new stationery

ok ok i know that if you you go into almost any supermarket there will be a back to school section with with all sorts of deals but if you want the best deal I suggest you look beyond the back to to school offers and read this:

top five ways to get the best, cheapest and most effective back to school stationary:


1.  never buy your stationery at a 99p store/ pound shop it will be useless and you will be replacing it all in 5 minutes

2.  before you hit the shops write a list of all the things you need

3.  look on line fist and work out exactly what your spending your money on eg at staples I could get 5 hb pencils for 50p at whsmiths I could get the exact same product for £1.50   3 times the price!!!!!!

4.  look at recycling some of last terms stuff too eg if you have an old grubby  rubber still  a decent size take another rubber or piece of paper and rub them together you  can get a perfect white new looking rubber again

5.  if or when buying a pencil case consider using a make up bag or small purse or hand making one

string dolls

coming out of school today and wandering over towards the opposite lesuire center i saw a new vending machine  selling strange things called string dolls i saw a girl from my school get one and her joy to find it looked like a ballenrina so i dug in my purse hoping for the best when i eventually found the right money i put it in the slot hoping for the best and the one i got washorrible it was yellow  and red with a button mouth so i thought i know im going to customize it. they are really cute and they can be found in shops aswell as vending machines and cost around £1 here are some pictures of dolls i found.
