Well, here we are, day 21 of the task - only a week left - blimey, it's gone by fast!

Sunday 13th Feb - drawing from 'iamconsumer' of 3 packets of crisps which are part of the Red Nose appeal (the Stephen Fry Up pack was absolutely disgusting according to my better half!), a box of dates (utterly delicious!), a bag of bananas, a punnet of reduced strawberries, a punnet of plum tomatoes, a box of breakfast cereal, a tub of cauldron moroccan veggie pate (amazing!), box of eggs, some scottish butter, a jar of raspberry jam, a bag of plain flour, a bag of icing sugar and a bag of granulated sugar - yes indeed, cooking fancy biscuits was on the menu - me and the mr made our very own scrumptious array of jammy dodgers!!!!!

Monday 14th Feb - it is St Valentine's Day!!! here is my card for my most wonderful other half xxx

Tuesday 15th Feb - drawing from 'iamconsumer' of a packet of Ainsley Harriot Bulgar Wheat at 89p, a can of soup at 69p, a tub of olives at £1.69, a tin of sherbet filled boiled sweets with Snoopy on it at 59p, a packet of toffy-ooze biscuits at 69p, a packet of 3 iced-fruit slices at 99p (which we took to Plan B and shared with Tom over coffee and book perusing - if you like comic books, then you'll love Plan B - check it out!) and a black and white film at £6.29

Wednesday 16th Feb - a drawing from 'iamconsumer' of a pint of milk

Thursday 17th Feb - a drawing from 'iamconsumer' of 2 pints of milk, a packet of washing powder, a packet of 6 rolls of toilet tissue and a can of tuna for my kitty-cats!

Friday 18th Feb - drawing from 'iamconsumer' of a packet of crackers and a packet of tea biscuits (I was very hungry when i sat down to draw them, hence the poor quality drawing, sorry!)

Saturday 19th Feb - drawing from 'iamconsumer' of a large vanilla steamer from Tinderbox on Ingram Street - although the drink was indeed vanilla flavour, it was disappointingly not steaming, far from it in fact, it was pretty luke warm and therefore not worth £2.40!

Sunday 20th Feb - catty looking girl...

Monday 21st Feb - drawing from 'iamconsumer' of some olay face awakening cream (it's got mint in it, so it does king of slap your face awake in the morning weirdly enough!), some chinese tea, some thai veggie spring rolls and some spicy vegetable and noodle dish (this was sooooooooo tasty this meal from a place called four seasons on cambridge street - go! it's good value too - this came to about £8 i think)

hey hey hey, how good was last night?!!

well, if you were at the opening at Market Gallery for Telling Stories i hope you enjoyed it as much as i did - even though it was really really busy, hot and sweaty!

it was so good to see so many friendly lovely shiny faces of folk i know, but also incredibly cool to actually meet Victoria Evans who organised the 28 drawings later escapade that this blog entry and the previous 2 are focused on - oh yeah!

so, here as a 'catch-up-penny' session is my past 5 days work {uh-oh, slipping into a 'big' catch-up there due to exhibition opening last night - it's my story and i'm sicking to it!}....

Thursday 10th Feb - oh man, i just realised that since i started a new journal for 'iamconsumer' on 7th Feb all my dates have been wrong coz i have consistently written Jan instead of Feb - whoops! ocht well, not to worry...let's see, 10th of Feb consists of one seeded finger-roll at 37p...

Friday 11th Feb - drawing from 'iamconsumer' of a pot of carrot & coriander soup £1.29, a cheese roll 31p, a galaxy chocolate bar 59p (i pretty much never buy chocolate bars for myself, it's weird, i just took a notion, even though i balked at the price - jeesoh!), a can of ginger beer £1.30, a can of mango juice £1.30, a box of kitty biscuits £1.25, pack of six cans of cat food £3.96, one refried bean & cheese taco £1.49 and one butternut squash quesadilla £4.99....

Tuesday 1st Feb - a drawing of my 3 kitty-cats looking every-bit the mob of gangstas that they are!

Wednesday 2nd Feb - a drawing from 'iamconsumer' which shows a box of plasters (as i really ripped my heels of in my boots- i'm too used to trainers, my poor wee feet can't cope with real shoes!), a box of surf washing tablets, two A4 frames which were 2for1 at Boots and some flowers (anemones and roses) for my mum's birthday!!!

Thursday 3rd Feb - a drawing of my favourite christmas present - which as you can see is a robin shaped cup - it looks hilarious on top of my telly with my weirdly deformed googly-eyed cactus sticking out of it - it makes me smile!!!

Friday 4th Feb - a drawing from 'iamconsumer' which shows a packet of go-ahead! biscuits, a carton of tomato and basil soup (YUM! all gone now - consumed entirely!), a packet of pitta bread, a pint of semi-skimmed milk and a packet of coffee biscuits (which were only 50p! - bargain!)
