New Year - New Stash Diet!

[cw18]

at least you won't get another issue of SI until next month - here's hoping you've no more mags to come

Evening all. Have been very good today. Made three mini books and a SLO so money into my pot and none spent woo hoo!
Went out to edinburgh today so got some great photos to scrap too!

[wssla00]

Oooh forgot to say how are you all stash dieters?

[cw18]

I headed up to the only pound store I know of in Manchester in the hope of getting a money tin for my 'earnings' after work tonight, only to discover that in the 2+ months since I've last been in Manchester the 'know' has become 'knew'

Still, that's one less temptation for me buying stash I suppose

[wssla00]

Thats a right shame Cheryl but think....more to spend in another shop! There isnt much in atm anyways (not that ive been looking).

[whitetigeress33]

But £7.10 is a good price for a double die

good point, just darnt go on the auction site for america cos I never come off spending less than £50
Just waiting for a load of rare dies that cost me nearly £70 before xmas....lol
but they do sell fo alot more over here so I look at it as an investment.....lol
Plus i did sell nearly all my sizzix dies to cover xmas and get myself a treat, my excuse and Im sticking to it.....lol

ooh we are poo dieters!

okay i bought some real nice creative imaginations 'time for tea' chipboard, papers and stickers, some heidi swapp 12x12 beach rub ons, some really cute birdie autumn leaves stamps and some 7gypsies stickers, see not much!

[wssla00]

That is soooo nice Helen. Not that im buying you understand but where did you buy the time for tea chipboard and what are they like???

[cw18]

Well, as I don't have a fixed budget for stash (depends on my salary, and what else I need to pay for that's not stash related), I figured I need to keep a running total of money available and money spent...... so I've added a line into my signature.....

Just need to train myself to keep it updated now!

ETA: Just off to update it with my "earnings" as well, so I know how far away from getting the A3 printer I've promised myself I am..... that might also inspire me to 'get scrapping' a bit more

thanks girls your vigilance is much appreciated Rebecca I am allowed to spend £25 and have only bought a Pritt stick so far this month. Seem to be making lots of mini things that require hole punching atm (in a bid to use up stash )

[wssla00]

That is so amazing teresa only a pritt stick! I wish i had that will power. I am VERY VERY bad, but at least im using up my stash now!

Queenie Tree you are doing great - I saw a cropadile somewhere earlier - NOT that I have been visiting sponsors or anything...... , but I already have one, so - am I bovvered??

I'm keeping a running total of money left... and IF I ever lose weight I'll be adding £ earned!

[Theresa]

Queenie Tree you are doing great

oh thanks Jules I've just blown it though I found a cropadile on HappyScrappers after long, hard and determined searching! I put nothing else into my basket so it was £19.99 inc post (opted for the free postage, 2nd class but heck - I will be punching holes soon!)


best go and edit my signature
