ChrissyG I am hyperventilating at the pic. I'd looooooooove one, too.
Although l agree that it would be nice to have something frivolous, maybe alittle something frilly and femmy !
Heads up on the Wilco sale, it went to 75% this morning. I got stuff for the men, and gift tags, and a lovely stags head thermometer for the greenhouse. (the greenhouse will love it!)
Now l will stop looking for bargains as almost all the grown ups are sorted.

Love the Vegtrug looks fab!

I'm so excited, I am finally doing something for me. Going back to Roller Derby! My OH thinks Im too old and mums don't so that sort of thing :-(. It will be hard as its on the same night as daughters dancing and Sunday's when DD often has dance comps. But not every week.
I want to do it to get fit, have fun and meet folk. I love skating and not shy to getting shoved around bought some 2nd hand skates today :j

love the vegtrug too!

popped into our wilkos this am its still 50% off i bet they changed it when we left lol (i want to grab their baubles lol) shall pop in tomorrow with cross fingers.

sat and designed and made my step brother a 30th bday card this afternoon.



I've also made them a papercut but think its more for his wife really lol even though its a wedding one. Shall have to hunt out a cheapy pressie. Don't usually get him anything but he's going to be down on his actual bday so would look a bit odd if i didn't lol.

Still waiting on boots to despatch my items grrr lots who had ordered after me have had theirs delivered already.

Really love the vegtrug Chrissy G.

I think it is a personal thing. For me I'd rather have a practical gift like the vegtrug that will be used frequently, than a frivolous something that it likely to get used once or twice and live its life in the back of a cupboard ... unless it is a nice piece of jewellery

So if the vegtrug is what floats your boat, then I think that is what you should ask for. And given the cost, it is probably not something you would buy for yourself, or get given as a gift on any other occasion.

Hello! My mum has been staying the last few days so I haven't really had a chance to post.

msgigglewick i'm very sorry to hear the passing of you dad and that you never had a reconciliation. I don't know the details and don't like to presume, but I suppose it is good to know that he did love you. My relationship with my dad hangs by a thread sometimes and I worry that I may feel bad not making more effort before he eventually passes, but it's very difficult to do emotionally most of the time.

CHRISSY love that veg trug! I'd love something like that as our soil is full of stones.

newthrift love the colour scheme you're thinking of! We had dusky pinks and soft greys. Ooooh so exciting!!

I have made another recipe as part of my new years resolution from my Nigella Bites cook book - some Welsh rarebit muffins. Unfortunately I don't think they turned out as they should and the mixture made quite a few! Luckily I think DH is making his way through them!

Well it's Christmas again for me today! Normally over Christmas we get together with DH's parents, two brothers and their families, however everyone was ill at some point over Christmas so it didn't happen. DH's mum is making a Christmas dinner today so we're going up there to stay for the night. There won't be any presents or decorations but a good feast! :j

Hope you all have a great weekend. x
