The jubilant July NSD challenge

Keiss_21

Sorry folks, not been around for a bit, busy getting lots of things done.

Still to catch up, so may not now as we are off on holiday tomorrow and won't have nternet access for nearly three weeks!! :eek: I am actually looking forward to it, though I will miss all my friends on MSE .

Picked up an NSD on Saturday, making 9 in total so far, only 6 left to collect for the rest of the month. I wil report how I did when I return in August!

I didn't get the shop job...a shame, but never mind. Anyhoo, I have managed to acquire a job on Sunday...at least I think I have! I went to a quilt exhibition yesterday (held by the quilting club I've recently joined). The lady who was selling material and other stuff has a shop/workshop/exhibition centre, and has asked me to help get her business sorted on the computer!!

She has someone creating a new websitre for her, but she needs all her contacts to be put into a database, as well as other IT stuff. IT for crafting...what could be better!! It's only one day a week, and the business is 25 miles away :eek:, but after the first few sessions, I'll be able to work mainly form home...so just as well I didn't get the other job! Also, her business may well be an outlet for things that I create, and possible teaching classes in the future...it just gets better! :j:j So excited...can you tell !!

Right off to give DS1 plant-watering instructions, he just got back today, anbd we have moved things about a bit while he was away.

All this, and I made my first "proper bag" over the weekend too!! May have time to post piccie linky later.

Must get off and do more stuff..still loads left!

Have a great July, and see you in August! :beer:

cw18 - I have those bedcovers in cream! I really like them, the fabric is better quality than the cheap ones, and they look nice and simple on the bed.
I'm on NSD 6 hurrah!
Hopefully tomorrow can be another one...getting low on petrol so hoping I can last a few more days.

Evening all! Well despite the many temptations in Mr S at lunchtime, I clocked up NSD #9 today :j(well it might actually be #10 if i take the washers back that I bought on Fri, but I'm not counting my NSD before they hatch )

New taps arrived today - they are really really nice, even better given the price. I'm a little cranky today so thought that trying to remove old bath taps and fit new ones might not be the best idea - so waiting prob until I finish on Fri to see what lies under the old bath taps. I must admit, if the bath under there is kaput and I can't fit these news ones I'll be pretty disappointed so keep those fingers crossed (and legs Hubert..well you prob should just keep your legs crossed anyway, best all round :rotfl:)

Cheryl, the bedroom colour scheme is lovely, personally I prefer the first wallpaper - but of course I won't be living there

Sorry to hear about the job Keiss but as you say, sounds like it may well have all worked out for the best - have a lovely holiday too :beer:

Love the pic IF, sums the weather up today.

Well tomorrow prob won't be a NSD, I have a list of a few things that are required such a bread for OH sarnies, a few leads from the Grabbit board (not that i haven't got a fair stash of toothpaste and toilet roll already ) ...will keep you posted on that though.

So do I. Firstly I'm not sure I want all my walls plain Duck Egg, and secondly by introducing the cream into the room through that it means my current carpet and headboard won't need replacing - so saving some fairly serious money!

The Arg0s order is coming in at just under £103, but as that's for 2 quilt covers (each with two pillow cases), 2 fitted sheets, 2 additional packs of pillowcases (4 in total), 2 lamps, a light fitting and a pair of curtains I don't think it's at all unreasonable

Just need to work out how many rolls of paper/tubs of paint I need now.....

Ohh...in my excitement of a NSD, forgot to mention one of the wombled Mr A receipts came back with £6-odd from the PG - it was the last one I tried so was well chuffed

ps I also love seeing what people buy in their shop ...is that terribly nosey?

:j:j:jBDINI - how can you “accidentally” go into the blue and yellow shop.. I’m intrigued!!! Good news re the shoe storage, I’m with you on the organising it’s very therapeutic!
Hope you’re feeling better?
And no 3 in the bag for you now, that’s brilliant, keep going!
Well done for doing all the cleaning, I’m impressed, and yes I had a lovely evening off, thanks xx

Just to clarify, it wasn't really an accident, i went to the chemist on the same retail park as the blue & yellow shop, so couldn't resist going in... i did get the cough syrup first though!!

Cheryl- Love the bedding & the colour scheme, it's going to be a fab room when it's finished!

Keiss - Fantastic news about the job, i can see why you are excited, well done!!

Number 4 for today, am so busy coughing & blowing my nose i even gave up on my Monday evening drinks to stay in with a lemsip!! (Thats not a bad thing though, all the extra trips home have totally emptied my overpaments account, so every saving counts!!)

Hello to:

LittleMissHappy - well done for avoiding a big food shop for 3 weeks, that’s pretty impressive.:T
Thanks for the offer of help, I may well take you up on that next month if you don’t mind?:A

marmiterulesok - hope today’s spendy day wasn’t too serious:)


No 16 today for me, far too busy working to even think about spending, there have to be some advantages.....


Off to update the front page now, so see you all tomorrow.
