    Lovely bag dispenser Kerri! We made one at school... Mine was terrible haha!

    Awww poor mr hippo and Miss Lily, I am glad she is feeling better though!

    This weekend has been a bit spendy, went to see The Woman In Black yesterday with my best friend, we spent most of our time quietly giggling as everyone jumped at the same time! It was ok but I was a bit disappointed, thought the story would be better than it was!

    Today I am off to best friends husbands birthday meal at lunchtime, BF doesn't want to go so he's not :( it's meant to be another sunny day here with highs of 15 woop woop!

    Have a lovely Sunday! Xxx
    Life is too short not to love what you do.

    I made a plastic bag dispenser this evening :) Cost = free as I used some bits of fabric I already had :D and some acryric yarn to tie the ends. Room is tidier and ugly plastic bags are out of sight hidden in something pretty :)431076_10150621502149755_512474754_9237417_2056700538_n.jpg

    Hi well done :TI live in Wales we have to pay for plastic bags I always used reusable bags but everytime I go shopping I try to come back and put 5ps I would have spent on bags into a money tin - you should make some shopping bags next :)

    Getting restless and wanting to make another payment; so have made another payment of £100 off my card, meaning i have now paid:

    #191 £1200/£4000

    Getting really impatient and so want it paid off now!!!
    Our debts are on 0% interest card and we do have savings of nearly the same amount as the debt so could pay it all off but then we'd have nothing at all left in savings:eek:

    Feeling really down today though. I know we are not in a bad position as others on this and other threads are but we both earn good money and never seem to have or own anything nice. So looking forward to the day we have zero debt and all spare money after bills etc is ours :)

    love the carrier bag holder, i have one i made about 9 years ago from the remains of a denim skirt - certainly not as pretty as yours.

    I've just found out i'm going to be getting a ppi refund so that means i can pay my last remaining debts off in full yippee!! not bad considering i started in excess of £48k 6 years ago.

    started at WW this week so i'll have my first proper weigh in next week so can start posting those numbers as well.

    Have also noticed that my start amount seems to have been more than it was - really no idea how - these figures dance rings around me.

    Thanks for the kind words :) If anyone wants to know how to make their own please feel free to PM me and I'll send you instructions.

    Lemon tree I bet you cannot wait!

    MSE day today, making jacket spuds to have with butter and yummy cheese. Not had them in years! Then I might do some more sewing as I need to start building up a collection of things for the craft fair I'm definitely going to do next month :D
