So I basically cooked a Christmas dinner, for #MotherMorris on #MotheringSunday, just #partridge instead of turkey. And, of course ‘t was all #YellowSticker from @waitrose! #MothersDay for you heathens. (at Market Harborough) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-xqCBoOmm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I don’t know how I’ve managed all these years without a #WhatNot in my life! #antique #Victorian #gothic #mahogany #eBayBargain #TheHuntingLodge (at Market Harborough) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpIobyyomnx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Interesting sausage placement! #Brunch with @l_seymour88. (at Market Harborough) https://www.instagram.com/p/CohaWdvIKbi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The latest little #DIY task, at #TheHuntingLodge; demolishing a secondhand bookcase, and cutting it down to fit on top of some drawers I inherited, to make this cabinet for the corner of the bedroom. #ButchBen #UpCycle #MendAndMakeDo (at Market Harborough) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoXm3w2IyJX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If anyone needs me in 2023, I’ll be at home cooking and eating #turkey! #YellowSticker #ShelfOfShite #CutPriceChristmas (at Waitrose & Partners) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmjq-v9oBpW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Well, that was a very productive #ChristmasShopping expedition… I bought myself a @tedbaker suit, some new heads for the toothbrush, and more decorations for the tree! #PinkGreenhouse #ChristmasWhisk #GayDanglyThing (at John Lewis & Partners) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmZdbUnIsa_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The #CostOfLivingCrisis is hitting hard in Leicester! Although, I have to say this cafe single-handedly salvaged my pointless trip (don’t bother coming to Leicester, unless you want a knock-off @nandosuk or a vape shop)… All I wanted, for lunch, was a #JacketPotato (why does nowhere serve the lowly spud anymore?), and found this little cafe… cash only so the lady behind the counter gave me the best directions ever “…nest t’ ya lesh-er shitty shop…” AND, as if that’s not reason enough to visit them, they’re laying on a free #ChristmasLunch for the homeless, and anyone on their own on #ChristmasDay!

Another day in the life of #ButchBen… shelves in the kitchen; everything you could possibly need for breakfast, right there! #DIY (at Market Harborough) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmCL9VgoUDc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And here’s the latest @ebay_uk bargain, for the hallway, at #TheHuntingLodge. It cost me more to bring it up from London, than it did to actually buy it… The only bit of #restoration I had to do was to removing the glue where someone had stuck the arms on, then re-drill, and screw them on properly. #ButchBen Now to fill it full of all my crap!
