Oh dear - i kinda lost the plot today and spent farrrrrrr too much on stuff i don't need
:o:o It was all charity shop stuff - mostly fabric for crafting with but i already have a pile of craft fabric so i really didn't need to buy any! I was looking for pink stuff for my breast cancer quilt (bought some for this) but saw too many other nice ones :eek::eek: I really need to get stuck into making stuff and more importantly finishing things ready to sell! Hopefully it will make me money long term but it was just a bit of a splurge!

+70p because my uncle gave me £2 for parking and it was then £1.30 so he told me to keep the £ ... Feel this is a little bit of a cheat one though
I'm trying to decide whether to drink or drive tomorrow would be £20 down the drain if I drink, + a hung over trip to airport sun to return dad to airport.....hmm will get back to you on that one... could be a big boost to the pot though
xI hope you know your capable, & brave, & significant.
even when it feels like your not....0
