    wow 2 days since anyones posted where is everyone?

    oh well i'll ramble to myself then - im dong that a lot these days! i went fishing on thursday didnt catch a thing but the fish kept popping up the surface ~ i think they were laughing at us! what a trek! was told it was less than a half hour walk from the road! an hour later having jumped a river (only just making it), trekked threw marsh and bog and my friends foot going right under we finally saw the flamming loch! never again!

    Started learning to weave, its so much fun! nearly got it! going down to london sometime to do a tailoring course so i can well, attempt tailoring. never been to london so very excited about that so need to save the pennies!

    As for spending. ehh i havent done too badly. i havent really left the garage this last week and i probably will be the same next week.

    Anyhoo i think i've rambled on enough. hope everyone is well!

    Hey C,

    Good to hear from you... glad to hear the weaving is going well!

    I've been so absorbed in my project that I havent really thought to update! Money spent yesterday was the food shop, £11 for the week inc a week treats too...

    And that sadly is about it for me. Working all weekend and the sun was shining like a beauty today!V.depressing!

    Sorry I've not been on! Had a week off & been decorating & sorting for car boot sale today (made 120+!). Have lost track of whats (ie compleaty blown the budget, then recouped etc!) what so have just started from scratch! Must rentroduce spending diary this month! Been quite lax with this of late & its lethal for me! Back to being good - much easier in routine although the starbucks frapuccino was 100% delicious! Have waited over 5 months for one (due to diet!) and relished every second & then didnt sleep all night due to caffeine buzz!!

    Hi,

    I went camping for a long weekend which was an adventure (can think of other words to describe it but this one's more positive!!). Lots of hiccups but spent well belated time with family which was lovely and saw my lil bro on his b'day too.

    I'm planning a NSD with lots of positive thoughts and list making and a trip to the library.

    I haven't drawn out my budget for this week coz am not planning to spend it.

    I need a couple of bits and bobs shopping wise and dog needs some bits and bobs but will list them and draw out exact money. Car also needs work doing on it but I'm just planning on not using it until next mon and then dealing with it.

    Hope every1's doing well,

    Luv Jxx
