Ooh stitchy which sewing school did you go to?? i made myself a lovely pick and white corset with a fab Swarovski zip for DD's christening. i still love it and wear it now.
I now have ten finished corsets which I wear, five waiting to be finished and a few in different sizes as samples for other people to try onMaking magic with fabricLight travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.0 -

Afternoon everyone.
Its been a busy day. So far I have:
Not gotten dressed as I am dying for a fancy costa coffee and dont want to spend £3 on a hot drink!
Bought my car insurance for the year through quidco for £28 cb that takes it to £230 less than my previous insurance company were trying to get me to pay!
Tonight I'll be watching the rugby round friends so we can have a cheaper time then down the pub.
Occupied myself by packing up stuff as I'm moving in a months time and distracting myself from the thought of a lovely costa coffee

- washing on airer - some outside maybe?
- finish assignment - just the reference list to do:j
