Half way through the week!!! :)

Hello everyone!

Today I am in "Now" magazine so go and pick up your copy!! Its really great, they are also paying me £200 for the article which is going straight in the "Save the Children fund".  So many thanks to Naomi at South West News and the team at Now magazine.

Tonight, more sausage casserole and rice and I think the rest of my "Tears of the Sun" dvd with the lovely Bruce Willis in.. great film, even if I have seen it a million times!

I came home to Mums homemade jams... Spiced Damson and also Plum and Ginger... mmmm.. some extra special pimped up porridge to come!

Had my first eggs from the new chickens today, they are really tiny!! (mind you they are still young).. they were so tasty!

Here they are.. introducing Bella and Daisy...

there is still a big divide... oldies up one end and newbies down the other, they are "not speaking"!!

I must admit the "new girls" put up with an awful lot!!

I received a lovely card today from the ladies at "Save the Children" (Sarah, Sharon and the team) with some really beautiful words inside, full of thought and support for me.  They had read what had happened in my relationship in the last week and sent me a really wonderful card from them all.  So thankyou Ladies, it really did mean a lot to me and really gave me a lift reading your kind words to me xxxx

So onto the Talbooth event in October... response is good, still need more bums in seats though so if you can make it, please do!! it will be a night to remember!!

Right i'm off to have dinner and a DVD with Mr Willis.. this single life ain't too bad afterall, got to keep chin up!! xxx





Upside down...

Well this week has been one of my worst weeks I have ever had.. Monday i was engaged, about to book the perfect wedding and church for next year, then tuesday comes and i am now a single lady... Things really do change overnight. Unfortunately I found out he had not been loyal to me and had lied to me for quite some time, so it's all over. I work in the same building too so going to work is like a torture! My only safe haven feels like my bedroom at the moment. I feel so betrayed, I feel consumed with anger and hurt. All I feel like doing it staying in my room, eating and drinking everything in sight. I am not imagining the perfect day now, instead I am fantasising about goey chocolate cake, quarter pounders, Chinese, cheesecake and those tempura vegetables...I keep thinking I will go and take my mind off it by doing something nice. But £1.42 doesn't stretch to any of those things at all!! This is great to do unless you are having a trauma and then it makes it so much worse!! Pretty low at mo but I keep having to remind myself of the wonderful people who have supported and donated and for all the children for which my upset this week might seem like a drop in the ocean to. I have to keep in mind those less fortunate than I. Therefore I am going to make more soup and my favourite sausage casserole and get on with it!!!! Xxx

sorry no blog...

sorry i havent written as often as i promised!!

I have been eating my sausage casserole £1.20 for 5 portions, really cheap veggie curry still left over from last week, porridge and of course chickens eggs on toast, mmmmm......

We have two new chickens (my parents bought them).. they are hybrids, both black, one with a tan collar and one with white.. they are almost point-of-lay, but we even had one tiny little brown egg from one! they are docile and friendly. However, I can't say the same for our existing ladies, we put them side by side, in separate enclosures for quite some time, to get acquanted initially as they adivse...but i have never seen so much fuss made!! they hate new ladies in their territory, Buffy is most put out, there is lots of squarking and pecking... guess thats where they get the pecking order from hey!! they will sort it out... eventually....i hope!!

Still sticking to my £1.42 a day! it so tough though, if you are like me.. as soon as something happens in your life to hurt you or you have had the worst day at work.. you reach for the food and the drink!!! that was my therapy....

Great news though, the event at "le Talbooth" on 15th October is a great success, more and more people tell me they are coming, its fantastic!!!! will be a great night, tell your friends and family about it... the more the merrier!!!

Had the make-up artist and the photographer come over to take pictures for the "national magazine"... it was so fab.. Julia was so lovely and fantastic, she done my make up fabulously and was such a beautiful person, it was lovely to meet her! and Chris the photographer made me feel so confident and at ease, they were both truly lovely genuine people, i loved welcoming them into my home in aid of save the children! thankyou Chris and Julia xxx

So coming up.. i have the face painting again in september and the the event in October, then for the winter i have booked my very good friend Trevor of Klarner's coaches' fabulous luxury coach for a christmas market/shopping trip (overnight), so i shall be selling tickets for that soon!! will be fantastic!! watch this space!!

i am thinking now of a charity car wash while its warm.... i am on a busy main road... so drivers by... get your money out LOL!

speak soon xx
