@Cherryfudge - I've had a closer look at the pens but alas, to no avail, so they've gone back in the recycling. They were from a pack of 10 of which 5 have been OK, so no idea why these weren't. Pity, but worth a try. Brilliant idea of yours to use willow twigs for the basket repair.
Minimise:
Personal papers shredded and recycled
Finished a jar of tartar sauce, jar washed and recycled
Minimise Maintenance:
A large shoulder bag in CS carrier, replaced by a smaller cross body bag that came as a freebie with an online order.
Mend:
Have started to sew up the pieces of a cardigan that I knitted quite some time ago.
I'll have to make more of an effort with the Mending as there are now 7 garments waiting to be altered!
Make Do:
As ever, still using up freezer contents as part of a low-spend month.Be kind to others and to yourself too.2
