Bank Holiday....

And as usual it is a damp squib.  I just wish they'd spread them out better,  we get two this month then nothing till August!   Mind you it no longer makes any difference to me, just another day.

The day did start very promising,  blue skies,  sunshine and then it all went rapidly downhill.  By time washing was ready to go out it had clouded over, but I took a chance.    Mum also wanted to go out, she'd been stuck in all weekend,  would like at this juncture to thank my brother for being so thoughtful.... NOT.   So I agreed to go out for lunch,   didn't want to, I'd have been happy with my tennis and crafting.   So off we went, and don't ask me what happened, but mum was in a spending mood,  she insisted on paying for lunch, and tried to get me to go for the fillet steak.... too early in the day for me.   Next we headed off for the retail park,  and she went bonkers in M&S,   confounding me by happily paying for not just one duvet set, but two, the very two she said were far too expensive two weeks ago?    Then she bought two tops,   she was on a roll, so I jokingly say that if she likes there is stuff in PC world that I'd like,  and I really was joking.  But mum said if I wanted something she'd buy it... ooer... the temptation, that new Ipad,  I couldn't,  could I... NO I most certainly couldn't.  I just indulged in the new version of Paint Shop Pro, a program I love.    I also needed a new mouse, a track ball,  which I was going to pay for myself, but mum refused to let me pay, well you can't argue with your mum can you?    And I did decorate her room a few weeks ago.   Not that the track ball mouse was much.   It is also a super duper version, they have improved it, it is the Kensington track ball mouse, but without the rubber bits which always get clogged... so this is a super duper fast version,  which keeps out foxing me.   I do need a new keyboard, but drew the line at that. 

So no crafting today,  pic is of a card I made yesterday, a kanban kit,  simply put together,  but it is for a charity so I want quick cards.   Last year they sold all I made in the space of a couple of hours, so hope they have same result next Saturday.   Got quite a few made already,  just want to finish off a couple of kits.  Just one gripe with Kanban.... please start including envelopes in your kits!  

Hope you all had a lovely Bank Holiday, in spite of the inclement weather.
