Week #28

Welcome to my Week 29:

Week 29 in Birdie

Week 29 was quite quiet, managed to catch up on my reading, caught up with a gossip with one of my friends, and my partner took his son on his first ever nursery trip.

It also came out at the weekend that actor Cory Monteith has passed away, I'm a latecomer to Glee but that show is addictive. It is very sad news and at only 31.

Smudge's kittens are over 2 weeks old and getting huge, on Wednesday, it was very upsetting as we lost the last of Maggie's kittens and one of Smudge's so a very sad day for us all.

Thanks for tuning in

Week #27

Welcome to My Week 27:

Week 27

As you can see I am using 'Birdie' (An A5 planner from Paperchase), and I am using Paperchase inserts that came with the planner.

Last week was a busy week, I spent a lot of it covering at work, so it was nice Friday being able to catch up with my own work.

Our other cat Maggie gave birth to kittens on Wednesday, but we lost 1 which was quite upsetting, and on Sunday we lost another one of her kittens due to the heat, so we are doing as much as we can to keep them warm but not too warm.

Close Up of Saturday + Sunday

Sunday we went to see Newcastle Diamonds vs Sheffield Tigers, where we won 62-34.

Thanks for tuning in

Weekend Haul

This weekend I ended up going to both the Metro Centre and Teesside Park and got a great haul (a lot of items were on offer so grabbed a couple of bargains as well)

Staples - Metro Centre

I picked up some of staples own Sonix gel pens, I also grabbed an A5 notepad, Papermate Flexigrip elite (Black), and a papermate Inkjoy 550 in black.

Staples - Teesside Park

While we were at Teesside Park I had a nosy at the staples there to grab some more of the papermate flexigrip elite pens as they are fantastic to write with, I also stocked up on some Martha Stewart Tabs, colour coding labels, and thought I would try some other labels as well.

The Works - Metro Centre

I headed into The Works and found this tote bag (I've previously seen other bloggers using totes like this 1 and thought it might be a good idea. I also grabbed these sticky notes with little tabs on them thought these might come in handy in the future.

A5 Planner - Paperchase

While I was at the Metro Centre I just had to go in Paperchase and while I was in there I saw the planner above and thought it looked gorgeous so I had to grab it.

Deco Tape

I also found these tapes while in Paperchase and thought they would look good in my planner on the new pages.

Sticky Notes

I also found these sticky notes, the set in the tin I tried to order online but they stopped selling them so imagine my surprise when there they are in the store on the shelf.

A5 lined paper, roller stamps

 I also grabbed some A5 lined paper for 'Birdie' and I saw these roller stamps.

Paperchase Stickers

They also had a load of stickers on clearance so I had to grab some especially the camper vans

Toki Yoki

There is a store at the metro centre called Toki Yoki and they sell a lot of Japanese items I found a notebook and some stickers.

Hobbycraft haul

On Sunday we went to Hobbycraft, and I was able to pick up a load of sale items. I also grabbed some Christmas Stamps as well as deco tape ready for Christmas. I also managed to get a tub of pigment inks.

Stamp pads from the tub

As you can see I got quite a good range of colours from the tub, there where a couple of doubles but that's fine with me because if any run out at least I have spares.

Thanks for tuning in
