I really fancy going make up shopping but there really is no need and I am (non-proactively) trying to use up loads of things in my bathroom! (always point out the (shh) horrible wierd non matching stuff for the boy to use when he showers at mine :P) did you include everything? Like shampoos and make up brrushes and stuff?

    (can you tell I'm a bit inspired by the way!?!)

    I only do the scratch cards when I remeber but then I tend to get quite into it for a week or so but I've won £5 quite a few times so i think its still worth a minute of my time :)
    I've started a new spending diary since my trip - need to go update it I've been a bit bad recently!

    Dinah I second the ask for the veil pictures! I really can't picture it!

    Okay. 8 hours of sewing later, the outer edge of the veil is finished. The inner decoration is pinned. With a bit of luck the preview photo will be available tomorrow, see, knowing I need to post them spurs me on!

    Everything bar makeup brushes! Every lipstick, eyeshadow and body spray is on that list. I feel so sad! But I mainly did the RRP prices, as most were gifts but on the stuff I got myself I did what I paid for it (I don't know how I remembered, but I did!) It's just good to have a figure, hoping I can work it down to about half before Christmas. That's my little challenge :D

    Well done with the veil Dinah, looking forward to having a peak! :D

    Well done on the veil Dinah! Looking forward to seeing what's been taking up so much time!

    I'm just watching Create and Craft TV at the minute and the world's greatest craft toy is on there! I *need* £450 so I can buy one! Check it out! It's a craft cutter for icing! Total genius! What will they think of next?!

    I don't even use icing like that and I kind of want one! I'm terrible with shopping channels, I want whatever they're selling after 10 seconds. OH has to keep me off them :o
