The beading course in Nottingham was great. Next time, and i hope that there will be a next time, i would probably catch the train from Tamworth instead as it would save me about 30 mins. That doesn't sound like a lot, but after a long day and you are just dying to get home it makes a big difference.

I got the tram from the train station which meant that it was really easy to get to the shop. The shop is really nice, all purple and blonde wood, with a lovely light workshop room above the shop. The instructor, Natalie was nice (a bit of a biscuit fiend!) and showed me a little of the beadlook work, which i would love to do next. I now feel quite confident that i could make basic earrings and necklaces.

My budget is completely shot to pieces. It's mainly to do with the car costing so much to keep going. Next month i will have OU fees to pay too, i do wonder if this might have to be my last year, as i simply may not be able to afford to do much more.
