hi Pap
When you get around to making yor monkeys a tip is - instead of buying the stuffing buy a cheap double duvet from asda etc for £7 - £8 and use the filling. My mum made 32 large cuddly snowmen this xmas for our xmas fayre using two double quilts so works out quite cheap.

well i brought it ~ free delivery so only £14.99. i forgot if you quote the recent cat number you get free delivery i also got 8% cashback through quidco :j best confess on my weekly spends thread

sm ~ thansk for that, thats ideal i shall be doing that

beanie ~ in all fairness i have been buying all year so its not been much but also i feel obliged to do it iyswim. On her birthday i spent £40 :eek:. However next year i am only making these monkeys and attaching money... Anything in my birthday/xmas box will be ebayed and then charity shoped if not sold in the new year... i want to be as frugal as possible next year.

The monkeys are here http://www.hawkin.com/rkmain.asp?PAGEID=20670&STK_PROD_CODE=09923 i love hawkins bazaar, only the nearest shop is in town... that was going to be one of my birthday treats... going shopping in hawkins and getting my find it (£15) with my mums oh's cash (he always gives me cash). No such luck now... ah well maybe in febuary i will go for a trip down there?

Pap, I'm ever so sorry, I forgot to tell you that I went to Home Bargains on Sunday and they had sold out of the yes/no dolls. I've checked in the other cheapy shops near me (there are LOADS of cheap shops - must be a town full of DFWs!) and couldn't find any.

Really sorry hun. xxx

gem ~ they arnt, i knew around now they would stop selling but hey ho. I am going to start on easter cards (dont know if they will sell mind) in the new year as well as making other 'bits'. I want to get the diy kits up and running as well as gift boxes/bags made then i have bookmarks etc to do.

sarah ~ they state 4~5 working days, hopefully it will be here before next weekend for me to have a play :j the terr i got on ebay linky its just a tad cheaper than the original site (when you take postage into account and they are the orginals. i think either firebox or i want one of those do them too but they are £21+ postage however you get 5% cashback :rolleyes: everythings fine with me really, still cheesed off with my soa but i guess i cant change that now... just need to make it past my birthday... no camera for me though

SarahNeedle1872

Ur not the only one that's cheesed off hun, so don't worry too much.....
Are u still going to the meet? I need to book my train ticket, then we can look at where we're gonna stay..... I know I keep saying it but this time I really need to get my butt in gear!

Perhaps u could make ur camera ur first challnge of the new year? My first challenge of the new year is gonna be to learn to type!
