Rising to the top of the ocean - and staying afloat!

Ooooh your bag is fab! Well done Stitchy :T

I'm with you on the sewing front! I really need to do more, I know I can sew, I just need to do it and prove it! I've got loads pinned on pinterest, I'm hoping to make a dress for my niece for her 1st birthday. Need to get a move on, got about a month to do it

Such good news about the massages, what a nice thing for that girl to do! Xx

The bag is gorgeous. I am in awe of people who can do things like that. I can barely sew a button on. My talents must lie in other areas I just can't think what

Morning Freeby me too!

I'm with you on still hunting for my hidden talents - wish they'd hurry up & show themselves!:rotfl:

Ohhhh meant to say - the magazine rack arrived yesterday as well (but isn't nearly as beautiful as the bag so forgot all about it!)

It's perfect for keeping the report files in!:j

*sigh* so ..... got some different dry cat food to try the last time I did a Zoo+ order (they get 2 different types - one they eat a lot of so get in 10kg bags but the other one it's only big cat that really eats it so only need a 4kg sack now & then but it's a lot more expensive) ..... anyway, got this other stuff to try and ..... they love it!

So much so, the small bag I got is just about finished already!:eek:

I can either order 6 x 1.5kg (which I'm not quite sure I want to do yet until I'm 100% convinced they'll keep eating it!;)) or a single 1.5kg bag (much better) ... problem is - I don't really need anything else just now ..... so would be stuck paying the delivery charge *sigh*

Ok .... think I've sorted ..... I absolutely hate paying delivery charges ... why pay £xxx when I could have that amount in goods!

Anyway, luckily this site has a really low limit (£19) - but still annoying when you only need one or two things (and especially when I need cat litter as that comes to £15 and I always struggle to find something for just the £4!

So ... got 2 x 1.5kg bags which should keep them going for a while, a new litter scoop (reduced to £1.29), a pack of the wet food they like (£3.69 for 6 tins so not bad :T and at least they both eat it!) ...... to get to the £19 .... 4 toys (on offer) which can go into the rescue bag (newly re-started!)

Total spent £19.65 which is about as close to £19 as I'll ever get!:)

Right .... think we'll go to the beach now - the frost / ice seems to be a little less thick!:eek:

Maisie is being a pain & "irritating" (and jumps up everytime I move) as she's used to going out 1st thing ....

rising_from_the_ashes

Had a lovely walk on the beach Maisie's suitably tired out & is having a snooze (which doesn't last long so I need to make the most of it!)

Don't seem to have written about yesterday's escapades _pale_ - must've been on another forum as I def wrote about it somewhere!:o Let's just say she wasn't in the good books :cool:

Honestly, it's like having a teenager!:eek:

Recipe folders

Spend hours last night sorting out my recipes - they were everywhere ... in folders, books, drawers etc some I would never have used (so have even binned some:T)

So .... I now have 2 lovely organised files - hoping this will help with my meal planning & cut down on grocery spends :money:



Quite chuffed with how they've turned out!:)
