Have a great time at the craft fair!

I'm really looking forward to it!

I'm going to write a wish-list and take it with me so I only (in theory) buy stuff on that list. Some of my favourite craft providers are exhibiting, like Lili of the Valley, so I'm looking forward to seeing their stalls. I'll post pics next weekend when I return to show you all my stash

F_F, is that the same craft fayre we went to last year - where we didn't even once bump into each other! My sister did say they had another one but it seems to have came round really quick. I've got all my stuff for my invites (I think) so don't think will make this one. Have fun, I'm sure you'll come home loaded with stuff.

Yup it's the same one - they do it twice a year. It's been 5 months since the last one :eek: Time is flying!

Sadly not yet; Mr Fresian spoke to her about finding another flat, but I don't think any action has been taken. I want to speak to her this week to set a date of the end of March. I'm getting really cranky about it now, and just want her gone. I bear no malice to the girl but I need my [strike]massive craft room[/strike] space.

Yesterday was a pretty frugal day for me despite it being payday. I paid £6.50 for dinner with my friends (Woo for Carvery!) and 65p for a cup of tea during work.

Today I have spent £6 to get a £30 voucher for the Body Shop. I had £6 credit in my Groupon account which is why I got it for half price. I'm going to treat myself to some new makeup brushes and also see what I can squirrel away for Christmas/birthdays.

Nothing else to report really. Today is my Friday as I've been really tired so have taken tomorrow off. I might be going to the movies tonight but that will depend how sleepy I am!!

Have a good day all

Morning all,

Additional spends yesterday were £3.50 on ice-cream at the cinema (Really have to calm down on the Ben and Jerrys...) and £10.50 on new foundation. I'm replacing all the makeup I was using when I had that eye infection, so had to get new stuff. I was going to replace my existing foundation (£29 Christian Dior stuff I won in a competition) but the lady at the No7 counter persuaded me to try their new one and it's really good. It was meant to be £15.50 but the friend I was with had a £5 voucher for No7 which she gave me so I only paid £10.50 :money:

I went to see Never Let Me Go at the cinema last night. Wowza, that was depressing. There are loads of new films out from today though so I will probably go and see something else soon. I ended up watching Cool Runnings on iPlayer last night to cheer me up

Best dash - I need to have a quick shower then I'm off to the dentist (Bah...) and then into town to spend my £30 Body Shop voucher courtesy of Groupon

I also got an email this morning telling me that it's another free listing weekend on Ebay.

I'm going to sort out some of the crafting gubbins I have that I don't use/need and list some of that. The next few weeks are shaping up to be quite lean ones, and every little scrap of income helps.

I'm also going to be making a few cards this afternoon - it's a friend's birthday next week so I'm making a card for her. I also have an order from another friend for a cupcake card (like the ones I did for souk) and a Mother's Day card. That will be £5 income for me, every little helps!

bah to a lean month, but on the hand yeah if it keeps you from being complacent i guess....

good luck with the ebay listing

Spent £31 in the Body Shop, so only had to hand over £1 of cold hard cash on top of the £6 I spent for the voucher. I managed to get new mascara (needed some) and two new makeup brushes. I also got a free eyeliner thingie that you got if you bought any two makeup items, so I was pleased with that wee bonus.

So far this morning I've had a scale and polish at the dentists (URGH) and gone to town. I've come home, made breakfast for Mr F and done some washing. I've half-tidied the living room and am about to brush and mop the floor then hang up said washing. It almost looks nice enough to hang the clothes outside, but Scottish weather in February isn't the most settled, so I might leave it for a while

Living room now pretty much spotless. All my crafts are tidied away as well, just waiting to come out and play later on

Myself and Mr Fresian are traumatised, and in my case bleeding, from having had to cut the moggies claws today. My cat is fine, as long as you're nice to him he will give a paw to cut. Mr F's cat is skittish at the best of time and doesn't like being picked up. I have a couple of deep gouges in my leg from attempts 1-3. Attempt four was successful, but moggy is now refusing to talk to Mr Fresian as he was the one who held him while the claws were being done. I bribed him with cat treats afterwards so I'm still in the good books

Thoughts of cleaning the bathroom have left me as Mr F has suggested we go for a nice drive together this afternoon. Hurrah!
