Good Luck Today Fairy!

I'm still feeling snotty and miserable - want it gone now so I can get into holiday mode!! Can't taste anything, which is great for the pre-holiday diet but need my tastebuds back in time for fish n chips, and whippy ice creams!!


Aw really really hope you are in that turning stage where it seems to get worse just before it gets better. I did make me laugh when you said you where going to force it out of you with will power sort of had images of exploding snot bombs flying out your ears :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Right then i'm sure you all wnat to know how assessment went - well it lasted for 2.5 hrs :eek: and am now totally exhaustimacated

Covered everything from what kind of birth my mother had???? like how am i supposed to remember that? honestly!! to childhood experiences, why i hated school, why i drank my way through secondary school, what happened on the day i had my first 'breakdown', how i got well after that, what work i did and why, the physical health problems i have, my relationships with family members and OH, what happened at work, when did it all happen, what i do with my day and what i think i need to make me better.......

You all tired yet? :rotfl::rotfl:

Anyway, getting referred to psychology and have had meds increased yet again - think i might keel over if i have any more but fingers crossed it will do something might be a bit doolally for a few days with the increase mind you!

Aw cool beans - you should join crafty challenge too have you plans of what you want to make? Selling can be hit and miss if i am honest - main thing is getting your pricing right - its hard to evaluate how much to charge most of the time and if you go to boot fairs and things people tend to want things for nothing I think its about developing your own style as well (which i find hard cos i do so many different things :rotfl:)

You might like to check out my blog too as i will be talking about lots of different things like how to price and sell, and have this fabby idea of having a crafter of the month spot where i get people to talk about what they are up to

Vintage i have a slot for you already in mind

The challenge thread is https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3862215 btw

I've subscribed to the challenge and have already bookmarked your blog:)

I just order 2 of their bargain bags of fabric (30 metres for £15) as even if it's carp material I figured we could have a play around and see what we like doing. I was guessing that more 'practical' things might sell better at first, in order to then try and make a little money to make the more fancy things

It's a lucky dip, but I did also order some lovely black and white skull and cross bones material to hopefully make an apron for my sortofmum as a gift.

Erm, I guess facebook and online to start with, maybe a craft fair if we get enough good items together. To keep this thread for steps, I'll go post in the crafty thread instead
