    I was naughty today and bought something!!!!!!!!! Dont panic it was under £3-ive been looking at this keyring at work for weeks-its a little red and black ladybird soft toy with a tag attached that you can cross stitch a message on. Decided that as i had saved up too much for scrapbooking that i would treat myself. its an incentive to save for my MINI to put it in as i want a red and black car and on the tag i'm going to stitch... M1NE....coz i will actually own the car for a change!!!!!!!
