Princesskitty where were you when I couldn't find my words? Yes that's exactly what I meant - I'm no angel. So glad we've got that out of the way xxx
Drops of Jupiter that is exactly something I would do, I'm always falling- much to DHs embarrassment ! I need to dedicate a week to browse through every bodies Pintrest ooooh I love it
Hanley oh my word I thought it was bad yesterday! We've still had none, little flurries but nothing sticking. Our footy game was on but it's way way too cold for DH so we are listening to it on the radio. Nowhere near as much fun but much warmer.
Linky I'm glad to see you out of that tree! DH and I have always dreamt of having a camper van, hold onto it if you can Not long till your hols now is it- getting excited
Feisty your MiL would be heartbroken to know you were vegan and ate her spaghetti Bol out of politeness then suffered. What are you like? Hope you are feeling better very soon xxx
Moneysavingmumofone the thing is I wasn't even feeling low, I just panicked thinking everybody has the wrong idea, then I got into a right tizzy and blundered my way through it. Anyway Princesskitty got it in a nutshell

How long can I stay off Pinterest ? This is the question. xxx

Yes I have got off the tree. It was giving me a headache. Why did people never use the name they were born with ? Why did their parents call them William John, then call them Jake all their life ? :mad:

Our camper isn't that posh. It is a folding camper, half caravan and half tent. I just went on-line to find a picture of one and (drum roll)
FOUND MINE :eek: being used on a site as an example of that years make. My camper is famous.:rotfl:

I will now bore you with some pictures. Please ignore the curtains. I took them down the minute I bought it. They are now peach, with matching inner bed pods.:)




Picture taken from doorway. Dining table which folds down to make 3rd double bed.


The middle cupboard under the sink is now a fridge, and the end cupboard opposite it is now the freezer. This is the area I have made the curtain to section off, where we put the loo at night. We also wash there if not using the camp showers.


The cupboard on the right is now a mini oven on top of a microwave.

I have laid a new floor and made a new pelmet for it. All the electrics have been renewed. The new curtains go all the way around, so the bed are enclosed at night. The pods inside them also zip up.

When you are not using it, the beds slide in and roof comes down.

She is called Mumu. One of my best friends said it reminded her of an old icecream van. (Its the stripes). And as anyone my age will know, they went to mumu land in an icecream van. :rotfl:

Omo that is awesome! Get you and your famous camper

Nana, I know she would but I just couldn't bring myself to tell her plus I actually believe meat should be consumed, just want it ethically raised and slaughtered. If the animal had been killed for my plate and it was wasted I could never forgive myself.

Evening,
FEISTY hope you are feeling a bit better
NANAMIA dont be embarrassed, i know you have cheered me up lots of times on here, and there is no way you would be fishing for compliments
OMO i love the campervan, you are so practical, i would love to be like that, thankyou for pinterest links
HANLEY that is some serious snow, we woke up to it this morning, thick and fast but by this afternoon it had disappeared
PRINCESSKITTY thanks for that re: B&M i looked up online and see there is one coming to basingstoke next week too, so i will be spoilt for choice as i am in the middle of both towns

Thanks everyone for Pinterest, have been pinning ideas today

Nanamia

Linky wow I love it ooh and the work you've put in. Go girl.

Feisty please tell your MiL before your next visit? We don't want it making you poorly:( or messing up TTC. She will understand

Trendyjenny argh that'd be the life:)

Way to cold for DH at the footy and blow me don't they go and win, I'm sure they should pay us not to go they might win more often.
Finished the cake, delivered it this morning (and a made a card for them too- last minute I'd forgotten DN had asked for one!) DSiL came for coffee not even using her stick she's such a superstar isn't she, physio are hoping to sign her off this week she is amazing. Gave her a ring this evening to see if she fancied a trip to the cinema (was trying to think what we could do that didn't need her walking much) and she said she'd love to come:) Last time she went to the cinema she went to see Titanic ha. So nice little adventure planned for Wednesday (orange Wednesday tickets)

Hoping to do a little more in DGDs bedroom tomorrow, needs to be ready and fume free for Friday when she's having a sleep over xxx

Nanamia

Freespirit our posts must have crossed. Was just thinking about you, it's been such a quick week since your DDs birthday bake off!
Thanks for those kind words I just got in a tizzy! Nothing new there really:)
What have you planned for tomorrow - as well as keeping warm! xxx

I have just realised that if you have never been in a folding camper you will have no idea what a sleeping pod looks like. I have taken a picture from another camper to show you. This one is cream and green, where as mine is cream and peach. My peach bit is solid with very small flowers on it. It is a bit Cath Kidson. But the principle is the same.



The front rolls down and can be zipped up. I also have matching curtains that you can pull over it.
They make the end beds very cosy.

Night all. xx
