I've surfaced from the sewing room to post today. Need to finish a corset, detachable train and matching micro-skirt for Thursday so need to crack on.

So far:- checked banking - still too far from payday for my liking :eek:
- checked for surveys
- fed and watered the chickens
- dived into town for materials whilst DH drove to another shop - no parking charges required!
- had lunch from stores - mostly allotment salad stuff
- got dinner out of freezer
- finish above mentioned corset and train and the skirt too if I really set my mind to it
- email customer with balance to pay - hopefully she'll do it straight away
- email another customer with a quote
- phone BT regarding our hub not working (luckily DS2 had a spare)
- upload electricity readings to get an accurate bill
- smile a lot as it freaks people out

Sewing room is calling me back now,

SW- good luck with finishing the corset wish I could make things I can hardly sew on a button :rotfl:
I'm very happy- phoned RBS after seeing a leaflet about them beating your home insurance renewal quote by at least £25. I've checked everywhere and my existing provider was still cheapest.
So I phoned RBS and asked them about it, they have beaten the price by £26 because I bank with them I'm delighted :T0 -

Hi all
Hope you've had a good day! Well - I'm now trying to teach myself to knit, I didn't realise it was so complicated! That's the night ruined now - will spend the whole time learning how to cast on I think! At least itmeans I can't spend...!
Have a great evening everyone!
