oh my goodness, it has a bid!

I am currently making the pdf for the coin purse although can't scan in until tomorrow as my neck is so stiff I have to move my body to turn, so not fit to drive

I need a name for my "shop" so I can make up some business cards for the craft fair. Can anyone think of a nice name? I'm a bit stuck

Get well soon. Think I'll wait for the washer to finish and then head to bed and read. This washer takes forever. We'll have to get a better one at some point (working in making detergents, I know a bit about how much a good washer helps) the fact that a "quick" cycle is anything but quick is infuriating me, a quick cycle should be 30-45 minutes now the 2 hours + this one does, ugh such a waste of electricity and water. Ah well. One day I'll have the Miele I dream of *sad* :rotfl:

InLaws just phoned to say he hasn't been transferred hospitals yet (they needed to move him from surgery hospital to actual main hospital) so no doubt he'll stay at the smaller one tonight.

Think I'll make a hot water bottle to warm the bed up.

I know I thought that too :rotfl: she threw away good money :eek::rotfl:

I always liked the name Fabric Fancies, but never made anything out of fabric to use it kind of reminded me of those Mr Kipl*ng Fondant Fancies and their pretty colours

At the time I threw away far more money to solicitors and banks for fees. you don't even want to know I should probably add it all up at some point but I think I'm actually scared to.

Mortgage fee was £995 on its own.

Washer is making funny noises and I just had to force it to drain and respin clothes. Why it had to do this on the actual clothes and not on the towels where I don't care I have no idea.

Oh and one of the kitchen lights blew earlier. Just want to go to bed but don't want to leave clothes in the washer over night or they'll go musty smelling. *sigh*

Kerri, have you had treatment for your neck? The same thing happened to me 5 years ago and I've never fully recovered.

Hiya

I haven’t posted much on this so far, so thought I’dshare a recipe as I noticed someone posted a recipe for lentil curry in a slowcooker. Also, I’ve been inspired bythose buying veg etc and although I can’t do this, I do have a sunny windowsilland althoguh I can’t do it in the winter, the last couple of months haveprovided enough sunshine to grow mint, basil and thyme. The basil was only 50p in Asda last week andis delicious in pasta with pesto. Iguess the soup is roasted pepper soup, but I just used what I had in andimprovised – I do think roasting the veg and the fresh herbs made a bigdifference to the flavour and OH said it’s the best soup I’ve ever made!

1 packet cheap supermarket brand passata
½ onion
3 cloves garlic
3 peppers
Olive oil to drizzle over
2 tsp sugar
Pinch of chilli flakes
Stock made with 3 veg stock cubes (slow cooker I haveis for 3-4 people so I made stock and then topped up with more hot water)
Fresh basil leaves – handful (rinsed)
Fresh thyme leaves – large handful (rinsed)
Salt and pepper

Chop garlic, onionand peppers and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 15 mins or until tender.
Put passata and sugarinto slow cooker and stir. Add stock, roastedveg, chilli flakes, thyme and basil and stir.
Cook on high for 10mins (to ensure passata is heated up too).
Turn to slow for 35mins.
Liquidise soup andadd salt and pepper.

Serve!

:A Thank you so much, this recipe sounds scrummy and will be great once my veggies and herbs grow xxx

I will catch up with everyone in a bit

But I need to tell you this weeks mini challenge: Spring Clean
Clear out those cobwebs, dust down the bookshelves, wipe out those cupboards spring is upon us and we need sparkly homes for our sparkly smiles I'd try this in a methodical one cupboard at a time approach as it can be quite daunting, although I am known for just pulling everything off then running out of time and having to sleep in a big pile of mess haha! You might even uncover some fleabay gems whilst you're at it.

Can I try this one tree stump at a time??? :rotfl: I've managed to recruit my youngest sister to help me tomorrow so who knows what will happen!!!

Sunday is definitely my spring clean day as I want to clear my room out again plus my youngest sisters old room where I am currently storing all my furniture and boxes of stuff from when I moved from my apartment. There is ooooooodles of stuff I can sell (I can feel the excitement from Jakes-mum as I write this :rotfl:)

BTW, are you still loving your bed? No more stiff necks from slipping off your pillows? xxx

Morning all! I hope everyone had a good Easter. I haven't been able to catch up on all the posts just yet as I'm supposed to be working! Fortunately there's nobody in the office to notice me sneaking on here.

No more debt busting either, and I just had to pay out £200 for train tickets home for the next three months :eek:, but I don't mind too much as that is approx the same as diesel would have cost if I still had the car.

Could be an expensive weekend tho, I'm back at mums in Merseyside again, and those who follow sport will know what that means! (For those who don't, it is the Grand National horse racing at Aintree and a Merseyside derby in the FA Cup.) That means that Saturday will be in the pub watching football, followed by back to my aunt's house for the racing. Looks like there'll be around 20 folk in the pub, going up to 40ish back at the house. I'm planning on £10 for drinks in the pub (its well cheaper up North), and betting money of £20 on the horse racing. I know it is £30 which could go on debt, but I'm happy to have a week of NSDs to cover the cost.

Also, went with my sis for her Leaver's Ball dress. My MSE magic clearly helped, as her dress was in a 20% sale which we didn't even know about, and the shoes were on sale at £14! So a total outfit for £102 :T. And she looks stunning (tho that probs has less to do with the dress and something to do with being 5'10", size 8 with bright blue eyes and dark hair).

Finally (sorry for the long post), thanks Kerri for the challenge this week - I'm hoping to move at the end of June and really need to get rid of some of the carp I've been keeping hold of "just in case". My own personal mission at the moment is to get enough swag*bucks to cover father's day presents and my sister's birthday, all in June.

Awwww you are such a lovely sister buying her such a lovely outfit hun :A

Are you excited by your move? xxx
