Now last one out tonight switch off the lights and empty the bin, we need to keep it clean as Haribo set it all out nice for us

New trainers today for me! well they are actually more like modern hiking shoes, well you know what I mean, half price -:T:T:T £22, am very happy as my trainers looked like the cat had dragged them in (:o) And good lord are they comfy, am wearing them in as we speak!

Didnt quite have enough spuds for tea so nipped out and tried to dig a couple up from where a plant had lingered - I sank like I was on Morecambe beach :eek: So I think my raised beds are now a sunken garden and I may have to make it a feature in next years garden plan!

Shiny new thread - seems appropriate given all the mending I've been doing recently!

Went to a boot sale for the first time in ages this morning. Got a hard back book I'd been after for 50p - page 51 had been folded down at the corner but it looks like the owner got no further as the book is otherwise pristine I remembered a poster recommending boot sales for candles so I kept an eye out for them and ended up with loads, plus candle holders, for the grand total of £2-50. Candles are a want not a need - except for emergency lights - so I was reluctant to pay out much even though I do love them so today's finds were perfect :T. Managed to resist the strawberries - I'm trying to stick to home grown/foraged fruit only - I might go OS at Christmas and treat myself to an orange :rotfl:

HM soup and bread for lunch and whoopsied pork pies and home grown salad for tea.

And a huge sigh of relief - I want to clean my settee cushion covers. I have scatter cushions in the same fabric so I put them on a wool wash and checked them today - still the same size - phew! So I can go ahead and wash the seat cushion covers. Will do it this week to get the dry weather.

Belt is tightened - might have something to do with the cinnamon fruit bread though!

ETA welcome delurkers and Greyhound Angel if you are mostly housetrained could you pop in and have a chat with my Charlie please?

Welcome :hello:

As there are loads of newbies and lurkers coming in I'm not going to welcome you all by name or I'll never get any painting done so consider yourselves delightedly welcomed and remember to wipe your feet on the way out. :cool:;):D

Hello yet another lurkin newbie, i have today found the strength to admit we cannot afford to run 2 cars and so with a heavy heart we are getting rid of our gas guzzling 4 door 2l vectra and keeping my tiny 3 door 1.2 clio that cost us £400.
With 3 kids i really railed against having such a small car as our only and main car but with already paying £60 per month insurance on the vectra and prices set to hike we just couldn't justify the cost.

So though it means an hours hike up two huge hills twice a day to get to school and back, i keep reminding myself of how fit i will be and how we can put the money towards our first foreign holidy in nearly 6 years.

Hope you are all well and managing to stay afloat xx

Shucks, I'm doubly hurt ... we're sensitive souls you know and does that include us ones with paws ? and is that before or after the door hits us on the way out :rotfl:
