Handy Tip

Things still haven't improved on the thumb front, but I can still just about use the computer.

I've been thinking a lot about this summer.  I have quite a few weddings and a few weekends away.  So using Polyvore, I've been looking at different outfits and putting things together for these trips.  I have even found a few that aren't pink!!  I've linked it to this blog now, so you should see some more come through!

Next month my car insurance is due for renewal and I was astonished at the differences in quotes.  My original renewal quote came through for £956 and as you can imagine I was horrified.  So I used one of those comparison websites and found one for £289!  A huge difference.  So I thought I'd ring my current company up and find out why there was such a huge difference.  The lady on the phone thought that it might be because I was still on their system as a student nurse.  I didn't think that would have made much difference, but when she recalculated my quote is jumped down to £450.  I still went with the £289, but there's a warning there, make sure you know what you do for a job!!

I have been thinking about using this blog for more than just my knitting patterns, which at the moment are few and far between, but unsure on what I can do with it.

Do I talk about the things that are important to me?  Do I tell people about what I have been doing?  Or should I recommend things that I like?  Well I think I am going to do a mixture of all three!  I do have very strong opinions and sometimes I get in trouble (mostly with my family), but I stick to my guns.  I have very definite ideas on what I like and will always recommend things that I think are worthwhile.

So for a new start to this blog (I will still post my patterns though!!)...

I think that sitting here with my broken thumb is making me think things over.  I can't do anything but read and watch tv, plus typing really slowly (which is something I'm not used to).  I have found a little outfit I would love:

My Night Out Outfit

Now that I have finally found a job that I love and getting paid I can afford the little luxuries I haven't been able to afford for the past three years.  So the thought of being able to go out and buy that outfit is very appealing.
