I'm just trying to figure out if my computer at work has a memory card slot, then I could get them on tomorrow.. there's a bit that pops out but I'm not sure what's meant to go in there :rotfl:

Making sure that I put the money left before payday where it's meant to be.. just paid £109.91 to my overdraft, making it under £1000 at last - £920 to be exact! And *drum roll* my total paid off for the year is exactly £1500 :j

A blogs a great way of keeping a record of what you're upto....I ventured into it a few weeks back but spend far to much time looking at what everyone else is making to get on and make more of my own stuff

You should pop over to the special occasions boards, there's the "sewing room" thread on there that's a mine of information all things sewing related.

Squizz, how brilliant is that about your overpayment! Well done you, you're zooming along. Finding somewhere special for the sewing is a good'un too, you do so much, its a really good idea to have somewhere particular, especially since you seem to be making a lot of them as Christmas presents - if you photo everything, you'll still have them, so to speak.

The debt is getting there, slowly - well, faster than it was! Will be another chunk gone on Friday when I get paid.

I am definitely considering the blog - just for sewing though, or for gardening and other 'making' exploits.. .I have lots of photos of plants and pots of jam Good idea about the presents too - I made a bag for a friend's birthday which I took a photo of before I posted it to her. Got photos onto PC at home last night but not got round to putting any online yet - meant to bring my memory card to work but forgot Planning to finish the last dining room chair tonight so that should be another few photos

I had a look at your blog Pooky - it's brilliant! Will check out the Special Occasions board too - oh no another thing to keep track of and no doubt make me want to do all sort of other things :rotfl:

Work is a bit funny today - lots of things to do which seemed a bit daunting but have either turned out to be really quick or I'm having to wait for other people to get back to me on them.

Aaargh busy morning :eek: A few deadlines have coincided causing something approaching chaos! Calmed down a bit now although it's taken me about half an hour to actually write this post as things keep appearing...

Been asked to take on some extra work for a couple of weeks for job no2, covering for the people who run the scheme while they are on holiday - should make me an extra £75-ish if I've worked it out right, not bad for 4 hours work!

Finished the dining room chairs last night - they look really good now they're all done

Ooh payslip has arrived... £1236. I can do some sums now...

Also, my mobile contract is up in a couple of weeks - no idea what to do there!
