    The current plan is to use the spare room to store some of the excess stuff from the rest of the house while we declutter with a vengeance! I'm going to move the crafting stuff out of Crafty Corner (my living room) and into the spare room, possibly buying some more storage boxes etc once I see how much space I'm going to have. Having a spare bedroom will be very handy if friends visit, so I'm going to leave the bed in there, but will probably get rid of the rickety old wardrobe :)

    I would love to make some more money selling cards but don't really know how to go about it. At the moment I only really make cards for people who ask me to. I'm getting to the stage now where I have more cards sitting waiting for a birthday than I do people to give them to :rotfl:

    So glad you and Fred had a successful solo trip.

    Ouch to the foot & arm. Always seems mean when the treatment starts hurting more than the injury but you wouldn't want lockjaw affecting your ability to scream WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

    Might be joining your car buying excitement - mine has broken electric window motor and MOT coming up. Decided if its bad news might be better to quit whilst I'm behind :(

  • Fred sounds fun! Next time I'm in Edinbugh I'll pick you and Fred up, I'm pretty sure he'll fit on the back of my truck :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    Well done on the drive hun, I am trying out different routes to my current work place as driving on the motorway is not overly pleasant due to all the roadworks, sometimes it doesn't move either!

    I am going to be doing it alone Tuesday when OH has his kids for a few days :eek::eek::eek:, luckily he works near where I am right now so silly to take two cars in same direction if we dont need too.

    Had driving licence one month tomorrow! :eek:

    Hi all,

    Arrived safely at work and Fred only stalled once :D

    Yay :j that's good going!

    I can't believe your SIL is suddenly in a rush to leave after being with you so long! :p Well you always respond well to a challenge. Plans for spare room sound good and so do ideas to develop crafting. I had a look at your card pics before and they really are fab. Seems a shame not to earn some money from them ;)
    One step at a time ;)

    Glad you and Fred had a successful outing :D How is the arm and foot doing?

    Do you have a Craft Shop locally that would do a sale or return on your cards? My Osteopath has a box of cards in his waiting room made by a local lady and I always buy a couple when I am in there, it is nice to find something different. Or do you have enough to take a stall at a Craft Fair? I buy quite a few cards at those.

    Hi F_F

    Glad the foot is doing ok. Poor you, one thing eases and then something else..bah to the right arm but the tetanus was all for the good, so hope it eases tomorrow chick.

    So glad your both arrived safely. Its a little late to be giving you the PP's for you meal, hope you enjoyed it though and good luck with WI tomorrow.

    Well there will be a positive outcome when she moves out, I am sure you will make the most of your room and get crafting :D Your focus is great so I am sure you will manage. Well done on the OP too and getting your Amazon voucher.

    Have a good day tomorrow. ;)
