Old Favourite!

We came across a lovely classic 1970s car earlier on.

It was a Ford Cortina in lovely condition!

I too owed one,mine was a maroon X reg Ford Cortina.

It only had 4 gears, no seat belts in the back and I could only play tapes!!

Enough reminiscing, it's back to school and work for us tomorrow.

Sandwiches made,uniform sorted out, for the children and for hubby.

Even a stab vest for me, to wear at work.......

Cheese+Cake=Cheesecake

After looking at a cheesecake for sale for £8.25 yesterday.

We decided to make our own.

In the end we made two.

One Chocolate and one Lemon Cheesecake.

We also made Spinach,Red Onion, Red Pesto, & Goat Cheese tart.

I have two birthday's coming up in two weeks.

Better start designing their Birthday cakes & Birthday cards!

Window Shopping!

What a day I have had!

First we have had heavy rain on and off.

We starts to take newly fixed hubby's car out for a trip out.

However,it was veering to the left a lot.

Back to the garage it went....

More work to be carried out on it.

Meanwhile out came the Pink Princess for a spin instead.

Looked around Evesham Country Park.

All we did was window shop, because it was so  expensive!

Now I'm in the mood to make my own cheesecake after seeing how much one was too buy!!!!

Fighting Over The Pouffe!

It's pay day for me!

I celebrated with taking full advantage of a sleeping hubby ;)

Most of my 3 wages went to help pass hubby's car through his MOT.

However I did have enough left over to visit my local Salvation Army Charity Shop.

I didn't get too much.

I will smell and look good with some of the items I bought.

I bought a small pouffe.

Now have both kids fighting to sit on it!

I will be looking out for another one to keep the peace!

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!
