Hi everyone, been MIA since Monday due to the lovely weather we've been having until this morning that is!
Managed to book a week away for myself and my niece for the end of July - will be good to get away from work and London in general for a week at least! So lots of moneysaving is the plan between now and then so we can do what we want to do without worrying about my euros running out! :rolleyes:
Hope everyone is well, thank you for the updates on Toots!
Massive hugs to Lady-L you really are an inspiration! Lots of positive vibes being sent your way from Norf London!
Off to see if i can manage a few more stars now whilst my niece is playing clubpenguin and the dog is sleeping!

Where in Suffolk are you? There is also a new patchwork and quilting shop opened in Walton [ which is between the Trimleys and Felixstowe]. I am hoping to pop into that as well
I'm in Stowmarket, so about half an hour from Felixstowe. Where abouts are you?
I also like the fabric shop in Bury St Edmunds, except it's a bit more expensive, and you can't get the scraps and bits & bobs that I like getting from Felixstowe.
I have to say, I was quite surprised to see Felixstowe mentioned on here, I don't really know why cos it's quite a large place! It's nice to think that some of you are quite close really!Make £2025 in 2025 #18 - £569.66/£2025
