    Hiya crafters everywhere.

    I'm all excited today as I managed to pay another £200 into my business start up fund (a combination of scratch card winnings £10, Christmas money £30, money owed from toddler group £100 and other money I'd added as the weeks passed).
    Plus wait for it - a further £3.19 was added in interest - I really must look to find a higher paying account whilst I'm saving!!!

    Add to this that we also bought the new laminate floor for my craft room today (from B&Q so as my card is registered with Quidco I shall also get some more cashback soon) I'm a very happy bunny.

    I'm on the way - I think xxxxx
