  • Hi Laura,
    Sounds like you're doing really well - well done!
    Money isn't too great here either. DH got made redundant end of July, fortunately he's now got a new job that's going well, but now I found out last week that I'm being made redundant at the end of this month, so need to get myself sorted quickly.
    ;) Working hard in the hopes of being 'lucky' ;)

    Gosh that's bad luck redstararnie :( Hopefully you'll get sorted quickly - and at least your husband found something new relatively quickly. Good luck

    I had a little thought to myself I might make a list off all the bath stuff/hair stuff/skin stuff/shampoos etc etc I use up and a list of new stuff I've bought and hopefully the list of things I've used up will out weigh the stuff I've bought. It really should- I've got loads! So much I'm thinking of asking people NOT to buy me bath stuff at christmas time!

    Stuff I've used up
    • 1x Hair Dye
    New stuff I've bought


    Haven't actually got anything to write right now but I'll add it in as it happens.

    Think I'll try ironing my sewing tonight, a bit. The creases from the hoop are annoying me. I'll damp tea towel it and iron the back.

    *the above post definitely is classed as a musing :p*

    Nothing much to report today. Went to friend's wedding yesterday (in my £24 outfit ;)) and had a good day and only spent £15 of a £40 budget so the leftover is spending for next week.
    Going to do a bit of sewing tonight so should be able to do another photo update. :D

    Oh my god!!! Just remembered I have a pair of Ugg boots I bought on my credit card for £107.99 that I can return (the website has a 365 day return policy on unused/unworn still in box etc which they are) :T:T:T Will do that tomorrow :D:D:D

    ps Didn't get to do any sewing last night. Will do some tonight. Promise. Only 3 months left to get it finished in in good time for christmas. :)
