I have been fiddling with the weekly spends and decided I need to up it a bit each week to cover petrol for travelling to and from my new job. Obviously this will be outweighed by the wages
I've had notification that my gas and dental bills will be going each month too.
I spent more than I anticipated this weekend at the craft show. I bought a bag to store my knitting project and a cushion knitting set with giant needles (28mm for those knitters amongst us!) Although I spent £70 I have made a lovely cushion for DS1 bedroom and I have the needles to make more projects which I can sell later on so make more money.
Craft fair yesterday was disastrous and badly organised with very few customers so I haven't been able to save anything this weekend. I did have a great time on Saturday and was happy with my purchases so I cannot complain!
Today is a new day and will be listing lots of things on my website so hopefully I can do ok!0 -
Sounds like all is coming together for you and keeping you busy Caroline. Congrats on the job
