HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JASMINE :o}

HI JASMINE.
HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY, SWEETIE :o}

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DONS!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLING DONS :O] I hope you have a fabulous day today with no hangover. As it is your special day, you are allowed to be bratty all day, for one day only...... hee hee!

introspective me

You Have a Melancholic Temperament

Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything. You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life. You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you. Given enough time alone, it's easy for you to find inner peace. You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life. Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times. At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you. You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others. You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult.

What Temperment Are You?

Is this me? Well, I suppose it is true sometimes - depends what space I'm in. I do love my own company. But I don't find it hard to connect with others ..... mostly ....... makes me sound like a moody old thing, which I'm not. I think I'm easy to get on with. Hmmmm .... food for thought :o}

dons' birthday

SSSSSSHHHHHHH!
This is a secret .........
it's Dons' birthday
on Saturday ..............
don't tell her I told you!!

show and tell

Hi Sweeties

My day today went like this - I met up with Donna, Jasmine, Alfie and Elizabeth but could only spend a brief time with them before I had to go home to do some of my college work. I have loads of writing to get done and the deadline is getting closer and closer.

Then I got so engrossed in my writing that I forgot to watch Antiques Road Show and forgot to prepare my Sunday dinner. When I realised, it was too late to get it done - I'd have had to have eaten at about 10pm - well now, in fact. So I ended up having fish and chips :o{

So, to cheer myself up, I packed my books away and grabbed my camera. I took lots of photos of my charity shop and boot sale treasures. I'm going to show and tell four of them. They are four of my table lamps - I have many more. The pic showing a bright orange base was a boot fair find but I bought the shade from Habitat. I must say that a huge proportion of my favourite finds were pointed out to me by Dons. She can spot a treasure from a mile away!

Maybe I'll put some more kitsch things up for you another time?

Shadow Picture

This is my favourite shadow picture. It's of my daughter "Roxy Simmons" and her husband, up in the mountains, on the day that he proposed to her. Sweet huh?




Tomorrow I am taking a day off work to go girlie shopping with Dons. I am so excited - it feels like I'm going to be playing hookey from school - having a day off in the middle of the week like this :o}

We're going to go to Exeter. I hope the weather stays as lovely as it's been for the past few days. Having said that Dons and I always seem to get good weather when we go to Exeter. Hennes here we come - hurrah!
~(:o})=
