Calling all upcycling fashionistas .....

Greetings,

I love reading blogs about ladies who upcycle/recycle clothes from boot sales, charity shops etc.,
but this lady takes some beating ...........

She doesn't just 'accessorise' i.e. add a belt, boots etc., or cut the length, you have to see this, check out the section on '366Days' - where she takes an item and completely changes it's appearance/purpose - I'm only half way through her blog, but have to pass it on.

Freezer Malfunction ............

Greetings,

Well that sounds like it's not my fault, but in truth, I think it was my fault - I don't see who else could have been responsible - the cats can't pull a plug out !

 

Actually it's not a tall one, it's a chest freezer - 6' long and it was full !!

 

Well long story short, the top third had to go - nothing could be done.  The bottom third was OK, as freezers defrost from the top down, so it was still frozen at the bottom, that left the middle third - and boy was there a load of stuff there to be re-processed !

 

By that I mean, cook it all, turn it into casseroles, stews, curries, cakes, anything you can think of to save it, there was months of 'yellow stickered' stuff in there that I was very proud of snaffling from Sainsbury's bargain cabinet.

 

So I'm really P***** off now, I REALLY didnt want to do all that cooking, not after the week I've had, it was the last thing on my list, but I HAD to do it or let it all go to waste.

 

I still don't know how I managed to pull the plug, except to say I'm not firing on all cylinders this week, in fact I don't know what planet I'm on - feel like I'm floating around achieving nothing.  I hope this passes soon.

 

take care peeps ..............

 

The Dreaded Card arrives ...............

This came this morning ...........

 

See how Stephen, the vet, has taken the time to write - such a kind compassionate man.  He knew my heart was breaking ..........

 

 

There are those that cannot, nor ever will, understand the deep undying love one can have for a pet, but for those who do, and sent me beautiful messages and comments, I thank you.

take care peeps ..............

RIP My Darling Carrotcat - I love you more than I can say

 

My heart has gone with you baby

 

Update on Carrotcat ........

Greetings,

Carrotcat had a checkup last night, those who have been following his story will know he is now on his last days.  11 months ago, the vet said '12 months'.

 

Saint Steven (vet) said he isn't in any pain, and as long he is continuing to do 'normal' things i.e. eat, sleep, eat, purr, eat, cuddles, eat, drink, eat, use the litter tray and eat, the time hasn't come yet.

 

So I came home feeling that both Carrotcat and I have had something of a reprieve.  Steven says no need to think about it for a 'few weeks'.

 

Obviously with his condition, with all this eating, he's not putting on any weight, but I can honestly say he's eating better than me at the moment, he's getting the best money can buy !  I'll make do with toast !

 

When the time does come, Steven will come to the house so Carrotcat will be at home with me.

 

I'm going now 'cos just the thought of saying goodbye to him tears my heart out, let alone do anything about it.

 

take care peeps ............

 

My Alter-Ego says 'Hello' ............

Greetings,

I've put in a link in the left side bar to my website - 'Tarot Whispers' - if you're interested in Tarot Readings, Reiki Healing or Chakra Cleansing, click on the image for more information.

take care peeps ....................

I know I'm banging on about this but .........

Greetings,

Yes I am going on about this, but if you haven't joined - why not ?  because this is a 100% genuine, guaranteed way to earn money/gift vouchers for FREE !!  no catches or scams, no paying money upfront or disclosing all your personal information, no sign-ups or agreeing to having ads on your blog/site - so what's keeping you then ?  I'm trying to help you out here !

 

All you do is click on the link in the left sidebar and sign up, you then download the Swagbucks toolbar and use it instead of Google or whatever when you search/surf the net, and watch your Swagbucks mount up - it really is that simple !

 

On the 15th. April, I posted that I had 'increased' my total SB's to 426, now this was having already 'banked' £30.00 worth, now it's 22nd. April now, exactly one week later, and I've not only 'earned' yet another £5 voucher but have got over 600  towards yet another one !  I can't believe how quicky these points mount up. 

 

You then have a choice of how you 'spend' your vouchers, there's lots of shops and options to choose from you can even have the CASH paid into your Paypal account !  my personal favourite is Amazon vouchers, they are 'on sale' at the moment, and instead of 1000 Swagbucks to 'buy' a £5 voucher - it's only 849 !!

 

THIS IS A NO BRAINER !

 

Get your kids to use the Swagbucks toolbar as well, and your 'earnings' should fly !

 

Now I know all you lovely people are always looking for ways to earn or save an extra penny or two, to make your money stretch further and further into infinity - so here is an opportunity handed to you on a plate ! so come on, it's yours for the taking, I can't do anymore.

 

And YES, I WILL get some Swagbucks as a reward if you sign up, but you can do exactly the same on your blog/site, and if you have a large readership then you should do very well indeed, look what I have achieved with only a small amount of readers.

 

I joined back in November, and have 'earned' over £50 - now imagine if you wanted to earn that amount in store points - how much would you have to spend first ?  with Swagbucks, you don't have to spend anything.

 

OK - it's up to you then ......... but in my opinion it's no good saying you are always looking for ways to earn money online if you don't grab the opportunities when the present themselves ..........

 

PLEASE NOTE: you can join wherever you are, not just England, it's a Worldwide opportunity.

(Thanks for bonsaimum for bringing this to my attention)

 

take care peeps ............

 

I need one of these .............

Greetings,

It's lovely now spring is springing, but oh my doesn't it make everything look shabby ?  well it does in this totally disfunctional house anyway !  no good asking the landlord to do anything, you can't get past a straight 'no' can you ?  My landlords answer to everything is 'you've been lucky so far' - I have a few answers for him actually but I've got used to the roof over my head !

Soooooo I need one of these - has anyone got one going spare ?

You see I've already got one of these -

but unfortunately, haven't got much of this -

trouble is, I can't see any self-respecting workman doing all my jobs for a cup of tea and a chocolate hob-nob !

 

 

  oh well, let's just hope I don't get any visitors !

 

 

 

take care peeps ...........
