You only spent £50 - lightweight

Glad I'm not the only one, it was all just jumping out at me.
Even bought 2 bags of mini eggs as they were 2 for £2. What made me smile was that I checked the date on them as if I really thought they were likely to make it to tomorrow let alone Easter!

I've an idea, tell the shop about your meet and ask for a hefty discount for all the press they're getting on here!

Droooool. Hobbycraft...
Love the place, always end up coming out with random bits of this and thatApologies for the random full stops. Phone buttons too small, thumbs too big.

Luckily our Hobbycraft is a good half hour's drive away, so I don't go that often. Unfortunately it's quite near Ikea so it seem pointless going all that way & not visiting both places. But then if I do Hobbycraft first, I can buy storage boxes from Ikea to keep it all in

I went in a few weeks ago and bought various wooden hanging Easter decorations for the children to decorate. Cost a fortune but there is just so many things I could use. I could spend hours in there. x

I'm always spending, my husband works in north london and i often go down at weekends but spend most of the time in Hobby craft, The Range, poundland and many more bargin shops. Then i cant help buying on ebay and crafty crocodiles. On the bright side i probably wont have to pay any tax cos i never earn anything as i spend too much lol!

the kids love it! ......its nice and colourful and I do love the place. I've been to magic shows and punch and Judy with my daughter at hobbycraft and i do always seem to buy at least one thing when i go in!!
must not go in there but its so so close! at the top of my road really! its on a retail park which i visit i feel lazy instead of walking to the supermarket.
oh dear :-(
i am always up for meeting fellow childminders...as i am a little shy and only know wobble...( who i stalk and have photos on my wall of) lol
