Ohhh Christ! Where have you been shopping??? I won't have that much to spend! I have to save some of it aswell lol! It'll have to be a budgeted shoe shopping spree... (Until I get my education maintenance allowance in September) haha!

Meadowhell - not be eating till payday mind !!!!!!!!

Haha I bet you wont!

Sorry for going off topic!!!!

other than shopping I have no current project......there back on topic now :)

building a (small) hot air balloon.

can't quite figure the burner yet.

I have the envelope material (mylar) but haven't even looked at the gondola or anything. Tried a prefab one this evening, inflated nicely but did not lift - too heavy and too warm outside unfortunately.

hope to take a camera up in it one of these years.

tut - i wish i had something interesting to say but im doing bugger all except reading up about the anatomy in time for uni to commence.

Organising a night out for 40 adults, its like rounding up sheep in a field with no fences.

DIY and decorating on hold for a while, sick to back teeth of it.

Just bought a lead to connect a walkman to my pc, as per another thread, and am planning to copy all my tapes to hard disk. Oh, also put in an additional hdd to hold it all.

All my spare time is taken up by D.I.Y, for sixty years I have had to mend and repair out of sheer necessity, so now it is second nature.

I have just repaired a portable three legged stool, as one of the legs had broken, so I cut, drilled, riveted and fitted another one in, I do not know why as they are only one pound to buy a brand new one.

It is force of habit after a lifetime of skimping and saving, so old habits die hard, even if I won five million pound on the lotterey I would still try to save money whenever I could.

It sounds as though I should take a few leaves out of your book. I'm trying to save up for University.

I do the "small change in a tub" saving thing and I'm also going to be putting a set ammount of money in my savings account each month. But I'm trying to work out how to save a little more!

Helllp!

Saving for a trip to Australia. Going backpacking for 6 months next year in the land down under so I can't really afford to have any projects unfortunately!!:(

Trying to find a pub (as usual)
