    Vibes on their way Teapot.

    Not been around much because I have been feeling Meh! I have been doing work in dribs and drabs so stuff is being sorted, crated or charity shopped. Signed on on Friday and came away with a whole raft of jobs to apply for so that is a job for tomorrow.

    Yesterday I took the car for a spin as it hasnt had a run out for a while and went to Droitwich to the farmers' market. I don't know what I was expecting but I wasn't expecting 6 stalls:( I did see someone I know from networking selling her homemade porridge, muselis and seeds and she knocked 50p off the price of a bag of posh museli (this is going to be my treat to me), I also picked up a loaf of onion & cheese bread and half a dozen free range eggs. I then nipped into the bargainous shop mum told me about called Bargain Food. Bargain Food saved me some money and I came out with a large pot of bisto gravy granules (sometimes I use these for quickness as opposed to making real gravy), a bag of frozen cabbage (Cream of the Crop - I know this is a good brand as they were recommended to me), a pack containing 3 sachets of Birds Dream Topping (I have been hankering for ages) and a pack containing 3 sachets of Birds Custard which have gone in the store cupboard.

    I also discovered that my soon to be ex hubby has changed the locks although he did say that the lock wore out and I haven't been home to pick up a key. I have been unable to collect my birthday cards:( I need to speak to him about a d i v o r c e anyway so will have to do that this coming weekend. I need to retrieve furniture too e.g my grandma's dining table (this was owned by my great great great grandfather), my grandma's tall chest of drawers, her dressing table, the coffee table which was made by my grandfather, the octagonal table which also came from my grandfather and the 1960's spinny chair that came from my parents which has been sitting in my bedroom since I was 12. I also need to collect my records, my antique spoons, some other fiddly antique bits that I have collected and my painting (if all else fails I could sell that and get around £900 for it). I don't want or need anything else just what is mine - he can keep the house as I have no interest in it whatsoever.

    I need to see if I can get onto the Matrix - I have been getting an error message so will see if I can manage it.

    Mrs Hicks - love and light coming your way too x


    Woohoo, I've just cleared out DD's craft cupboard, just how many crayons does one person need? Think I need to donate some to playgroups. I've also got some lovely colouring books and sticker books to pass on to a friend who childminds lots of girls and has boys herself, so she likes getting pink/fairy things from us :) Probably about 1/3 of the stuff in there has now gone, and I wonder how long it'll be before it gets messy again........usually less than a day!
