Loads Of Money (Not!)

Today it has been robbing Peter to pay Paul day.

I paid for my MOT for my car.

So my Pink Princess has got another 12 months MOT :)

Hubby  had four Suspension springs fitted to his car to get it through his car's MOT.

Even had to raid the piggy bank to pay for the MOT retest.

I have ten quid left to my name.

I'm going to be a skint Domestic Goddess for a while :/

Needle In A Haystack!

I have had a very frustrating Tuesday,

First, I got the wrong part for my car :(

Then trying to find the right part, 

Was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

I took out my frustration on doing some baking.

First was making a Apple Pie (with help from my hubby)

Then I made Rhubarb Fantasy Loaf!

Once the loaf came out of the oven, came the good news!

Finally found the right part for my car.

Plus she passed her MOT!!

 

A Little Loving.....

Whoo Hoo another Bank Holiday Monday.

We packed a picnic, and drove to Bidford upon Avon.

We looked around the car boot.

We haggled hard and got some great bargains.

Including a old picnic basket

We were chilling in the park afterwards.

I bumped into some Stepford Wives who blatantly blanked me!

Never mind them ;P

Got home, and gave the picnic basket A Little Loving

Amazing what a bit of green gingham material and ribbon can do!

Going Far & Wide For A Coffee ;P

Had a lie in.

I took full advantage of a sleeping hubby as it was Sunday morning ;)

We had a late brunch.

We visited Aldi in Bromsgrove  to do our food shopping.

We travelled a bit further to Droitwich for a  coffee.

Hubby commented it was a bit far for a coffee..

It's not just any coffee, it's a Waitrose coffee and it's free! I replied.

We are aiming not to buy ANY more food this week except milk.

As we don't have a cow in the front garden, to milk!

Driving My First Car.

It's Saturday!

First day of our holidays.

We went to Stratford Car Boot.

Very busy, but high prices.

Visited my dad, and stopped for tea.

I browsed through the photo albums.

I found a photo of me driving my first car.

It had to be pink of course!

 

 

Out Comes The Record Player

Whoo Hoo, last day of work today for a week!

My kids & hubby break up today for the Whitsun holiday

The sun is shining, the washing is out on the line.

My mate Henry has been out for a play.

Something great arrived in the post today.

A great song on 7" vinyl record!!!

I love vinyl records..

The crackle and the occasional jump of the needle!

My record player later is going to VERY busy later...

Gimp Suit Anyone???

The Sun is shining.

I made it through the early morning dodging traffic.

Out came the slow cooker, as I am making a Casserole for tea tonight.

Then out came Kenny the Kenwood.

I have made Mary Berry's Carrot & Walnut Cake.

I had some very interesting mail.

I laughed when I saw what someone wrote on my packet!

Someone knows me far too well ;)
