    yep. slow improvements but consistent.
    really pleased about your carboot. the spare space must be worth more than the £27 too. and now you have both. along with the knowledge that you can do it. yay for your word helping you out and you actually using it.

    is it going to be an online only shop or are you setting up a real life shop too.
    did you watch mary queen of shops last week it was a kind of retro homewares shop. might have a few bits of inspiration for you. it will be on iplayer I think.
    will have a think about names.
    will you have stuff like the styles you love in your blog that you showed me?

    Dilli,
    I have read loads of that blog lately and am even going to print some off for a folder to have them more easily on tap. I often forget where I have read things so going to print the ones that seem useful as I go along.
    Really excited that your blog will be up and running again. yay. and hope the giveaways go well.

    Hello everyone,
    happy monday. got to get at least 1 new tyre today, probably 2, so thats a big chunk of carboot money gone. but hurray for not having to dip into our normal money.
    Tonight going to see a duck breeder probably. feel a little bit nervous as don't know what to ask - but excited too.
    haven't heard from Elly for a bit but hope you are ok without the kids and making headway with your dream of how your house will look.
    haven't got a menu plan yet for this week or month so need to work on that today and probably one more box from the hallway.
    Both kids still asleep so enjoying a cup of tea and a catch up on here. would be a good time to declutter but don't want to wake them up as its so peaceful.lol
