    Hi FF :wave:

    I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures of your craft room - i know you've wanted this for ages so am very pleased for you! I also remember when you were last without a lodger and you posted about how much you enjoyed having the space just to you and Mr F :)

    I also managed to sell a few bits on e-bay - though i had a few things with a few watchers but with no bids - bank holidays are hard to judge on e-bay i think - due to people being away etc. but now i've listed things once i can just re-list them on the next free listing day ;)

    I've not been able to look into card making as yet - due to being both poorly and skint - but am looking forward to being able to start and to then showing my mum - if you've any craft stuff thats good for newbies to this that you are selling let me know and i'll take a look on e-bay :)

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend x

    If you want, I can put together a wee beginners parcel for you - no charge at all. Just PM me your address :D As I'm sorting out all my stuff just now to get the craft room how I want it, it's the perfect time.

    Spending diary

    Hmmm.....might have been a little spendy today :o

    Aldi - £17.78 which includes enough tomatoes for the month, two packs of chicken, a whole chicken, some catfood and some facial wipes along with a couple of other bits that we will definitely use. Honest.

    Tesco - £8.10 This was for two storage boxes and a box of Fab Lollies :D The boxes went through at £6.50 each but I went to Customer Services and he said that they had been on the wrong shelf but he would sell them to me at the price on the shelf. Woo!

    Asda - £2.42 for wraps and some reduced WW custard. Included 5% discount for using gift card.

    £3.55 on postage for crafty sales.

    Total = £31.85:o

    Oooo i want my own crafty room! Sadly, children and their toys take up any spare room in this house :D I bet you are absolutely LOVING rearranging that room and buying new bits for it ;)
    One step at a time ;)

    Possibly :D The pics are on my blog (linked if you click on my name on the side of any of my posts) if you want to have a wee look.

    Nowt to report here really as I've had a really chilled out day making cards, arranging supplies and watching Doctor Who :D I also found out that I came third in a cardmaking competition on FB which I'm really pleased about - I should receive some goodies for winning too :j

    Hi Everyone :D

    FF - your room looks fab - i think i am in awe of how organised everything is - i seem to have a neverending quest to get more organised! I love how you've popped your table in front of the window so you can look out onto the garden and take in the view whilst making lovely cards :)

    And as ever your cards are looking amazing! Well done on winning a comp too :T

    Your spends aren't bad at all - its crazy how much everything costs these days and everything you bought is essential / will be used - especially the Fab lollies - these are my all-time favourite ice lolly ;)

    Really hoping i feel well enough to get something done tomorrow - the fact that its a bank hols and everyones off has been completely wasted on me so far. Although OH made rumblings that he would help me declutter some of the things we jointly own tomorrow if i'm not up to going out (we never use these things so i've wanted to ebay / carboot them for ages) - exciting times ahead :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    What felt suspiciously like the sniffles last night is today a full-blown head cold. I feel rotten. Typical that I would feel like this on a bank holiday when I should be going out and about and having fun. Bah!

    Not sure if today will be a NSD - I need to buy lightbulbs and petrol at some point, although I'm sure that both can wait until tomorrow if necessary.
