It's Thursday,

and today I am:

• listening - to my workmates chatter - at home to anything Lil Miss B is playing, usually on a random mixup.
• eating – Ainsley Herriot's Hot & Sour cup a soup, with salt and vinegar crisps for lunch
• drinking - apple and blackcurrant squash, or coffee
• wearing - my turquoise Per Una skirt and a turquoise t-shirt, white shoes
• feeling - feeling exhausted after house moves and poor sleep.
• weather - cloudy with sunny spells, temp about 26 degrees
• wanting - sleep
• needing - sleep
• thinking - bed would be nice right about now
• enjoying - living so close to work - no more 1 hour drive home!
• wondering - if we'll ever be able to afford our own home.

WOYWW 221

 

GONE!
 

And back again in another place…

Well, I’ve been here a couple of weeks but the last two weeks were too much mayhem for actually getting anything posted and we didn’t have broadband for the first week, or wifi till the second.  Situation normal now but we have creative chaos….

 

Back to boxes on the desk!   Stay tuned for developments – not sure I’ll be unpacking much though!

 

WOYWW 218

Going.....

 

 More of the same from me this week I'm afraid - but this time next week I'll have moved!  

Enjoy your hop around the globe on the 
WOYWW  bus with the marvellous Mrs Dunnit's as your driver.... See you soon!
 

WOYWW 217

Going......

 Not much more I can say to that!!!!

Sorry I'm not reciprocating much at the mo but things are a little busy just now....
 

WOYWW 216

 I figured it was high time I posted again - so you guys don't think I've dropped off the face of the earth. I haven't, I'm just gearing up for a house move. Yup, we've been here for just shy of two years now, and its time to move on as the owners will be back from Dubai in August! 

So, I give you exhibit A:

And exhibit B:

 Needless to say I'm not getting much crafting done. Ok, any. 

So, go on back to Mrs Dunnit's blog to continue hopping your way around the WOYWW world.

Oh - and before I forget - thank you to all you wonderful ladies for your good wishes after the wedding!

 

WOYWW 212 - Helloooo, Mrs B!

Another round of WOYWW - where does the time go?  Here we are, once again, on this worldwide voyage around the global desks of all the WOYWW ladies, courtesy of the wonderful Mrs Dunnit.  I'm not stopping for long though - I'm a newlywed, don'tcha know?  LOL

I have to say, the weather was amazing and the company great.  The wedding passed at superspeed; I can't remember much about it other than gazing into a certain Mr B's eyes, and having the hugest quantity of Chinese food on the table!  The party went with a swing, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  Mission well and truly accomplished.

Well, I promised a picture of the finished bouquets once the great day had passed..... and here you are....

Here's a couple of gratuitous hat and shoe photos....

And one of Lil Miss B' looking gorgeous....

Regrettably, there is no desk picture this week.  Who am I kidding?  Regrettably?  I'm delighted there's no desk picture this week.  I'm having a well-deserved week off....

WOYWW 211 - last call for Roberts!

Hellloooooo!

 

Late posting today.

 

And I don't really have a desk for WOYWW, that wonderful creation of the fabulous Miss Dunnit.

 

I'm still a little bit busy, as The Big Day is this Friday and I get to take a new married surname instead of using my old married one.  I could have gone back to my maiden name but I'm a cheapskate.  There, I said it.

 

Anyway, I don't really have a desk so I've posted up a picture of what I HAVE been working on lately - two nights this week, I turned a  marzipaned fruitcake into this.  I don't have to worry if it will eat alright - my Mum (bless her) made it, and having had about 70 years practice at this kind of thing will no doubt have turned out another awesome work of edible art.  She makes the best fruit cakes I know of.  Apologies to those who have already seen this cake on Facebook yesterday.

 

 

The second picture is something else I'm now working on for the wedding - hair slides for myself and  Lil Miss B... I'd be lying if I said the bouquets were finished but they're 99% done, just requiring a needle and thread on both, and a few more buttons/beads on one.

 



 

 

So - enjoy your hopping, my apologies that I don't reciprocate with any visits and comments,  but I really think I'm going to be otherwise engaged married this week!

 

 

Just a quick update from me....

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKK

 

Where is the time going?

 

Only 4 more sleeps to the Big Day - and I still have so much to do!  The bouquets are NOT finished, nor is the cake, and there are just too many little things to sort out/fix.

 

Will we be ready?

 

Bet your life!

 

 

Hmmmmm - sure I've heard that as lyric somewhere....

Averted!

Well, disaster has been averted and we can move on with the plans. 

Now I just have to keep my fingers crossed that the Espace will be fixed in time for the wedding!

Disaster...........

Oh my

 

Trouble is brewing

Anyone who knows me over the last year knows that I've been plagued with car trouble.  So much so, that last year it nearly put the mockers on the whole wedding thing when our silver Clio blew up.

Guess what.

Yup

Curse of the cars strikes again.

This time, we have - in the blue corner - the Renault Grand Espace.  Fault - something horribly wrong with the clutch.  Quote - £900 to fix.  In the red corner - the Renault Clio.  Fault - unsure, possibly the electronic control unit and a vacuum leak coupled with immobiliser woes.  Quote - £unknown, with a starter figure of £105 for work already done that didn't cure the problem.

So that's a cool grand before both cars are anywhere near fixed. 

And what have we here?  Oh, just a wedding reception!  With about £2k to pay on it still, money that is all we have, sat in the bank.  Waiting...for a wedding reception....or a broken car.  Or two.

It may just be that we have to cancel the reception.  Or downscale it.

The next 12 hours will tell - watch this space.
