Wow thanks for that Jamtart, it doesnt look too complicated. I have some handmade mulberry papers in 12x 12, wondering whether these would be too thick? Think I will have a go tomorrow and see if it works with it.

anything you can score will be fine. wonder if mulberry will be too fragile? even the thick stuff?? if you can score it and bend it, then yuo can use it! honestly the instructions are simple! she is great. i did in 2-3 hours all included (i.e printing and resizing pics)

Hmm I'm wondering if the mulberry paper will score too. I'm tempted to go and get it now but must get on with this knitting. Playing bingo on bingoports while I knit lol, just won the one line and full house so got a few extra points towards my next Amazon voucher.

i may investigate bingoport!

Its worth it if you like bingo lol, I like playing but cant afford to deposit money so was glad to find this site. I have 2 £5 Amazon vouchers now and have only been on he site about 3 weeks and play bingo for a couple of hours every morning, only on tonight as I'm on my own. You can gain 1000 points every day by posting on their forum 10 times. Have a look lol xx

Not on this site you only play for points then if you get enough points you can redeem them for Amazon vouchers or for money to play at the bigger cash bingo sites. You need 8000 for a £5 voucher

Here comes another money neutral task from me for the month of March!....

It is quite a good time now to get eBaying and what better time then combining this with a good old spring clean. It is unbelievable what sells on eBay. I have sold everything from an old broken camera (£25), broken ipod (£30) to a half used bottle of Johnsons tanning lotion (about £3! they are £3 new?)

Anyway I challenge you all to:


Clear out your cupboards by 8th March and have a pile for eBay

Photograph your items by 12th March

List your items by 15th March

This is by far (and always has been) the biggest source of money for my money neutral fund. It might even start to build your Christmas fun.d

Who is with me??:A I will be checking progress!! :rotfl:

(Combining the weekly 15minute tidy with this might kill 2 birds with one stone!!)

I have been thinking about doing this for a while, have sold lots on Ebay before but not recently, need to borrow a camera and get some photos done. I also have a left handed electric guitar to sell which is still as new, my brother bought it on a whim a few years back and never got round to using it, gave it to me to sell but I dont know how to pack it up to post if I sold it. I have tried advertising it locally in the papers but didnt get any calls at all. Any ideas of what to do with it? (Nothing rude pleae lol)

Hiya everyone,

I'm not in a very good mood, so sorry if i upset everyone and anyone, but i am going to rant about my day.
Well i went into town this morning to get info on a childcare apprenticeship in a baby unit :j am now doing CV and cover letter for it tomorrow.

Thank you furrypig for your support, went in the doc's today(about 1pm), and he told me that the dieticians have been research more on eating disorders as mine came up as a mixture of bulimia and anorexia, he said it is a rare form of the disorder and is wanting to investigate it more:eek:, even though i am healthier and it has been years since i was first diagnosed with the disorder.:mad: :mad: So i went into town and brought some clothes to cheer me up, not exactly MSE:money: but i wanted to rebel I then had to go to work. And to cap it all off because we are so finacially tight my dad is moving back in, into the spare room (where might i add that i craft so that is all being stacked up in my piddly little room) He's said he will get councilling(sp) and all that crap but he doesn't feel the same about my mum (or us i don't doubt) until we can get the house onto the market and find somewhere me, my mum, my brother and my two dogs can rent along with all our stuff!!:mad: :mad: So now i have to relive the sheer hell of living with a manic depressive.
And as a result of all this i can't go to the NEC (to enjoy something that i want) this time around but i may be able to next time. :mad: :mad: :mad:
I am so angry and upset, i really don't know what to do with myself!!
So tomorrow i have to tidy up my bedroom (inc chucking stuff out to make way for the stuff in the spare room), drop my cv into the apprenticeship people, go to work and book another appointment to see the doctors and a councillor.

Sorry for the HUGE rant, i will be fine in a while..

Love and hugs to anyone and everyone :grouphug:
