I am hoping to rub down and re-paint a coat stand for the hall, I have to buy a small pot of scarlet paint for the top coat as I want a small splash of colour in my hall.Just waiting for a slightly cooler day as my conservatory is very hot at the moment .Just had a shower and my bathroom which is normally the coolest room in the house is registering 26.8 at 6.00 this morning even before my shower !!! the weathers gone mad :):)

ok this next coming week were are all off, well im still doing my evening shift but not the days apart from Saturday. I cant have much time off as I', self employed and don't get paid holidays so I'm working Saturday in the day and Wednesday and Thursday evening and the rest of the time I'm off :T

because we cant afford a holiday this year we are hoping to have a few day trips and we are cashing in all are loose coins to pay for it. Not sure where we are going yet tho, we have a voucher from warwick castle tho.

So im going to be busy but my challenges are to money save im TIL THE END OF AUGUST buy no magazines, fabric or use ebay. I shall not spend on luxuries and I will not even go into the charity shops. This month is purely buy what we need and that is all.
I also want to make Cornish pasties this week, trying a new recipe so hopefully they will be ok

Never mind about the pasties winniepooh. I really must learn to make proper gravy. I tried recently and it was vile, I threw it away and got out the Bisto. You aren't alone with cooking failures.
