I AM SOOOOOO NAUGHTY

I an so naughty and to be honest embarrressed yes i am..why?

well i have to admit i have boguth one of these


and one of these.. for making welsh cakes etc.



and the most embarassing one ...i bought a doughnut maker last year.. and i dont know where it is ..and i have never used them....

silly or what....so i think its about time i used them...


ooooooo ye i nearly forgot...

look what i got today.....hehehehehe.. hubby has just gone up the unit to get it for me as it is soooooo heavy... handmade a bit 'rustic' so to speak.. but hay a lick of paint.. and a few shabby chic bits.. will work wonders...


oooooo ye.. that is not thunder and lightening happening.. its hubby's reaction to the unit when he see's it......lol...

have a nose you know you want to!!!!!!

as its quiet on the old raising funds for my saving pot, i thought i would enlighten you on what i do for a living...well that is what i do for work, dont actually have a wage yet..lol..

I have turned my hobby of collecting/selling vintage clothing into a business, which has now ended up me recycling, buying/selling textiles...clothing... shoes and handbags. Its very hard work, and now after a year it is starting to come together.

here are some pics of my unit.. where it all happens

First of all here is my 'office space' where i try and drum up business and speak to all you lot on the shabby chic forum



here is a pile of bags ready to be sorted the bales are full of clothes to ready to be sorted



and here are some of the nice things i find






and here is a pic of some the bags ready to go after being sorted



at not forgetting the smelly shoes.. which this pic is all singles... no pairs amoungst them.....lol... but done worry they will be bagged and recycled.

hi caroline look away now... dont look any further.... pitty there wasnt smelly cybervision.. as this would def be the time to put a nice old dolly clothes peg on your nose



So there you have it a nice little nose into my unit on this very wet and cold start to september....

and teh award for the most boring blog goes to .......

yep ME.... i must have the most boring blog in the world... not many photos... no sense of humour.. and basically just a bloody boring read....

so i have awarded myself a the most boring blog in the world title.

as for an acceptance speach....mmmmmmmm well. there isnt going to be one as i will bore you all to tears...and lets face it with the flipping british summer being a total wash out.. the kids bored out of their brains... and they cant wait to go back to school;, just for something to do ( which is a flipping first in our coop...lol.) you dont need another thing to bore you...

even a game of eye spy on my blog will be exciting.....ooooo hang on a minute.... now there's a thought..... a game of eye spy on the internet.... i wonder if that has been done before.... it probibly has....lol....


right going now as i am even boring myself now.. with all my flipping boring waffle.... i am going to waffle off now to work..i have had some lovely things in work... so if i got any energy left later i will psot some pics.. of some of the things that have come in....

but done worry i wont show any pics of the smelly stuff that comes in...

lets get ready to rumble

well what i mean is... from sept 1st we are starting a monthly gorcery challenge. to try and keep or reduce our shopping budget.. this is going to be great for me, to try and keep me forcused, and to try and save some pennies..and to stop ALL un-necessary spending.. ..

I know i use a lot of money off coupons when i can, but to be honest every though this is great and have kept food on the table in very desperate times when money has been non-exisitant. i really do need to get back to reality and realise one day i am not going to be able to rely on them, as the supermarkets have put a stop to it all...

so from now on a stick to my budget....and if i do use money off coupons its not fro extra things etc...what i mean is if, when i work out my new weekly/monthly grocery budget.. thats what i shop to..i know i am confusing lol.... but i know waht i mean...( I THINK)

I am going to use old cookery books to try and get some ideas for cheap meals.. and one book i do love for using up left overs is a book called we'll eat again, its a book with some recipes from world war II,, and its great for using up left overs. I must admit i do wonder sometimes as we are so used to having abundance of food in the supermarkets, how would we cope if we were in the situation that our parents and grandparents were in during the war time, we are in such a throw away soicety and food is a huge part of this too.

money from old scrap...

just a quicky to say hubby weighed in some scrap fpr me today and got £46 for a few bits. so this is going straight into the daydream fund. along with some postal orders i have got from some ebay sales.

so now my total is £615.09 now i really do need to go start making money to hit my target of 2k by christmas.

need to get back on track

had a great time at the bulldog bash, but really do need to get back on track now and get forcussed again on my day dream, as i must admit i have been sooo busy since i have got back with work. its sunday today and i am off to work again to try and do some sorting out of the textiles, i had my step-father and hubby helping me yesturday, and today my motehr and step-father are helping again. it does save me alot of money as i dont have to pay someone..lol.. so hopefully when i got surplus cash flow money i can add this to my fund.

a bit of sad news..... one of the chicks ( white one ) and one of the ducklings have sadly died. last week, i just found them in the coop. really did put me on a downer for a while. but i will just have to get back to getting used to it.

this week i have got to try and get my butt into gear and make chtuney out of my rhuburb, otherwise the large amount of rhuburb i have in the garden will go to waste, which i cant let happen...

my courgettes are flowering nicely, but once a little courgette starts appearing it just falls off, the only thing i can think its must be all this wet weather, so will have to try and make room in the greenhouse for some of them.

oo yep just to say my lovely new wellies really did come in handy at the bulldog as it was a right mudbath, and everyone was envious of them...lol....

speak to you all later..... take care.....

I'M BULLDOG BASHING THIS WEEKEND

Yep its that time of year again where we go to the bulldog bash, europes biggest bike rallies, organised by the Hell's Angels .
We have been going for a few years now, and loved it....party on down with great bands, watching the bikes go down the drag stripe etc...plus we allways spend some time in stratford too, as its a beautifull place. normally the police are only in the back ground around the place, and are never on site. but this year... i think they are going to be out in force due to the shoting last year of jerry on the way home from the bulldog. They seem to think there is going to be trouble.

So tonight i am getting my clothes ready, well making sure i have a few spare pairs of knickers in my pockets ...lol... as we are going up on the bike, we got to travel light, so only bare essentials... like tent, sleeping bag and booze...

I know i havent posted much, and havent done much for my fund, but after this weekend... i will knuckle down...Work is getting very busy at mo..typical. really as i am away for a few days...but it will still be there when i get back...

here is a link to the bash.... why dont you browse around the site.. and see what its all about.
