This last week has absolutely run away from me. I can't believe that today is March 1st and the first day of meteorological Spring! How did that suddenly happen?? Today (Saturday) is warm and sunny, after a very cold night and early morning, and Gray has gone to the allotment leaving me free to catch up with chores and a bit of cardmaking.
During the week I dropped off another batch of 26 cards for the Hospice shop to sell and I've begun another batch as the last lot sold quickly.
As long as they sell at £1 each I'm happy to keep making them until I run out of materials. As it is, I've spent £10 on some more card blanks so I really can't afford to keep buying bits and pieces in the way I used to when I sold at craft fairs 😌 and I'm using more die cut shapes which I've cut myself to keep the cost down. It's more time consuming but does use up scraps of card etc
I can also report another sale on eBay in the sum of £31.11 after postage 👍The money dropped into my bank account this morning, so I'll add it to my total now.
Sell & Save £45.52
This gives me enough cash to buy something for our Daughter's special birthday which she mentioned she would like. She will be 50 on March 24th. I don't know how that happened either!
-----------------
Next week we have the Gardeners' Guild meeting on Tuesday evening. It will be the AGM but they are tempting us to attend with the offer of cheese and biscuits😎 and a coffee of course....
Expenses this month include my car insurance which I've managed to get for £170.96, and we've been notified of our rent increase from April 1st of £15.25 per month. Luckily, this is less than I envisaged but the buildings cover, which they arrange and over which we have no control, is yet to be decided........

Now that the weather is picking up a bit, our thoughts are turning to days out. I doodled a list as follows:
Black Country Living Museum
Cosford Air Museum
Bantock Park
Tewkesbury & The Abbey
A Canal trip
Wightwick Manor (we have a free NT ticket)
The Circus
If I don't write these things down I know we won't do them. None of them will be too expensive, especially if we take our own food, although we might buy a coffee at the venue.
As I cross things off the list, I'll share the trip with you 😊 Our best friends are going to Tenerife for 3 weeks over Easter. They have 3 holidays a year. We can't compete with that but I can't wait for our day trips to begin......
Have you planned any trips or holidays yet?
Thanks for popping in. Stay safe and well wherever you happen to be,
Angie 💗
