It's 640 on Sky as guess what I'm doing???

Well I nonly have the whole house to tidy n clean, washing to put on and hang out and dinner to prepare but why do that when I can surf the net at MSE whilst watching QVC!! I actually taped the craft bit from earlier and watched it and was very tempted to buy this fab boxed set it was lovely!! Let me know the items you recommend Mel!;)

Dont you try and get me to make you buy things so that you can blame me! I dont recommend anything yet I think it all looks rubbish on this clearance but I like to look and see if there are any ideas haha.

The other day when it was the creativity hour they had my work on there :eek: They have a TSV on the 25th so I think more of my work might be shown then which means you can see it properly!

ooh nice shiney new thread

Sign me up for it all im game for a money saving giggle ...or three

I really have to catch up with this thread ( and the old one)

But pleased to report that i have just cashed up my December 20ps' i have another £20 to go in the bank.(£7.40 still in tin).Plus £20 in £2 and so i am putting it into my internet saver.
I am continuing to save £2, 20ps, 10p,5p, 2p and 1p go into a change pot that when its full i will put it into the internet saver,
Since i do most of my shopping online,it works best for me.

I have my gift book. With lots of people already allocated gifts for birthdays. I also have 7 gifts for next christmas They are squirreled away in a numbered box up the loft and contents of said numbered box is wrote in my gift book So hopefully i can send H up the loft to get a numbered box and i wont have to dig through numerous boxes.

Mel you have inspired me to start a new hobby ....Not only did i buy craft stuff pre christmas..But ive just bought lots in the artymiss sale Not sure what i will make with it all but the thoughts there lol

Well thats it from me for now

Well I've ordered 300 of all the kits so far as they are such good bargains plus I went through quidco!! OOh I like those wooden alphabets too!!

Will you remind me about the 25th as I will record it just to see your lovely work (wot a creep huh!!??) What is a TSV??

pinkladymel

I love those wooden letters but you only get 26 letters in the big pack and 40 in the little ones.

I think these stamps are a bargain for cardmaking:

They would be pretty with glitter all over the roses and watercoloured.


HAHAh did you just see that... her mini book said 'F U' OOPS!!

ah, how's your dog doing goochie, had to take my 10month old beagle to the vets on new years eve and it cost about £50 to get her checked and get some medicine so I think I got off lightly when I listen to everyone elses stories. She is on the mend though now.

Mel, your little one looks raring to go - my dd started back today - so I have my afternoons back - It's amazing how much you can squeeze in to two and a half hours!!!

Jammy - I've started my notebook (red) - working on my budget and how much I need to be money neutral. Hubbie wants £350 to get an iphone for his birthday - I have about half that so I said if he finds a load of stuff to sell on ebay I'll ebay it for him and the money can go towards the other half of the phone. A tall order but I think it's reachable. Choosing an iphone isn't excatly money saving but it's all he wants and he used his christmas money off my dad to buy a camcorder which is a whole family present really.

pinkladymel

300 of the kits?? WHAA!! What have you ordered furrypig!! I have got to check the timetable and see what is on when and then I shall let you know I'll ask the boss if she can give me a hint on the QVC TSV.

jordanshannon be strong!! You can resist the pot Ohh actually that makes you sound like a drug addict oops. I am opening mine october so I can buy everything quick from Boots.com before it sells out. I am talking popular toys and things though so no rush for you lol

choccy orange I was just going to ask where you are!! I am so glad to see you back YAYYY !! xx Dont you blame me for your craft weaknesses

furrypig

Oh no I've lost my notebook!!

I was so organised pre Christmas starting it off and writing in all the names oh no!! I bet it's buried in the spare room under the part used wrapping paper and empty boxes!!

PS Mel I haven't ordered anything really!!

pinkladymel

do what I do.. start a new one.. and then you end up with 30 notebooks
