    What do you think?

    I made it using glue and embossing powder and the back is sticky back plastic with pink glitter but it's silver glitter on the other side :D there's a little tag on it which says happy anniversary and I restrug it and sowed the bow on myself :D

    Just £1.99 in hobbycraft so not bad!

  • morning pixie & ixia! wow it is quiet! hope everyone is having a lovely time wherever they may be!

    soz haven't been around much but I haven't been doing much dfw stuff so felt like a bit of a fraud. I love all you guys & enjoy the comaraderie (SP) but now I no longer in debt I feel like my lists are becoming lamer & lamer... So I might have to become a weekender. we'll see...

    Anyway:
    • [STRIKE]all meals from stores[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]lamb out of freezer for tomorrow[/STRIKE] (whopsied ;)) in SC now ;)
    • [STRIKE]finish off my friend's birthday present from march [/STRIKE]:o:o:o (home made recipe book for families on a budget. going to a suana with her on Monday (£5 at a local gym) so hopefully the loveliness will make up for the lateness!) just need to print off some pictures
    • call ex-mil using free landline mins
    • make banana bread for the boys for the week when the oven is on making the lamb
    • go and get my tyre pressure sorted
    • gym in a bit - I jogged 5k continuously for the 1st time on Thurs :j CBA yesterday - spent the day sleeping & watching eastenders. Am going at 2
    • look at next months budget? maybe/maybe not
    • thrash out with oh which flat we are going to go for if any see below
    • make some bread
    [STRIKE]split & freeze the 3 large packs of mince I got on offer yesterday to make up 5 meals[/STRIKE] made it into 6 - think I'll get some soya mince to bulk it out ;)


    ok that'll do me, i'll also watch a film with oh & finish 1884 happy weekend to you all x

    ok I officially have the most fabulous oh! He has agreed to go with the flat I want - on the plus side is the location & I love it on the cons - its very very small, we would need to get diff furniture to fit & there's no parking, we will have to have on street parking which will be a walk! But he loves me :j

    Just a quickie - was looking for a Father's Day card and found this...

    Completely free from Funky Pigeon - I've been through the process and it works - got an email confirmation of the order straight away

    Get Free Fathers Day card worth £2.99 when you go
    to www.funkypigeon.com and choose your card
    then you need to use code FUNKYFREE when
    you go to checkout

    Hope it helps someone?

    Thank you thank you! Been looking all over for something like this :T
