keeping things simple

I've just turned 60 ... (that's a huge milestone - for me personally) ... love scrapbooking and crafts

I use this account to log memories and the usual moans and groans

If you're not comfortable with any of this ... follow these simple instructions. Don't bother following me, block me ... don't care, whatever ... my blog my rules, I'm not looking for popularity, just me in my silly little world. And if you are following me, welcome to my private hell ... and enjoy the ride!!

And do not follow me if your only goal is to have a go at me via private message, you WILL receive an instant block and if you still persist you WILL be reported without fail

Should I knit preemie hats to donate, the pattern is simple and quick to do, or knee blankets

Or

I could try and make soft toys, but bear in mind that there are very strict safety regulations I must adhere to

Waiting for a delivery of a couple of fancy pasta bowls because the ones that I currently have are far too big and I'm trying to adjust my portion size accordingly (they're Portmeirion, if you don't already know the brand, and are really fancy, may as well dine in style, pic is below, got them from ebay, which is much cheaper than direct from the official website)

I have spotted a couple of crafting retreat breaks, both here and abroad ... shame that the one I was interested in, falls around the time when I'll be heading off on that river cruise - itinerary ... lino cutting and other stuff

Fingers crossed that this week, I can finally sell one of the 4 garages belonging to my father in law, it's been an excruciatingly long time coming

Collecting my new shoes on Wednesday, because the shop has small storage space and didn't have my size or colour in so its a special order

Collecting my new glasses on Sunday!!

Almost finished my scrapbook .... decided to do an 'Ellie' ... from the Disney movie Up, and fill the remaining last half of random photos

Would love to see my GP wriggle out of this one on Thursday ...quick explanation, I had blood tests last week and apparently my cholesterol levels were above average and the plan was to increase my medication ... shame, because i haven't been taking them for nearly 2 months, this wasn't deliberate because every time i tried to order my repeat prescription, those meds were put on ' awaiting approval '. And therefore I was unable to take them!🙄

And here's one of the lovely pasta bowls! (Got two because it was cheaper than buying just the one on its own)

Beat Norway 2-1, it went through to extra time!!

On closer inspection, a cat had decided to use my planter as its personal litter tray and left a couple of 💩💩💩 on the top of the soil

I admit that, yes, I have neglected the planters in the yard and let everything run wild

But EWWWW. No wonder some of my plants and weeds are refusing to grow in that particular pot

So, I'm guessing that I've got to get the council to remove my garden waste ... and pay for the privilege

There are a few planters needing to be gotten rid of and not just the one planter

I think either the plum or apple tree is dying off, barely any leaves on it and the branches are riddled with brown lumps.

For FREE!!!

Bear in mind that all the puzzles and activities have been solved

Sorry, no photo to prove that there is definitely a full set and the condition of them

I'm pretty sure that I had one

The last giveaway before the collection is being sent to the auction house

The reason for the delay ... is the weather ... and the fact that the spare room is a daunting task to sort out a few things. Besides the fact that it is south facing and is definitely a sauna at the best of times

A couple had a dream to get married, unfortunately the bride to be developed MND and ended up in hospice care on end of life care the staff ensured that the wedding went through, including their two dogs as well as extended families

They decorated everywhere, in a wedding theme,they got married, the photos were beautiful
