And so to October

So October has started.  And my “thirty completed projects” challenge has got off to a slow start as I haven’t finished anything today!  However, I have got the sewing room ready for concentrated activity which should start tomorrow and I have finished knitting a hat but haven’t got it sewn up yet.  The reason is simple – I need to press it before I sew it up and I don’t want to put the iron on for just the one very small job.  That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

The grocery challenge has been OK tomorrow.  I didn’t write anything yesterday but I bought a punnet of strawberries for £2.  I suspect these will be the last English strawberries I shall see this year.  That means that my carry-forward was £8.71 so with this month’s addition of £50 means I shall have £58.71.  And I haven’t spent any of it today!

I’m hoping my laptop will be back very soon so I can upload photographs of my finished projects.  That will keep me accountable!
