Thought I'd share my latest project with you! I've made myself a jewellery storage board with cup hooks. There was a discussion on here months ago about making them so I finally got round to it. Had to really as my collection had grown too large to be stashed in a drawer.
Here it is...

Hopefully I can keep it tidy now!

Wow you lot have been busy all day! I love everything you have all linked too. Got the spends now!

Good news for me - I got the job. Just waiting for all the info in the post now.

I had a training session at my other job today (I've got 3 now!) where I was required to dress in business fashion (?)

So I wore a black denim skirt (99p from ebay) with opaque tights and my biker boots, a black vest (new Look £3) and a royal blue wraparound jumper from Joe Browns.

Jewellery was fab beaded bracelet from my husband with matching silver necklace.

Its so neat! Very impressive! Mines nothing like as neat, I'm a wee bit envious, you obviously have an organised mind!

I'm so proud of mine though, I was when I first mentioned it, but after its post Avatar rework I just love it. I wish I could share a photo but my computer is playing up so badly I can't import from my camara let alone do anything with photos I already have (on monday sony are doing something gruesome to my hard disk so I'm desperately trying to save my pictures some other way and the disk drive has died...drama here). I'm done to an ancient camera phone for my own use, and know Idea how to upload anything from there, even if I had the cables/whatever.

I do envy you all your blogs. I think one day in the future I might like a blog. But not sure it would be very focused, ...somewhat like posts here!

That looks fab - I have put hooks on the inside of my wardrobe door for my necklaces.

I need it to fund my [STRIKE]shoe/make-up/jewellery/clothes collection[/STRIKE] mortgage. One is my own book selling business and the other two are nursing contracts but I'm not guaranteed any work. I just fit all three around being a housewife. Although I am, honestly, the worlds worst housewife. I am so lazy.

LOL, it would take me a lot longer than a week.;):D For [STRIKE]professional[/STRIKE] vanity reasons I'd not be posting a photo at all till I'm a couple of sizes smaller than I am now. .

Hey folks,

How's everyone today - welcome back Goanmad, you definately missed the worst of the weather!

Vicki - love the storage board, it looks great.

I haven't been on this thread for a few days, except for popping in for a read, partly because I've been pretty busy of late, but mainly because I've felt like a bag lady, thanks to this cold weather! For example, today, here I am:
grey jeggings
dark grey boyfriend jumper
thermal black camisole
pink and orange glove socks
and I was wearing black boots earlier.

It's not inspiring me quite frankly, but I'm on earlies atm, so it has to be no-think clothing at 6am! Must make and effort. Think I might dig out a skirt for tomorrow.

Anyway, I've been a little naughty and treated myself to some new shoes for when the weather's better.

Oh lucky you! One of the things I didn't buy in life when I had the option was a pair of VW shoes, and have regreted it for yers, like decade, now. Silly me! I hope you enjoy them lots and lots!:j

You lot are a bad influence! Loving that budgie dress. I'm not really one for prints, though I must admit I am coming round to them gradually. I wasn't into wearing dresses until summer though, so who knows
