Its 19.00 + 5.00 for alterations and 14.00 for delivery

A dress made to my shape and size for only £48.00!

I have 200.00 to get me all the gifts i need plus some decorations. I have been making salt dough decorations all day and i hope they are ok after painting as my snowmen look awesome. i am proud of those.

Also went to the bank to put all my change in the bank. I put in 43.00 which is an achievement im impressed on how much change i had. Now to start over again saving the pennies.
