The Sunday Creative ~ Prompt 3

This week's prompt over at Madeline's 'The Sunday Creative' was:

CONNECT

So, what do I photograph, that is the question? As I sit here with my feet up due to a leg infection, feeling cut off from the world I look at my computer and get a eureka moment. All my family and friends can be connected via 6 things: Facebook, E-mail, UKScrappers, Phone calls, Texts and (the one I didn't photograph) Blogging. Here's my photograph anyway:

Thanks for looking. Take care

Love, Sarah C xx

29th September

29th September I learnt that:

1) I need to put extra money aside for the things that should cost 'not a lot'. The lamp I'm having made is going to cost a little more than first thought, but still a really good price and much cheaper than buying one off the shelf. Thank goodness for having a friend that can do stuff like this so there's hardly any labour costs.

2) once I start sorting out things, it leads to other things and seems never ending.

3) I can do a shop in Morrisons and not spend too much. About time too!

Love and hugs, Sarah C xx

23rd September

23rd September I learnt that:

1) the kindness of friends is amazing. I came home from the jobcentre today to find some beautiful yellow roses with lovely touching words on the card.

2) it helps to organise early especially if you need to internet shop.

3) it is possible for me to go to town for an appointment and not be tempted by the cheap shops.

4) my new tablets make me so hungry.

Love and hugs, Sarah C xx

10th September

Still no LO, sorry :(

10th September I learnt that:

1) it's nice to catch up with people on the phone.

2) the sun being out makes you feel happier

3) I need to work out how to weld pictures to shapes on my ROBO

4) I can handle slightly stronger coffee than I did a few days ago and much stronger than the really weak coffee I had to have a few months ago.

Love and hugs, Sarah C xx

6th September

Day 5's LO. Photo of some fruit going in the space. Journalling reads "it's ok getting 'treat' fruit reduced in price, but it should be eaten before it goes off."

6th September I learnt that:

1) sometimes people aren't the people you thought they were.

2) I spend far too long on Facebook, especially playing games and farming. I MUST NOT get into more 'reality' things like this and said I wasn't going to 'get into' Facebook full stop!!! Hmmm.....

3) it is possible to go shopping for fresh bits and not let anything else jump in your trolley. It helps having a shopping list though.

4) life can be lonely. I actually knew this already, it's just true of today and it's like learning the lesson over again! :(

5) I sometimes need to be more patient and understanding with others as David often is with me.

6) I can listen (and sing along) to 'Dance With My Father' and 'Careless Whisper' without bawling my eyes out at last.

Love and hugs, Sarah C xx

5th September

Day 4's LO. There will be a photo of the e-card I was sent in the space. Journalling reads "it's nice to wake up to a friendly and inspiring e-mail when the day before was quite rotten":

5th September, I learnt that:

1) washing does not do itself.

2) neither do other chores.

3) I get excited when a bag of ribbon drops through my letterbox. Watch my regular craft blog at the beginning of next month for my Ribbon Mad Guest DT LO.

4) if I start feeling sleepy while I'm watching TV, I should get up and do something rather than fall asleep.

5) it's ok getting 'treat' fruit reduced in price, but it should be eaten before it goes off or it's money wasted.

Love and hugs, Sarah C xx

4th September

Day 3's LO. (Space left for possible photo again.) Journalling reads "I've learnt that good friends are priceless":

4th September I learnt that:

1) it's really nice to wake up to a friendly and inspiring e-mail when the day before was quite rotten

2) time sometimes does go slow if you need it to as I did this afternoon when filling in an application form that had to be back pronto.

3) when you think you're too late arriving at the bus stop and get a lift to another one a couple of villages away, chances are the bus was late and you could've waited after all.

4) I still don't like waiting at bus stops or going shopping on my own

5) I can go into a shop to get ribbon for my LSNED album and come out with only that

6) it's near impossible to buy 'dirty' 'grungy' orange ribbon. It's nearly all shiny and bright.

7) there is; at last, a washing up liquid that doesn't bring me out in a rash.

8) it's quicker (and cleaner) washing up than cooking. How many days can I persuade David to cook? He's done it the last two days, so we'll see :D
