Oh now I see! Lots of lovely colours. I'm planning to teach myself to crochet this year. Looks like I've got something to aspire to now. Thanks :j

I bought a t shirt from a CS for 75p and turned it into a Rag Doll.
Have a pic, but don't know how to put it on here.

I have always knitted and taught myself crochet last year. A bit like learning to drive- all seems like swahili and then suddenly comes together!
All the best with it!

Not sure if this really counts but it is really good for me. Am moving soon and will have to buy new F/freezer & w/machine (mine are built in at present) so will have lots of expense. In MSE weekly mail - credit card with 0% balance transfers/buys for 12months. This will give me a bit of breathing space in the next few months.
Donated small set of drawers to DD for her bathroom, and large mirror which won't fit in my new place. In return she has brought round loads of cardboard boxes from her last move.

5 paving slabs from next doors skip (yes i did ask!) I can't believe someone paid for a small skip when all they put in it was stuff I woudl have put on freecycle or taken to the tip:eek: Some people have more money than sense!

Bought strawberries at the market just before closing and got 3 lots for £2 so one was free.
Was also given last lone plant on the stall.

Having just checked my emails I found that I have just been offered 3 school t-shirts and 3 shcool zip up jackets for the school my daughter now attends in a size bigger than she is so she'll have use from them when she goes into next size they would have cost £8.50 per t shirt and 13.50 per jacket if I'd ordered them from school lady has also offered me the next size up full pe kit consisting of tshirt shorts rugby /hockey shirt and pe socks (socks still in sealed packaging) this would've cost £27 if bought as set via the school very very happy and she only lives 2 streets away and is going to drop it off on her way to work this afternoon:jR
