Rushed off my feet

A 5p listing day (whatever happenned to free listing days) left me with a massive amount of orders. I,m not complaining but it took nearly 3 weeks to complete them all. Still it left me money to spend. Bought lots of scrapbooking bits and pieces, some christmas presents and stuff for the animals. Also was very bad and spent lots of money plus money i dont yet have on an echeque. Still got P his stuff so maybe he'll be happy for a day or two :-)

a weeks worth - but sparce

This week Ive received a do-crafts goodie bag with rubber stamps, punch, stickers and more, more rubber stamps, gardening with the Goddess book that got here from the US in 3 days. I also bought S a sterling silver elephant bracelet which I had sent straight to her.

i never told

Back from my holidays to a condom-like spaniel!

I had completely forgotten I had ordered a latex mould of a spaniel. But there is something distinctly condom like about its shape :-0
I also bought a £5 coin for £4.95 and another for £5.11. The £5.11 one is for 1990 so i'm putting it into a scrapbook page for A.
Not buying a lot at the moment as I have other commitments, but will soon be back to 4-5 wins a day as Xmas approaches.

really slow

Ive had a dog themed scrapbook, a yellow scrapbook that i;m going to put the kids in, and a piece of junk slip-in photo album sold as a scrapbook! I also got a 20inch silver chain for my pndants. P has had a few things too recently including a violin he doesnt like and an amp he does :-)

Ten Shillings - 10 Bob - 10/-

Today i got a 10/- charm, a little silver box with break glass incase of emergncy inscribed on top and a ten shilling note folded up so all you can see is the number 10 showing through the glass. I'm sure my aunt Margaret had one of these in the late 60's early 70's.

It reminded me of an incident when I was young. Someone came to visit - my grandad maybe and gave me 10 bob. I recall feeling that i was rich! And it wasn't even my birthday. I took it round the corner to Donald's Cafe (Saltcoats) and I went to the big counter to be served - not the little sweet counter. I remember just holding it and looking at it and not wanting to part with it. I was even considering not buying anything because it was such an amazing thing to have my vry own 10 bob. I have no idea what age I must have been, but the 10/- note was withdrawn in 1971 so i must have been under 10. It is quite a vivid memory which i had forgotten until this morning.

Purple Human Hair

extension pieces on clips. 6 of them. Why? Dunno - seemed blike a good idea at the time. They are too straight ,and long to fit in with my hair. If i weren't so boring I would have real streaks this colour instead of the boring blond streaks i've got.
