Cosmic supply company rocks!
This week I have aquired a knitting machine off Freecycle, it’s something I’ve fancied a go at for ages but it’s not something you can just buy to have a go at is it! It’s half set up on the kitchen table waiting for a bit of peace and quiet for me to read the really hopeless manual for how to work it!
and then Duke got a car off EBay to replace the Volvo which, though utterly lovely for long journies is unreliable and a serious gas guzzler. He’s got a diesel Mondeo for £400 which, even allowing for his lead right foot will have paid for itself within a year just on the fuel it will save even if he doesn’t manage to sell the Volvo (which he’s hoping to if only as "spares or repair" for £100)
and to cap it all, I noticed a kid’s bedroom for our new small-ish tent on EBay and , very tongue in cheek, put on a very low bid, and was the only bidder for it! So that’s her main Christmas present all sorted out (she KNOWS how much they cost because she wanted me to buy it when I got the tent and was TOLD exactly waht I thought about interior decor for tents at £60!!!!)
So really, for all that there is a lot of doom and gloom in the bank account, things aren’t all bad!
catching up. knitting machine sounds fab
