I have a new journal.
I picked up a spiral-bound, graph-paper notebook from the charity shop. Its cover and companion pen told me that it was a freebie from a medical conference or something of the sort. While my favourite journals have blank paper, the second best option is graph paper so at least I can write sideways on the lines, if not at an angle. Spiralbounds are always a bonus too!

like it! Sorry can think of anything more constructive. lol.
Do you have Wilkinson’s up there? They sell what contact paper/fablon stuff for about 50p a meter or something. If not Wilko’s, then try a stationary shop–its cheaper there than the market Fablon stuff.
I think we do have a wilkinson’s…at least the name is vaguely familiar as a brand.
I managed to get some packaging tape from a moving company- I walked by the window and saw clear tape. I’ll check out wilkinson’s too- thanks!
No we dont have a Wilkos up here, only a Pound Stretcher. Very similar.
