That post it note holder looks excellent, I'm definitely going to make one for my colleague who is crazy about post it notes! Thanks for the link

I had been wondering what a teabag holder was but felt silly asking Lol!! Obviously it is a teabag holder but I hadn't any idea how lovely an idea and thoughtful gift it is.
I will now be making them for colleagues at work and friends.
Many Thanks Money savers :beer:

I was wondering too but wasn't brave enough to ask in case I was scorned at and told to leave the thread immediately as my craft knowledge wasn't up to par :rotfl::rotfl:
I love the idea of these but... (Now this is embarassing!!).... I have a phobia of tea bags

Oh its 7.07am and what a bloody day already! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:


boyfriend found out yesterday his overdraft has gone to £300 because we were struggling with lack of wages last month and found out today that his sick pay is only £470 - so we haven't even got enough to cover the rent! So have been reshuffling my money about and think I'll be able to cover about 3 weeks of it with some very careful money spending and just pray no other bills or unnecessary spends pop up although I have 3 birthdays this month that I have no gift for yet! so may need to only pay 2 weeks rent but at least Im paying something right !!!!

Then went in kitchen moved a tea towel not realising there was a mirror underneath and the bloody thing smashed at my feet :eek:. Most unamused today :mad:not a good month!

Well my cross stitch has been going along nicely, haven't started card making yet will do that when Ben is back in school so he's not trying to help out too much. Although do have a nice snowflake stamp now so might get him to sit and punch out some of those to use on cards later.

Have hospital today though too so that should be fun with him.

Thinking today I might just clean, wash clothes and get on with my cross stitching.

I've started making my lists.

I bought loads of general Christmas stuff in the woolworths closing down sale so Xmas cards for kids in DD's class & Brownies are covered, wrapping paper is still covered by stuff I bought about 4 years back in bulk in the summer sales (10 rolls of 10m wrapping paper including Disney ones at 50p each...couldn't resist :rotfl: ), I have the craft stuff in to make the personalised cards (mum, dad, sister etc) instead of paying out

Yesterday I bought DD her Xmas eve PJs from Primani and she loves them

Will get a move on with my card making today hopefully

Theres loads of ideas over on the handmade christmas list.

I'm wanting to make a few more bits whilst i have the chance / time but my printer died on me last night - over used the last few days so i have to be patient and await the delivery of the new ink.

Which is dangerous as i tend to go shopping online when im not occupied.

I'm looking for stuff for an in the night garden hamper for my DD 2nd birthday in october.

I saw some in the night garden pencil cases and pencil sets for 69p each in the "home bargains" store near me recently.

I have been reading this thread and hope you don't all mind me joining. There are so many fantastic ideas and i have only read half of the thread so far:D

I am going to make a chefs hamper for my brother and i have started getting items for that. I love the xmas eve hampers aswell and i am going to do one for my DD who will be 4 by then.

I will try and put some photo's on when i have done them.
