Monday 18 August 2008

Got back from Camber last night, feeling very rough. We had some food and passed out for about 15 hours! We were so tired.

I got an amazing present from Luci and Dave; a knitting bag, needle roll (with needles inside), point protectors, stitch holder, cable needles and a big button! I love it all :)

Darren got me what I asked for; Singstar 80s and My Health Coach for my DS. We played Singstar pretty much all night on Saturday night, so much fun!

At the moment I am knitting a bag made from plastic carrier bags! This is going to be a Christmas present for Dee. Check out this site for a great tute; http://darngoodyarn.com/pattern2.html

Day One - 11 August 2008

I just read Julie Falatko's blog;  http://worldofjulie.com/365things.htm and feel incredibly inspired to follow in her footsteps.

I need to declutter our home and our lives.

I just sold some clothes on ebay yesterday so these will be my first items, once I have been to the post office and sent them off I will list them here and add the cash amount I've made!
