    *Re-juvenated a lumpy pillow by taking it apart trying to plump up the stuffing and then sewing on a thick tired-looking hand towel to act as a cushion between my head and the remaining lumpiness.

    Everything on my list achieved except for clearing out that cupboard. Will do it tomorrow.
    More money saving: Made a big jugful of lentil soup using ham stock I had in the freezer & a parmesan rind I'd been saving for just such an occasion. It's yummy, & a proper rib-sticker, so will be filling.
    Even more money saving: Mr f got the weekly shopping in under budget, despite buying a couple of extra items. Budget was £35. He spent £27. (Very pleased with himself) Good old Aldi.
    And......still no heating on. Would ideally like to go to Nov, except for bathroom towel radiator.
    Feeling motivated.

    Think that's about it from me folks - hope you have a great weekend - probably won't have time to post as have loads of exciting (free) stuff planned (fundraising run, time with OH, white water rafting for Brither in law's birthday and seeing Mam and Dad!! Phew!)

    Lots of love,

    Shoot xxx

    Sounds like a FAB and busy weekend, enjoy ;)
    It's this one..

    I fell in love with it and roses are so easy to crochet.

    That's lovely
    Hello all


    Was feeling a bit downhearted today as we are fast running out of funds in our "spending account", mainly due to larger than usual petrol spends (OH went for an interview a long drive away - he didn't get the job either!). And it is a way to go until payday - 13 more days.
    But now I have read yesterdays and todays posts I am feeling more positive. I think the solution is to start selling stuff again - and boy do I have lots of stuff to sell. Have sold all the big things we didn't really need but have lots of toys/clothes/books and other such things stashed away.


    So today I am at work, earning not spending. Soup from freezer for lunch and sausages also from freezer to have with mash later.


    OH has fixed the clothes airer - he is a DIY hero these days.


    Later I'm going to get some stuff out of the shed and start getting ready for a big push on selling.


    Still haven't had the heating on - going to see if we can last until November. May be spending quite a lot of time in bed with a hot water bottle......


    And finally - we also have a pile of bricks - could there be a Christmas present idea here (I won't be posting them though :rotfl:
    Best wishes x

    You are doing amazing lovey, now might be a good time for selling toys etc now people are starting their C(hristmas) shopping

    You could make and sell the covers, lol
