Morning everyone,

went to Stratford on Avon yesterday with dd and guess what they have an all year round Christmas shop.!!
So I had to just pop in didn't I? although I wasn't tempted by anything it smelt like Christmas

mrs-moneypenny

betsie theres a shop in sheringham that has a room full of christmas deccys all year rounnd. i go there during my summer hols and its feels really funny stepping out of that into a street full of sunshine and holiday makers

while in tesco's earlier i saw that they sell tins of spinach i wondered if they were any good to anyone doing a hamper for a body builder type (think popeye and his spinach)

Today's quote

Thankyou mandco!

mrs-moneypenny - not tried the tins of spinach but might be worth putting in just for the laughs anyway ... I'd imagine it's ok though, can't really see how they could go wrong with spinach...

I have bought a sewing machine off FB for £15 still in the box. :D

It doesn't come with instructions but I'm sure I can download some. I know most machines are similar, but this one is touch screen ( no dial). I will have a play over the weekend then run up DD's curtains and cushion covers.
Once I have done this I promise I will take pics. It all looks very nice, but just not finished.

I also picked Fingers up a quad bike in his size for £10. It's a little police bike with blue flashing lights. The big one is going in storage for a while ( in the old greenhouse) I am not green fingered in the slightest, so at least it will be used for something. :rotfl:

Wow OMO, your Facebook bargains are amazing!

mrsinvisible

OMO well done on the sewing machine, well done on the quad bike(s) and how true is that quote?
Mandco, a broken bone and hours in A&E are a son's rite of passage!! seriously, hope he is ok and not in any pain from it.
Back to Gypsy clinic with fave cous today, so a little window shopping is in order, and we can have a coffee for free as we each have a token card for one.
It may not be a NSD trip, though, as I need a wedding congrats card for my nephew and bride, and I can't find the one I KNOW I have somewhere in this midden.
I have put the plants from the greenhouse out to harden off and now I need to start filling tubs and baskets, to fulfil orders and then to brighten up the Towers.
Nev-the-shred has made a start on the foundation for the new greenhouse and will become my favourite person until it is complete! (well, I mean, you have to flatter a little, don'tcha?)
Hope it is a good day for everyone, xxx
