Yup - I didn't get all those debts spending on air!!!!!:rotfl: Also at work I've told a few people that I'm trying to a) save money and pay off debts and b) do hampers/baskets for Christmas and people have given me stuff. So I was given the red glass container that I put the candles in, I've been given a gold pot for another hamper and other things that people didn't necessarily want for selves but would look good or be good in a hamper!:jAchieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Tin of hand made / finished cards as a thank you for MIL. Cards range from Get Well, to Happy Birthday, to Baby Boy, Baby Girl, Wedding cards, Thinking of you Cards, Sympathy Cards, Blank cards.... As you can see I enjoy making cards and just have a few items in stock to make them with! In case you were wondering the tin is started life as a Christmas present with biscuits in - I liked it so I kept it!:rotfl:Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
