Ha ha maybe the staff thought I was fat enough already! I did look in the fridge bit, I do like their Victoria sponge but I didnāt see any bramley apple sponge so maybe they had sold out. Maybe next time Iāll find it.

Iāve heard the phrase SABLE used for when you have more than youāll ever need / be able to use of something - Stuff Aquired Beyond Life Expectancy!
Iām āonlyā 58 but I think most of my craft supplies would fall into that category

My excuse on glass (which I use frequently to Bob when he tells me I only just broke even the month before re sales vs purchases 
) thereās not much point having 20 sheets of green glass when you are trying to make a red Santa Claus.

I have already used 24 of the earring bails and hooks so I Can justify that purchase
Not sure about the skirt I bought on Ebay today But I am going to the Theo Paphitis SBS Award thingy next week and as I am going to receive my SBS award from the Man himself I need it !!

Oh how exciting Joy you absolutely need that new skirt, well done on the award, I hope you have a fabulous ceremony.
But oh no, I didnāt realise we couldnāt buy clothes ā¦I canāt justify my new outfits from Killstar last week, I didnāt need them but I did like them 
and in my defence I didnāt know I had to sit on my hands completely throughout February. I will try harder ā¦my school reports always said āDeborah must try harderā nothingās changed really.

Clothing and food are not supplies but a necessity plus the thought of Joy turning upon a posh do and her Ginny Wades does not bear thinking about!

I was shocked Joy as Valentines should have been end of last month if not before. The post is bad atm so not a cats chance of anyone buying now would get the item by Wednesday.

How is everyone getting on, have you failed or been strong?
I have been so good cannot believe it but then again non crafting, ordered new bed linen that to me is a necessity as ours are clean but ancient. They can no longer be repaired. So have spent money but on the home, which keeps DH happy.
Just ordered Ā£70ās of meds for the pampered dog, will collect next Tuesday from the vets. Also off to look at carpets next week for the bedroom, good job
Having a no buy February for supplies.

Epic Fail. Recieved a package of 2kg of 60/40 solder yesterday as down to last 2 sticks and got a few bits of glass at same time as more economical postage wise.
Also had to order some big envelopes as down to 2 and am quite nicely busy orderwise at the moment (on my other two platforms anyway ! 
)

I can say hand on heart that I have bought zero supplies since the yarny stash at the beginning of the thread.
I have however splurged a bit on a couple of new snowdrop varieties, (Mr PHās valentine gift) no choice but to buy now as they are best planted in the green. Im slowly building my collection and have a grand total of eight different varieties now

I only have one variety but I have at least 1000 in bloom at the moment. They often dig themselves out and I collect the little piles of shooting bulbs and put them under the hedge on our grass verge outside. They are now doing nicely there too (we live on a country lane).
Just had to stop to take a photo. For the first time since we moved here in 2004 I have seen a Siskin in our garden. Used to have them all the time in the Forest of Dean.
Looks as if I NEED to buy more sunflower hearts Sorry Caroline

Lovely bird, donāt blame you for buying extra seeds! As for snowdrops, we used to have thousands too in our little woodland at our old home, but, to retire early meant downsizing and I donāt have room for thousands now so just concentrate on less but different

Hello.
I am still working through the box of card that I started at the beginning of the month. Iāve got everything ready to cut and stick and when Iām done thatāll be 82 cards made without buying anything!
Iāll also have sheets of card, inserts and sentiments left so rather than put that all back in the box Iām going to list it on a destash group on Facebook to see if someone will take it off my hands. Failing that Iāll take it to the charity shop and thatāll be half a box cleared. Shame thereās at least another 100 boxes to go - this is why I really donāt need to buy anything!
Lovely siskin Joy. We occasionally get parakeets and the odd sparrowhawk but mostly itās just sparrows, robins, wrens, tits and blackbirds here. Theyāre starting to sing much more now spring seems to be coming and itās lovely to hear the dawn chorus.
