Travel Motel Goodies

So although I'm loving this new minimalish-kind of-me I am still big on the consumable freebies!

This week I'm travelling with work and I've intended to get the best kind of freebies that can be used up and don't take up space.

First we have the classic toiletries:

Check them out! Bath salts AND one had a quick read and they appear good for the environment, the best kind.

Next we have the tea and coffee haul, a classic. Along with cookies and a cereal bar from the airplane, a bonus. I only take what I will use (I.e coffee and hot chocolate - if I haven't drank them first!):

Finally we have a bonus motel special. a CARTON OF MILK AND MAGAZINES. I'm new to the milk and magazines but I'm loving it!!! Milk will be drunk with the coffee but in saving the magazines for the plane!!!

Got to take the small wins when we get them!

Friday work freebies

I hope everyone had a good Saturday! I had a fab day with friends and then later my friend gave me a bunch if gifts - for no reason!!! How amazing is that?!?! It might seem like I get gifts all the time but I do do not! There was SO much that I will do a post later dedicated to them.

What has the weather been like? This morning I put all my washing out to try and get it dry (heating has been turned off as we had a HUGE heating bill last month), then it, all of a sudden, it starts POURING with rain. Here is a picture of the glorious morning and then rotten afternoon:

So on Friday, I managed to wangle some office style freebies from my work. GOING FOR FREE - ERM I'LL TAKE IT!! 

Got me a full packet of coloured paper (ordered accidentally instead of card, apparently) along with a small stash of white printable card. Think I'm going to use here to try card making. Although the printable card, as it is printable, it's pretty thin, so no very sturdy. But I'll give it a try! 

Also got some more brown paper (roll), in a box that was to get chucked (someone who had left ). So I took it before it got the bin!! 

This is thin wrapping brown paper, I love using brown paper to wrap gifts then cover with a nice coloured ribbon! Or even black. I do that for my wedding gifts as I think it makes it look so expensive, and classic, yet it is usually cheaper than normal wrapping paper!!

Right, Mrs Mars and I are off out for the day! Then I will google some card ideas to try! Free card/paper = free birthday cards! Sounds good to me!
