On Saturday we got nice new, well new to us [4 years old] American Style fridge and I love it!!!!! I have always loved those Fridges and when my parents got one I started to lust after one. Well were DH works they have a classified adds board were you can buy, sell and put all your wants on the board. Well he saw this beauty for sale and went after it and boy am I glad he did.
It is the most perfect thing I have ever seen. It is lovely and it does the job perfectly. Second hand new to me rocks. I love the whole retro vibe itc sends shivers down my spine I love the look of it and I wish I could do most of my house in it, but my husband is quite picky and only likes certain looks and hates it if second hand furniture looks tatty. But I am working on it, slowly but surely.
I got a purple toaster on saturday and it matches my kettle. Same make and model, but different colour. But I think I am going to make my kitchen retro and uber cool, so I will be happy. Also I want to update my kitchen, and it has to be a cheap one, so the retro look is the cheapest and the easiest one to do. So I cannot wait to get it done.
We had a lovely weekend and did lovely family things together, which I have to say it is rare for us as we are all so busy and dont have much time together which is a shame. But this weekend we made an effort and it was one of the best weekends that we have had in a long time. And I picked up my new child today and she is a joy to take and made me giggle. So I have a good start to the week horray!!!!!!!!!

Rest Time
After Wednesday's shock news that I would not be transporting the kids anymore and that I would have a new kid to look after. I decided that I needed to take a few days break away from work and measure up my options. Which to be honest at the moment there isnt any!!!!
The UK job market as you will most probally know is well, how do I put it RUBBISH!!!!!! So I cant really leave at the moment. But I have been considering my options, I could find a job were I work from home and have fun doing it. Go back to college and study to retrain as something in the childcare sector, as I enjoy working with kids with challenging behaveiour. But DH told me we cannot afford to do this at this moment in time. Or set up a vintage store on etsy, as I love old stuff!!!! And it seems lots of people in blog land do as well. But I wouldnt charge over the top rates. I would be fair and offer good value for money. Just because it is vintage it doesnt mean it has to be expensive, like some of these Etsy shops are. And the intial outlay would be minimal and I could do my favourite thing, charity shop shopping!!!!
But I need help and I would have to see how it runs for a year before I leave my job. So it is going to be pretty challenging time for me!!!!
But the way the ecomomy is at the moment is it viable to do something like this at the moment. I have alsorts to think about. Its about time I sorted my life out!!!!!
And I tidied my craft room and there is soo much space in there I couldnt believe it. All because my poor guinea pig has gone to guinea pig heaven. I think it got that confused at the end because it had two names, youngest ds called it Luigi and I called it Chicken Tikka due to its bright gingery tufts it had. But it was six years old. So it must have been about 60 in human years. R.I.P little friend you will be missed!!!!!

Sad Sad Day
I had a very sad day today. Infact I am still pretty upset about it even now and it happened at 11 am this morning. I did my school run as normal, but my supervisor was with me. We took the children to school as normal and nothing was said.
So I assumed it had all went well. When I was out with the hubsband my phone went off, it was my supervisor telling me that I was going to be moved on to a different run. Of course I wasnt thinking at this point and I just went along with what I was being told. It only sinks in after I get to the car. And then I get upset and mean upset. Not big style, well not at first anyway. Junk food upset which is not good with me as I cannot really eat it. It makes me quite sick and I get a bad tummy with it, plus I like to know what goes into my food. And I am quite a picky eater. So I am sat in the fast food place getting more and more upset as time goes on,
So I go home and sob my heart out down the phone, that I dont want to be moved as I am happy, blah blah, blahhh...... and the cogs in my brain are going just quit already, you are to good for this company. I get a call back off another boss and I sob my heart out to him, but they want to move me and they have made this quite clear, which got me more and more upset. So I decided with my driver that I wasnt going to tell them, but on the way to collect, I felt that they had to know the truth. I just didnt expect the response.
One told me please dont go, I had one crying and that got me crying, I told one and he couldnt take it in and the other one I havent told yet and I dont think I can. So I called work and told them what had happened, but I left a message as I couldnt cope with another crying session. It just angers me as they claim I am stressed, well to be honest, I am not, these kids give me a purpose to wake up and to do a job I enjoy doing. And I know I am pretty lucky in that respect, so why do people insist on moving you around like chess peices? Could someone in blog land please give an answer as I am baffled!!!

