    Kids eh!!!..glad he has no lasting damage.
    Hope you've had a good day.
  • Wooo hooo! I get my sanity back today as both kids are out of the house today; albeit DD is only out for a few hours but it all counts lol, I need to do DS a note to hand to him teacher.

    Managed to get a load of cushion covers sewn up yesterday, I just need to put zips in them and then on to e-bay/facebook page. A friend of mine has expressed an interest in one of the fabrics that she is thinking of possibly having huge scatter cushions covered in it. I also have some other lovely fabric that I am going to make napkins out of and sell too.

    Yesterday was a NSD and today will be one too. Wednesday I am going on a charity shop bargain hunt with my friend again so we’ll see I may end up having a NSD then too.

    On to today, I need to get a start on the Flylady list and I need to get the cushion covers done & I need to nip to the shop to buy DH some more NicAssist (included in budget)

    Off to get the kids motivated…have a good day everyone.

    GREAT THAT YOU HAVE SOME PEACE TODAY.
    Well done on making the cushion covers etc.
    Have a good day
  • Okay I have finally bitten the bullet and my Facebook page is now live :eek: I have only put a few on there to begin with with the hope that it will generate some interest.

    If you do want a look type in 'Caterham Cushions' (don't know if I'm allowed to do that so please let me know if I'm in the wrong)

    Fingers crossed it will generate some money :money:
  • Bleugh! Feel like someone’s hit me on the head overnight, I’ve woken up with a big headache…Pah! Have taken some tablets and made sure I’ve had some breakfast so I’m hoping it will go.

    Have been thinking about my ‘project’ I won’t call it a business just yet as I doubt it will generate any money…any how, I need to put them on to e-bay but can’t decide whether to put them under my username on there or to set up a new account just to sell them. More investigation is needed I think.

    Yesterday was a NSD :D today won’t be as I am going charity shop bargain hunting with a friend and then we are going for lunch once we have picked up DD from pre-school. DS is going to a party on Sunday and I managed to get two perfect presents for the twins this way and he’s got another birthday party the week after.

    Morning Tea..hope the headache clears soon xxx

    Hope you manage to find some bargains in the charity shops as well and enjoy your lunch.
  • Morning peeps, was in bed at 6.30 last night due to my headache. It’s still there but controllable this morning and some caffeine will get rid of it.

    Yesterday was definitely not a NSD, managed to get a present for DS’s friends birthday, two presents for the kids, a Pilates book in a bid to help my back and 12 metres of material which looking on e-bay will definitely generate some money if I sell it.

    Today I need to nip to the market and get some veg and fruit and also nip in and see my friend at work.

    I have decided that initially I am going to sell the first lot of cushion covers under my e-bay account and ‘if’ they sell I will then look at opening a separate account.

    Had a look on the FB page this morning and there has been some interest in the ones I have made so that’s a start.

    I need to try and get some more of the Flylady done between today and tomorrow and I also need to get dinner sorted, cottage pie for dinner tonight.

    Have a good day everyone.
