Still OSing! (my other threads are a bit depressing so decided a new one needed!)

I'm glad I'm not the only one planning so far ahead!

Had a lovely time at the beach, got 4 loads of washing dry and had a no spend day to boot!! Not bad for a bank holiday Monday a? Xxx

Another beautiful morning. So lovely to wake up to sun and blue sky! There's not a cloud!

I always think how nice it is for the holidaymakers when we have this beautiful weather in the school holidays! Xxx

Another Christmas planner here,Ii am in the process of compiling a list of things I am intending to make this year, mostly using items I already have.

I agree with Tiddlywink on the blackboard paint I have done a number of projects from a small can and it is still going strong, you can even re-purpose brown paper carrier bags into gift bags with a swoop of blackboard paint across any brand name.

You lucky thing - we've had heavy rain all day and my cat's been attacking anything she can get her paws on 'cos she doesn't want to go out and get wet . It's like living with a sulky teenager.

Oh no tiddlywinks, its been windy but sunny all day. My headache is telling me thunders due!

We had great fun at heligan. Tho my beautiful boy isn't himself. I'm hoping hes not getting ill, tho he is complaining about his throat and says his skin feels Tickly

Yes clicked I think black board paint is going on the list!!

Hope he's feeling better cheel, unfortunately chicken pox is doing the rounds so check him for spots

I too am going to have to start thinking about Christmas. Money was tight last year and I just about scraped by. This year it's tighter still

cheel

Later I'll try and post about the things I'm hoping to make. Might help with some ideas?

Hes still about the same no spots on tummy or back but he will only let me look for a sec or two. Will pop him in bath later and have proper look then. Xx

Just a heads up that Home Bargains have plain paper lunch bags (sorry can't remember the price but definitely cheap) that I've bought to use as giftbags. It's so much easier than wrapping and with a bit of shredded (recycled) tissue they look great.

Gawd, I must look like an Amazon addict with all the links I post but I just want to let you know about these lunch bags I bought... they are catering spec, good and sturdy for carrying things and also can be decorated for gifts:

Pack of 100 for £4.99 and free delivery.

I use them for taking pack lunches to events as they look the part and then can be thrown away leaving hands free for the rest of the day.

They are also good for goodie bags, gifts, storing bread etc.