Im ohh so tired!!
Its one of those dark rainy days when all you want to stay under the covers and ignore the day. But alas I cannot, I have to go to work and face the day. But my driver makes me laugh and I treat her like a sister as she listens to my grumbles and I listen to her whatever. But I still am on the air of caution as I have bit in the ass before and I nearly got into serious trouble so I try to stay away from it.
But today I went to once of my favourite supermarkets Aldi and bought lots of goodies for everyone in the house. Love places like aldi as you dont have to spend a lot to get some really nice food. I love their hams and beauty products as they really do work. I dont really have a bad word to say about this shop. I also like it because it is small, I dont do big supermarket. Why on earth to you need to go to a supermarket that is the size of a small town? To confuse and to bambolzle you into buying products you dont need. That is why I run to the hills when I see these places. I get confused enough without seeing a place like that on the horizion!!!!!
The animals have been very quiet today, I dont even think they like the bad weather hence they have been sleeping all day. Bless. I am hoping tomorrow is a better day and a much nicer day. And I might not be so tired!!!

Monday Monday
Yupp its the start of the week yet again!!! But I have had a good day, went thrifting got an amzing cook book for 50p, which allows you to use whatever fruits or veg are in season. And some of them do sound very yummy and I cannot wait to try some of these yummy meals and see how they turn out. Some look like they can be adapted so they can be used with what ever veg is in season!
Got another book by Jules Oliver, Jamie Olivers wife and I cannot wait to read that one. But at the moment I am still reading about Steve Jobs, a genius with quirks. And his odd way of getting things done with the reality distortion field approach!!! I might try that here and see what happens!!
I bought a sweet tunic with palm prints on it, a dutch girl carting water barrels round and a wooden sunflower. I went back to get a vase I spied on Friday, but sadly it had gone, I knew at the time I should have got it, so it serves me right!!!!!
Spoke to some friends in the village, but this wave of tiredness hit me, so I appologised and made my exit. And managed to sleep for nearly two hours! But I did tidy round and made some crispy cakes for the boys for school. So I didnt feel to bad and I felt better for the rest if I do say so myself. I have brought the laptop downstairs as I ended up playing bingo untill some crazy hour, hence the tiredness today. But I also managed to watch a fab movie called Sucker Punch, if you havent seen it I recommend to get hold of a copy. The movie is great, I know it got slated but it didnt bother me at all. So there you go, have a good day and take care yall and happy chinese new year!

It always happens in 3s!!!
Well i have had an odd kind of weekend. First of all my favourite boots have died aggh, my portable DVD player has bitten the dust and I smashed a bar of soap by standing on it! So we have a saying in our family it always happens in 3's.
That is how bad luck runs in our family, you dont have any for ages and then bang like a mutiple pile up it happens!!! So I shouldnt have any for a while now. Me the queen of wishful thinking!
But I have managed to catch the dregs of the sales and got quite a few bargains!!!! An new camera I can mange with £100 off!!!!! So I am happy by that. I did try the SLR but I cant manage them which is a shame. So I went with a nice compact and light Panasonic Lumix. Its lovely easy to use and easy to control.
Good job DH was with me or I would have bought anything!!!! I wanted a purple camera to go with my hair, but there wasnt any, which was a shame. I was going to buy a portable DVD player, but I am going to use the laptop instead and see how I get on .
Yesterday I didnt have time to blog as I was so busy!!! And so tired as well. I really dont like weekends!!!

Dark Day
Well today has been a very dark day all day today!!! I hate it when it is like this as I cannot be othered to do anything and I get annoyed with myself and then I start getting depressed. So I thought I would keep myself busy today by playing bingo, thats right bingo. But it is free and you can win shopping vouchers so this keeps my mind active and busy
But I did clean and mop the floors throughout the house and took my lovely dog to the village for a walk. So I havent totally wasted today!!! I just dont like dark days, hence this is why this post short!!!!! laters guys
