Mrs moneyPenny and Dechoelta - apologies as i put the prizes up safe - got them in Tunisia - they have finally made their way to the Post Office today, so hopefully wed or Thurs they should be with you,

deltaecho - I am so jealous, I love where you live, Miss Hoodie loves Dingles - when we go down there its a ngtmare getting her home.

Hope everyone ok. Don't know about you but the rain, my tan going rusty!!!!

I have to confess I treated myself to a felt drawing kits with the felt pens (only £1) got it from the coast spent 2hrs tonight colouring in a campervan picture, and I really enjoyed it.

Very quiet here, good news Miss Hoodie had her report for music - shes just started learning the ukerleylee (spelling), shes had 6 lessons and apparently shes a natural at it, really pleased for her. Shes been a star recently. xx

Exactly this!

Everyone is sounding really productive, well done!

I'm going through present cupboard stash tonight to update list I keep. Also ordering a few bits off Book People.

Need to get some fabric for lining the book bags and then make a start on those. I keep changing my mind what colour to get though...!!!

:mad:Miss Hoodie has found my stash of vouchers on Amazon account, - :eek:

I have 1 amazon in my name, which we use for everything, and has my kindle linked to, then mum has an amazon account, which really only gets used once in a blue moon - Miss Hoodie downloads her kindle books, and if mum wants to get something for me then Miss Hoodie can help her!!

So I had to tell a white lie and say that I was getting rid of the sky box in my rm at the end of 12mth contract and wanted recordable freeview box and upgrade the DVD player to a Blue Ray.

felt so quilty as she had seen a backpack, and went upstairs and got £13 from her sales tin so I could pay on card and she give it me back, So said take it from the vouchers

(were saving like mad for her bday!!) xx

Typical Mum2one lol. Cant keep anything secret from kids. Not sure what we are up to today, OH is off, I'd like to go to the Range to get some felt but doubt he will want to go (bit too far to walk there and back again).

ED is moving in a months time so wants to paint her rooms before she goes to cover up what the kids have done there lol so I have volunteered to help out. Will probs be tomorrow, sat and sun.

Got another book yesterday for my book bags. Its a nice one that is a bit bigger than the last one I used so going to keep that by for one of the nieces (I put the other one I made on my stall, had lots of interest but didnt sell it). Talking of stalls, have book one at the Dickens Festival beginning of June so need to get stocked up, sold a bit on Saturday, made £53 altogether, then sold a bag the next day online £15, and did some sewing for someone Monday £30, so not been a bad few days for money. Need to book up another fair for middle of June and get some more fabrics in. Did treat myself to a bit of new make-up in Boots yesterday though, rare treat too.

mrs-moneypenny

we went to a family fun day at DS2 school over the weekend and made fabric clocks, ill post a photo up later as they look really impressive and were easy to do. thought some of the crafty ones on here might like a go.

mum2one you have no secrets when you have kids.

I would love to see them Mrs MP xx
