Mum2One - can I just say it's so nice to hear of you daughter saving hard for her ipod (even though I know you've said she's getting one for her b.day) and actually sounding like she appreciates the value of things and money. So many children now get far too many material goods, and don't appreciate it. For example I know someone who said "He broke my ipad so I got him his own" I think it's shocking!

Well done you for bringing her up like this x

sugarspun - well done on the challenges, i must say I struggle, im usually always in my own little world

mum2one

Well done Miss Hoodie - £10 is a great find, the most i found lately is 5p, thinks its the recession

Good luck on the cooker, about time

I made some more xmas cards today, very pleased with how they come out, not sure about the dog one though

Ngtmare - Miss Hoodie had a friend for a sleepover - how I never pulled my hair out I dont know - she was a ngtmare - nothing was right

Hi everyone, not done anything for xmas, been too busy with other things going on. YD has found a place in a hostel which is close to me so I am glad about that, just hope she doesnt mess it up as they have a lot of rules to stick to like being home by 11pm on the dot 5 nights a week. She has also got an interview for college next week so hopefully things can start to improve and I can stop worrying about her so much.

I have been making a few key rings for my stall, need to make some phone pouches and get on with the other bits I need to make for Xmas, just havent had the get up and go to do them though with all the hassle going on.
