    well you will laugh, I took two bags of clothes into work to weigh in, got 11 kg, so £5.50 cash in. Then during the course of the day as the sorting was done, ended up buying some shoes ands clothes for DGD, and giving back £5! Mind you where else can you get children's clothes for £1 and shoes for £2? Not many places these days.
    I managed to stay awake and do some alterations that were waiting to be done. But not managed to do all that needs doing.
    Today I am at Biggest of Mooloo's babysitting DGD2, but will need to take her out with me if I am to get anything done today.
    DS has been working hard, and is finally starting to face up to his debts. Although he has gone down a debt consolidation with a company, which I am not thrilled about, as the charges are so high in my opinion.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    :oAnother late night sewing. Making some dolly bags for my friends wedding on Saturday. A late request at the beginning of the week. It took me far too long to do. Best part of 7 hours for three. Things were just not going to plan. Although two of those hours were embroidering butterflies so the bags matched in with the ring pillow made a while ago, and hadn't much fabric so was adapting the plan as I went along. Picture on my blog.
    That rare place I visit these days, but promise myself I will use more often when I get back from holiday! (Mmmmm!)

    Made a thermal bag yesterday, finished it today, and road testing it with a beef bung in type of meal. Now I have to just wait!
    A few items sold on eBay. Posted off 3, but one hasn't paid yet. So will need to go again when they do!
    Time to pack. Or at least start.

    Pictures on my blog.
    Most of packing done. Time for a glass of wine and some relaxation. Off to Oxford tomorrow, France on Sunday.

    I'm sure Mooloo could share a few tips with you when she gets home about how she budgets and saves for her wee family.

    BTW - Look how clever!!! Mooloo's Thermal Cooking Bag all made ready to go on holiday with her to feed everyone.

    I can't wait to find out how she gets on with it.

    I had remembered that you were having issues - so I thought I would show it off on your behalf :-)

    Have a great break - hope you have remembered to pack everything!

    See you when you get home.
