From Trash to Cash: Dribbling a river

Crafty_Toots

Ooo blueberry pancakes, damn woman, you've got me slavering now! Going to have to get my own little blueberry bush!!

Our strawbs got pinched last year by the birds, despite a made-it-ourselves cage we put around it, but we had a handful, soo juicy yummy scrummy, you can always tell the difference in taste. Remember if you get a strawb though, it's best not to let it fruit in it's first year....

haha lol, can't wait for the blueberries. My Dad has half of his garden overtaken by strawberries, he is going to pot me up some runners this year to go with the offerings of homemade strawberry jam, strawberry smoothies and strawberry cheesecake we usually get! Can you tell why he is DDs favourite? lol

Haha, sounds absolutely wonderful! My Dad and OH made jam the year before last, but it was cloud berries..... ewwww ..... I can't begin to describe the smell and let's just say the taste is definitely NOT for me!! Lol, they both loved it though!

Thanks for the mini move Jo *wave*, I think I'll make up lunch to take with me tomorrow, ended up going across to the shop at lunchtime today and spending money when there was really no need. x

Well, I think I'm going to spoil myself - off to snuggle up in bed with my hook and yarn and while away an hour before putting my head down. I'm so easily pleased! Anyone who likes the idea of crochet or creativity, if you haven't already take a look at Attic24 where the wonderful Lucy shares her creations with such joy and zest I can't help but be motivated!

She'll probably shoot me in the morning for saying so, but could any lurkers look out for Munchki this evening? She disappeared offline earlier and I've texted her, but not heard anything back. I think the up and down of emotions is getting the better of her just now (as she will freely admit, won't you hun?) so if she appears she may need to borrow a wee shoulder since mine will be tucked up in bed! Munchki, if you're in stealth mode, I'll talk to you tomorrow sweets, and remember, I'll be right there in 2 weeks time for red wine, cheese n biccies, shop till we drop, dribbling, crocheting fun!! xxx

Night night all, sleep tight!

Sorry not been on much. all a bit hectic here today. also had another migraine with visual disturbance again so heads a bit achy.
interestingly on looking up if sinusitis can trigger migraines as I usually only get about 1 a year; I found several documents stating that a huge percentage of sinus headaches are actually undiagnosed migraines and that with migraines you can get sinus area discomfort and congestion and not always the visual disturbances.
whenever I get a bad headache it always seems to end in sinus pain which I was thinking was a bit weird
I then looked up if sunlight can trigger migraines and it can. In summer on bright days I can get sudden debilitating headaches that are'nt sunstroke or dehydration and bring me close to tears sometimes lasting 24 hours or more. I have never thought of any of these as migraine related as not had visual disturbance with those headaches but maybe its all linked.
maybe not but perhaps worth getting checked out?
anyway will hang round a bit longer but off to bed soon.

Dilli - ouch!

Anyone turned into slimy snails yet?

I'm back on the night shift - today's been made of fail. Had planned to get out and be productive today, instead been recovering/catching up on sleep - haven't slept properly since before the election.

Added more cds to a future musicmagpie order, only for one to instantly sell on play, transfered money from my playtrade account to bank account - they take an extra 5% in transfer fees (bah), but less than I expected (yay - ish)

To do list for tomorrow (hopefully) -
post cd
cancel Oxfam standing order

re plants/recycling/wombling plastic bottles - before I get the scissors out and start some major decluttering, would the top halves of (large) water bottles be of any use to anyone?

Btw- there's a new survey on Pureprofile, if anyone else is a member.
