Grr, I posted some stuff on ebay to help with debt clearing. One of the things I posted was a leather Radley dog - the ones that hang on Radley handbags. I'd purchased a Radley bag from an outlet store but as it was a second it had no tag. I bought a dog tag on ebay ages ago, but when it came I realised it wasn't the colour it looked like in the photos, so it didn't suit my bag. I therefore never used it, so was pleased I had something immaculate to sell.

I've had a message telling me that I can't sell it on ebay as it encourages fraud and telling me it counts against me in some way. My post apparently encouraged people to put this dog on their bag and counterfeit real Radley bags!

I feel like selling all my Radley stuff off in anger at being accused of encouraging fraud.

Sorry for the mini rant but I needed to get it off my chest!

Ebay is a bit silly - I cant sell on there because I dont have a landline...

Right better go get packed and dressed I suppose...have spent the last 20 mins trying to find out the number of this empty building I walk past every day...really think it would make the amazing hotel (huge though and way out of my realms) but was just dreaming about transforming it...can find it though will have to go look next time | walk past!!

Becky thats the sort of thing I do. There is a derelict house I walk past on the way to work which is massive and I love...wonder who owns it and why they aren't living in it or have not sold it?

Becky I do that too. Everytime I drive past Headingley girls school I think how awesome it'd be as an arts centre- space for visual artists, rehearsal rooms, space to do yoga classes and stuff. Just a resource centre really, since most new artists need room more than anything. In fact, me and my sister contacted the council about it but never heard anything back. It's been empty for over a year now, it could have done so much good in that time!

Semolina's in the oven, hopefully it'll turn out ok. I improvised on some of it (halving the ingredients, less sugar, and added fruits, almonds, spices), but my wrists were bad after stirring it on the hob and I twitched when I added the almonds vanilla essence, hope it's not poisonous in large quantities! It tasted ok when I licked the spoon after pouring it into the tin.

sounds lovely Ames...

Ames

Smells lovely too! Nearly done now.

Was a bit heavy on the fruit and nuts, but the rest of it was good, especially the skin, yum. Although I think next time I'll try it without the sugar at all, and have a go at doing it in the sc. Not bad for a first attempt though, and much nicer than the tinned stuff!

I tried my party dress on tonight guys, and it looked and felt amazing!
It does look bare without a simple necklace, I've got an antique marcasite necklace that was my Grandma's which goes perfectly :T :T

I'll post some pics this weekend.
