We had out dogs paws cut a little while ago and I had to come downstairs as she refused to sit for Picklemum and the dog pedicurist after three and a half paws. Naturally, I won her round with some chocolate drops.Please call me 'Pickle'

Entertainment budget well and truly borked...planned to spend about £17 (I had a voucher for a meal to cost £12 per person including one drink) and spent £27 due to the volume of cocktails consumed.
I am now having an infusion of coffee before I evaluate if I'm hungover...

I think I was a little bit hongover yesterday, but didn't let it stop me from getting out and about
I went to Ikea with a friend yesterday morning and bought myself this nifty little thing. I like the idea of charging it during the day and being able to use it at night when I'm crafting. Hopefully it will work - it's charging at the moment. If not, I'll take it back
I also went and met a friend of a friend for coffee which was very nice. We know each other through FB but hadn't met up in real life and had a really nice time.
There isn't a huge amount to report apart from that to be honest. It's been a really nice quiet weekend and I'm feeling very relaxed. Hopefully everyone else has had a nice weekend too.

Morning FF
Been doing a catch up as I am way behind I blame a certain sheepy one for luring me back to FV (still need another half a million coins to expand so I can sort my trees out nicely) and a mad compulsive urge to declutter my house and garden:eek:
Just read your comment about 3rd party car insurance have you checked the price for fully comp as when I do insurance for my kids bizarrely fully comp was cheaper than 3rd party
Looking forward to seeing your buys from the craft fair

Happy craft fair! I just daren't go to any as I know I already have far too much stuff. I need to sort out my craft space too. So good luck getting your space back.
DT - noticed you back on FV, fortunately I can't play anymore as I don't have the latest version of Flash, and it won't load properly.Debts at LBM - Mortgages £128497 - non mortgage £27497 Debt now £[STRIKE]114150[/STRIKE][STRIKE]109032[/STRIKE] 64300 (mortgage) Credit cards left 0

I got quite a lot of things done today - and still had plenty of time for a drive down the coast with Mr Fresian. We went to North Berwick and had chips for lunch
from the excellent chip shop then took a walk along the seafront. The weather was lovely, but it was freezing so I was glad to get back in the car and come home to our nice warm house!
I've done yet another load of washing and managed to line-dry some of it, although I have another load in the machine which will have to hang indoors for now. It was an essential load though - we're running very short of teatowels :rotfl:
I've listed 17 items on Ebay today...all craft-related so far. I'm about to have a quick root through the bedroom to see if there's anything else I can try and be rid of. I already have one bid and seven watchers on my items, so I'm really pleased with that. Every little bit of income will be useful this month, so I'm crossing my fingers that people will bid.
My next adventure will be to try and find a user manual for the breadmaker I've borrowed and then write a list for the supermarket tomorrow so I can source all the ingredients. Mr Fresian likes plain white bread, which is fine as I can get loaves cheaply for him, but I prefer wholemeal and seeded loaves which are that bit more expensive. If it's cheaper to make my own I'm going to give it a go.
Better get back to the housework....!
