The tickets I had looked up on eBay because I wanted some for one of the envelopes I was making and have used them in the past on something else but it was £10+ a roll. If I wanted a couple of colours it would have worked out too expensive so I didn't get any at all and made my own. Then yesterday when I saw that rubber stamp set I had to get it even though I hate things with words on. I can however use my pro markers to go around the outline so can miss the words out. I really hate some of the wording as you can only use them for a partner which limits it so why do it? Those stamps by the way cost me £6.
I then came across those frame rubber stamps which I whipped up straight away as they were only £2.50 and I've already made good use of them on my envelopes, I love them! There was another set but that had words to go with it so you didn't get as many frames as this one as this has a frame within a frame.

I then went to the craft shop in the city to buy some pro markers only like an idiot I left my little chart at home of the colours I needed so only picked up these 2. Before I even got to the markers I came across these origami sheets which I had to get as I really wanted some more but the website that I ordered my batch from years ago seems to have disappeared and no where else seems to sell a great variety as them. It may still exist but my last laptop went haywire and I lost everything which is why I thought I'd saved all my banners, buttons etc... and couldn't understand why I couldn't find all of them... thankfully I eventually did.
I bought 2 of these from Primarks yesterday for £3 each... I couldn't believe my luck as they were on for £7. I am one day going to buy myself the bigger one which is double the size of this as it would fit so many of my letter writing things in and I can write more often downstairs. At the moment its on for £12 and with having spent so much already I couldn't bring myself to spend anymore on myself. I'd also bought some cartridges for my calligraphy pens but they still won't work properly :(.
One I bought for the daughter of someone I used to work with, this teacher is having a year out to do other things so I thought I'd give them both a little something as her mum would truly appreciate it. I'm thinking of filling it with little bits and pieces but I've no idea what yet. Maybe you have some suggestions what a girl of around 8-9 years will like?

This is the left overs of a take away we had last night. My older brother told us to get one each as there wouldn't be enough to share. I didn't even get half of it eaten and was full as it had the most amazing super chunky chips too... now a days take aways only sell fries. I've never had this before, its like a pizza with a twist. The base is chicken covered in bread crumbs, I've no idea how many chickens they would have used to get it to the size it was as it was the size of half a pizza. It was then baked with cheese and peppers on top. On the side it had an onion, sweetcorn and pepper salad with cheesy cabbage. It was really nice and super filling. My younger brother choose 2 of these and for my mum and sister they had a bologneses topping which I tried a square of and actually liked more as the tomato paste left a tangy taste. I still need to pay my brother for this! Its the first chicken type thing that I truly liked as usually they are too chunky with squidgy bits in that I hate.
How has your weekend been?
