnt Yam wolvo way? I know Telford was originally an overspill from brum & wolvo but its a lot softer accent due to being so close to Wales (I think)

Well done bunbun, nice start. I couldnt have 1 I could get into, I'd dip into it, lol

I currentely live in Tipton and was trying to impersonate all the scary dudley type people that live around here and talk a foreign language. Yam saft.

I want one of those iced mocha chocolate doofahs they are delicious let's shop!! I don't know how much sizzix sell for but I read somewhere you can put Cuttlebug dies through them to emboss and they are bringing out gorgeous Hello Kitty dies *shriek*

I had loads of ideas for Robbie Robo.. err.. He doesn't get used a lot:rotfl:

It's just my layouts that I've uploaded on my ukscrappers page that mel commented on, that's the link above, feel free to look around, I haven't posted anything new there lately - I should though cos I think I'm getting a bit better than I used to be

scattymam1

there's about 9 layouts on there if you flick through the thumbnails underneath the main picture - you get loads of good ideas on ukscrappers and it's free by the way

furrypig

thanks scattymam I had looked at the lovely layouts of your mum but hadn't realised there were more, they're great!

I thought maybe you had a blog and I love reading other people's blogs and thought maybe I could become one of your followers!

Do upload some more!! I will try ukscrappers again but was disappointed when the person who adopted me then abandoned me!! Luckily I have you guys here that can help me out so thank you all xxx
