    I'm just online, unless you want to come and visit me in my home :) I need to add an additional postage option for small orders but I've not worked out how yet.

    I buy so many different fabrics from over the pond that are gathering dust, that I thought I should try selling them online and from there the idea of selling ribbons and other bits started.

    I don't officially open until the start of CraftFest on the 16th, so you've all got a sneak preview hehe.

    Be careful what you wish for......I don't live far from Cardiff so I could come visit you at home :rotfl:

    Good luck though x

    Oh, I've put a note on there now to say that 1 unit = 1m :)

    I've just bagged myself 2 free tickets for the cinema tonight from the cinema ticket thread :T:T:T funny how if you look on the day of the actual film you're more or less guaranteed to get tickets :)

    I thought it may have been a metre but wasn't sure.

    When I look at the cinema tickets none of them was a cinema close to me :( Hope you have a good evening :o

    Also worth putting if the fabric will be cut from the bolt as ordered or if all fabric is precut in fat quarters. As a dressmaker I'd want to buy in one length, so buying 4 fat quarters wouldn't appeal unless I knew it would come in one length 66 wide. Otherwise, looking good.

    One card down, three to go......

    I've also had £82 leave my account for my Postoffice CC (which is all capital) and £100 go to my other Halifax card (which is probably 2/3rds capital). Never before have I looked forward to getting a CC bill, but am this month as want to see where I'm at with my large Halifax debt.

    Next target is my MBNA balance which reaches the end of its 0% life in April which is next month!!! Arghh - how did that happen!!!

    Will need to do the calculations, but prob 2% off my total debt
    MBNA - [STRIKE]£2,642.15[/STRIKE] £0
    [STRIKE]HBOS - £245[/STRIKE] £0 HBOS - £5,052 - 6.95% lifetime of the balance and [STRIKE]£1,864.30[/STRIKE] £0 and £3,132.67- 0% 29th October 2013)
    Postoffice [STRIKE]£3,240[/STRIKE] £3,035 (0% 3rd December) Open University Loan [STRIKE]£412[/STRIKE] £0
    GRAND TOTAL = [STRIKE]£16,500.46[/STRIKE] £13,977
  • Oooh - and that should move me into the 13 thousands! Hideous to some, but sounds great to me :-)

    DH received lift money from his colleague today so I am going to top it up with £2 save the change and a bit from the current account to round it up to £67. An odd amount but it will bring my total paid off this month to £1000:D

    Should have another £80 for my DH phone to add, it looks like I won't get anything for my water damaged one after all:(. This wont come through for a week or 2 though.

    #82 £2002.42/£18458

    ETA: Couldn't resist rounding down my mortgage balance by £2.42 to a round £100
    Save £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%
    Pay off £7000 - £1743 - 19.4%
    Make £2021 extra income - £99.75

    I've got 22 things on ebay!! :j:j:j

    I've staggered it a bit so I don't have to sort it all out at the same time, some 5 days, 7 days and 10 days.
