It was a good afternoon and evening Cumbria, SA and beanie
Thanks for popping by Halshimitzu :wave:
Today I spent £2.20 on the bus, £2.65 on coffee, £1 on ten birthday cards from Card Factory, £3 on six posher cards from The Works, £3 on a 2018 calendar and diary from The Works, and £1.78 on ten metres of tartan gift wrap which can double up as xmas and birthday wrap :xmassmile.
The total came to £13.63 :eek:so a slightly spendy day, but it will all be useful. I then spent £8.75 on fruit and binliners from Tesco :eek: Not a cheap day, but spent on useful stuff rather than frittered away.
Since then I've cleaned out the furry moron, emptied all the bins and put some laundry on. Feeling slightly shattered now, but I still need to wash towels and change our bedding
