Wow, thank you Han

Han wonderfully gave me a “You cheer my up” award.  Thank you so much….it’s cheered me up no end – up I found out I’d been having a horrid day.
I need to pass this on, but do want to do it rashly….so will be back in a mo with my nominations for it.
Thanks again Han [...]

The re-construction begins

Steve the lovely (and very goodlooking) Plasterer has been here for a couple of days now……..and slowly, but surely re-construction has started.
The downlighters have had to be pulled down from their position in the ceiling so that he could work, so it looks a bit space-ace with them just hanging there.  We’ve been trying not [...]

Oh…I am a bad, bad, bad girl

just got the whole of the Simon & Lola collection from Sugar Nellie.
Not really very good at this whole, keeping to a tight budget thing am I?
Anyhoo, if you fancy a look hop over to Funky Kits for a bit of a shop.

A little too much wine I’m afriad

and all I feel like is going to sleep.  We’ve just got back from the most scrumptious lunch at the White Dog Inn (Ewhurst Green) and now I find that the new Sugar Nellies will be on-line at 8 pm………..so I can’t go and have a nap in case I miss them.  Damn!
