    Biscuits? Look up SweetAmbs, she’s fantastic! Or card making and paper craft? Hunkydory, create and craft, etc. Glass engraving? Model building? 😊

    Thanks WW. Some good suggestions there. I've thought about making stained glass but to be honest I'm not really to be trusted with tools! I'm off to look up SweetAmbs, never heard of her.

    Ooh yes, a weekly get together for a piece of cake and coffee would be brilliant :smile: I've looked at card making but don't really send many so after making a dozen I'd be done  :D

    Jewellery is something I've also looked at @WinterWarrior but half my problem is I don't want to keep anything I make. I usually send the crochet and quilts off to charity but I'm a bit fed up of making the same things now. And the jigsaws and books get donated as well. I can't be doing with clutter so whatever I make needs to be out of the house as soon as it's done  :D

    Morning Everybody :)

    Day 6/31, Prolific £2.32 cleared, £2.53 outstanding, Shoppix 1020/3200, Spends £12

    I'd completely forgotten the 'foot lady' was coming today, so I'm now down to £12 spends. On the plus side, I feel like I'm walking on air. Mum had her but it's the first time she's been to me and I'm determined to keep up with this. It's a proper pedicure and I've been told every 3 months will suffice, so I need to add 'foot pot' to the list  :D I rang a clinic I went to years ago and they would have charged me £35. She charged me £15 so a good saving. 

    Today's trial will be collecting my script from the chemist. I've been going every month for 7 years and very rarely is it there ready and waiting for me. There's always the drama of them saying it's not been ordered, me saying, yes it has can you check on your computer, them looking it up and then spending 10 minutes routing around for it on the shelf, where guess what, there it's been all the time right at the front. If it wasn't so irritating it'd be quite funny. Randomly, every so often I'll get a text from them telling me it's ready to collect but even then we still go through the same process. :#

    Friday is chippy night, so no cooking for me. I share a fish, chips, peas and curry sauce with hubby. DS has sausage and chips and DD doesn't like chippy so she'll sort something out for herself. 

    Hope you all have a good day. x

    Hope you get your script without to much bother.
    Your tea sounds just lush.
    Jealous of your foot treatment.
    Enjoy your weekend  :) x

    Wishing for chip shop chips now 😂. 

    Do you fancy trying cross stitch or do you already do that ?
