Good luck money penny . Don't know where your craft fair is but I love them

Hi willow. I give mine to my mates , I make a small Xmas card with a verse and a tea bag inside. People charge anything from 50p to £1.50... Thinks it depends where you live

Hi all

This morning I covered my outside tap and tested the alarm battery - didn't go off so will change that tomorrow, feeling a bit dizzy today.

Hi Willow. What are you making for the craft fair?

Good luck Mrs M with your fair

Wow Susan, 50 cards - and all different! Re the stickers - why do you buy them if you don't use them is the operative question?

I wrapped the rest of the main xmas prezzies - thou lost track of time, next thing knew it was 4am...

Just have some some decorated pottery and the jams etc to wrap, that shouldn't take more than couple of hrs.... then the cars still to do... at least resting next week after the dentist..... this is hopefully the last visit for extractions.

Hoping to surprise Miss Hoodie 2mor and some xmas shopping... dose up on painkillers, gd thing got scooter booked... (where did I put the L plates) xx

Angela I buy stickers because I love them. Always think they will come in handy . As yet no luck.

Mum2one - good luck on the shopping- everywhere is do busy and manners seem to have gone out the window. I got stressed after one shop and went for a meal instead

I love the www , and QR coders. I go in a shop goto buy it and then put it back. Lol

I've realised the thing I enjoy is web watching. I got to the store on line , browse fill my basket and put it back as martin says on mse . Do I really want it. Not really ... And then the big delete button comes in and everything's gone.

There are so many bargains about I've stopped looking .. DD went to asda at 7am , came back with nothing.... !!! She had a list of 3 things ... She told me what they were at 7.30 how much they were and they were better prices elsewhere. Lol ...

Again I have had no notifications from this thread and been so busy I forgot to come on and check so missed a few things going on so sorry about that xx

I had a craft fair yesterday, wasnt too bad but would have been better if they hadnt been charging £2 to get in. I have one more booked for next week, its at a school so hoping it will be a good one. I have been a bit disappointed in them this year. At least I dont have to make any more stock for the stall for a while now as I have enough for next week.

I am starting on a cushion for one of my grandson's today, then I am going to concentrate on making some clothes up for myself.

The trees are up in doors, got one in the front room, its called a pencil tree, its very tall and narrow and fits nicely in the corner. We have the big tree in the dining room this year, it saved us moving all the furniture around and back again after. The rooms look lovely and festive. Only thing we havent done yet is put the christmas tablecloth on as I dont want it getting messed up. It will go on next weekend.

We have sorted out our xmas dinners for this year. We are having inlaws round on the 11th, then son and family on 16th, may be yd is coming then too not sure yet (teens!!). Going up to London for dinner with OH's bro on 17th, then just me and OH on xmas day although YD might be coming to that too lol. Then after xmas got ED and her family coming on the Sunday. We also need to fit in a trip up to Winter Wonderland in London between that lot and going to dad's boxing day to see my family. Phew!!

Sugar spun- happy December 2 , hope DH is out soon and you are well

Rufus - sorry about the craft fair £2 a bit much for getting in, what were they thinking! The pencil tree sounds fab. Our tree up and that about it , hope to do more this week in between hospital appointments , have two each week upto Xmas .

Well I'm doing well with Xmas cards, keep plugging away. When they done it'll take a week to clean the craft room though. What a mess. Just enough room to get to the table. The floors and every space covered I'm ashamed to say. My first task in the new year is to throw out all the things I keep in case I need them. Same with the kitchen cupboards. I'm going to get some plastic boxes and try to be more organised Hahahaha

Hope you've all had a good weekend

Hope everyone ok on rundown to Xmas, busy weekend, took Miss Hoodie to see Coke Cola Lorry, she was so exicted, cheated slightly (a lot) sent grandad hoodie and Miss Hoodie to queue up while I went into a couple more shops... out with a handbag and a chain!

Then did table top and xmas fayre yesterday, (all at same venue lucky) - it was deep pockets short hands bridage - anything over 50p and they didn't want to pay... covered costs and made £20 but for being out for 9hrs.

Best part - come back with sickie bug - went to bed at 5pm yesterday... arose about 5pm today - feel like should have lost a stone in weight... (ok I can dream)...

Dentist tomorrow - tooth out - last one... nothing till Friday - recover in peace - bar a few bits of pottery and food to wrap up, - do ours nearer time, just need to get few little nick nacks for Miss Hoodie xx
