Ebay, cushion, charity shop, holiday, knitting

Ebay - ordered some material, rotary cutter and a cutting mat today
Cushion - ordered the bits above to make it lol
Charity shopping - K and I went to a nearby small town for a wander around, K bought himself some books, I got a some candles and a Nigella Lawson cookbook and there are chocolate cakes in there to die for!
Holiday - The Sun Newspaper has been running a promo for holidays for £15 each person for a 3 night stay so I got the relevant codes from the MSE site and booked 3 nights to coincide with our holiday in June at Bude. We will stay Fri-Mon at 1 caravan site at Bude and then pack up and move a couple of miles to stay at the other caravan site Mon-Fri. The cost of the caravans has been less than £150 and I don't know of anywhere where you can get a caravan for 1 week for that amount in June in Cornwall. K is absolutely made up and so are the kiddies, just need to persuade Mum to have the dog for another 3 nights.
Knitting - I'm making squares for a blanket for the sofa [to cover it] 3 done 300 to go.

It's rained ALL day here - non stop - poured down

Charity Shopping and Blogging Daily

Today, as K was on a day off we decided to have a walk round the Charity Shops at NP. We were after a square frame for a card I'd bought when we were in St Ives in June and also a tile stand for .... yep, you guessed it, a tile, again bought in St Ives. I love browsing round the Charity Shops. I rarely buy anything, not because I don't want to, but because of the silly prices they charge. £4 or £5 for a t-shirt - the same price as BHS!! They have priced themselves out of the game for me but that doesn't stop me wandering round them. Anyway, we found a frame but forgot to look for the tile stand, so that means another visit on another day. When we came home K made a mount for the frame and out the picture in and I have put it on the wall to the right of the computer in the Kitchen but tomorrow it will be moved to the wall on the left as that's the way I generally face and I want to gaze on it and remember the first holiday we took as a family, at St Ives and how good it was, and it really was quite possibly the best holiday I've ever had.

I've also, after reading another blog [which I can't remember the name of now - sorry] decided to blog on a more regular basis. What is the point of trying to record our lives for the children to read in the future if I don't blog about it! Tomorrow will be the first of many blogs about the children and what they have done aswell as my own ramblings and talking of ramblings, thats enough for 1 night as its bedtime
