Been very busy this week but finally have a few days of repose - all 4 kids are staying at Nanny and poppy's for two nights *shock* My in laws truly are such help and the best!!
Most of today was spent cleaning, amazing what needs cleaning after kids leave, but I did pick up some new gorgeous glass beads on the way home for a new mobile!

Being thrify and scoring a bargain is all about compromise!
I like a good bargain....I can proudly say I never pay full price for anything and although it does take longer and more effort to hunt around its worth it to save those dollars.
One of my tips is a single word that needs to be in any thrifty shoppers vocabulary - 'Compromise'
All projects start with a vision, a vision that usually turns into something more like an obsession (well it does for me) LOL ....One of the things in my vision for my bedroom was a thick fluffy mink throw in a dark, royal shade of purple that would rest across my gliding rocker but do you think I could find one for a decent, thrifty price? Well yes if I thought that $50 or over was a decent thrifty price...hell no and so I kept looking around.
Yesterday I went to spotlight and found they had throw rugs for 50% off...now that's a bargain and so I practically ran down to the section with my vision flapping wildly behind me. Soft gorgeous throw rugs enthralled my fingers as I desperatly hunted for a purple color amid the shelves. I found one - gorgeous and spotty and it was purple but not a rich dark purple a lilac purple...lilac just won't work and it was a bit thinner than I wanted :(
Disappointed, yes but could my mind resist the massive savings - NO so I started looking at prices and found this thick, fluffy, super soft throw rug that was $40 reduced to $20....everything I wanted except that it was a rich, dark watermelon color. Such a bargain..........................and so I bought it, after all it would look great in the lounge room on the couch!
Coming home I felt good cos i got a great bargain yet my vision was halted once again.
And that's where the word 'Compromise' comes in....flinging it on the bed I realized it looked beautiful in the room and matched in just as good as a purple one would have!!!
And so my room is starting to come together, one piece of my vision has been altered but in a way that allowed me to keep money in my pocket and that was my main thread within my vision :)

My item list for 2010
Well I have a list of things I need for 2010 but putting them on paper is just ridiculous as I always lose it or the kids take it and draw on it LOL
Since majorly decluttering our house we are not buying anything that we don't need and 'NEED' in a big way........As our pledge to saving the planet we are going to consume less. And as our pledge to our wallets, lol, we are going to cut costs wherever we can.
So my list is (Of course it will be updated as I go)
Soft comfy rocking chair - for our bedroom so I can breast feed in comfort
New spare tyre - for car
Cane basket cabinet for towel storage in the hall
Laptop - upgrade as our laptop is 5 or so years old
Cot mattress
Outdoor play equipment - promised for Christmas but couldn't find the sets we wanted
Large outdoor picnic table with attached benches - necessary for our cleaning sanity

SQUEAL - Finished medieval bassinet pics
Finally finished my medieval style bassinet
Fit for a king I think....took me ages - I hand sewed the whole thing and made it up as I went along.
The whole corner of the room will be a medieval theme so when I'm finished I'll post a pic of the whole entire scene
So what do you think?
