My Week #23

Welcome to My Week 23:

I bought an insert from WHSmith's that was 2 days a page (as you can see i've reverted back to Jack and Violet has been put back on the shelf for the time being)

Start of Week 23

The start of the week had me covering at work (which was absolutely manic and a baptism of fire I can tell ya)

Tues + Wed

Tuesday I had training regarding a new scheme that is coming in at work and most of it was spent catching up with the tivo box.

I bought some coloured flash cards from WHSmith's as well as I thought that they would look quite good in Jack and would be good when it came to things that needed to be done that week (due to the fact that they are bright you can't miss them)

Thurs + Friday

Thursday, I went to my friends to pick up my partylite order and we ended up chatting till 11pm lol. Friday I was invited out by another friend for a night out.

Saturday, was shopping for Father's Day, managed to get everything that I wanted and ended up spending a small fortune in Paperchase (see post).

Saturday (under the sticky note)

On Saturday morning me, my partner, and my stepson ended up watching Wreck-It Ralph (a really good film).

Sunday (Under the sticker)

Sunday, me and my partner ended up going to Newcastle to see the Speedway team the Newcastle Diamonds, they were against the Ipswich Witches. The match ended up being a draw.

Thanks for tuning in

Teesside park

I went to Teesside Park again at payday this month and you all know what that means Staples:-

Staples haul

I managed to get some more Martha Stewart coding labels, notebooks, a green frixion pen, and also some expressions scotch tape. I grabbed some bulldog clips that contain messages (Urgent, Copy, File, To Do) for work.

Hobbycraft

I also went to Hobbycraft where I got some scrapbook paper with a summery feel I also got some washi tape, smash books, ribbons (which were on sale for £1 each), ink pads, and some clear stamps.

WHSmith's

I also went to WHSmith's and grabbed a 2DPP, coloured record cards, fan thin pens, light blue frixion pen and the orange scotch expressions tape.

Thanks for tuning in

Rachel Caine signing

Yesterday I was lucky enough to meet Rachel Caine, Author of the Morganville series of books.

I got a copy of Fall of Night signed by the lady herself and she was nice enough to have her picture taken with me.

As we were all getting our books signed we also received a Morganville tote bag, a glow in the dark wristband saying 'Morganville Resident', and a Morganville ID card (quite cool, have placed this in Violet)










And here is me with the lady herself, she was a very nice lady, and can't wait to read the new book, (have just finished Ghost Town, and five books behind)

 Thanks for tuning in

Local stationery

Last weekend me and my partner had a look around our local town centre and I found some nifty things:

WHSmiths

I thought I would have a nosy in smithy's as I've not been in there for a while and found some mini Maped freewriter pens. I thought these would be brilliant for my work jacket.

Rymans

I also had a look in our local Rymans as I needed a pencil sharpener that had the 2 slots for my dry textliners.

I found the pencil sharpener, but I also found the Pilot Hi-Tec and thought I would give them a try (i don't normally play well with fine nibbed pens, I find them scratchy). I also found an eraser and some uniball pens which looked quite good.

Boyes

Now when you think of Boyes and stationery you sometimes think it can be naff, but once you get rid of the naff items you can find something good.
I found these Sarasa pens and thought I would give them a go and see how they wrote.
