Windy
Blimey it is VERY windy here tonight, glad that Alan was able to fly back home from Edinburgh which was VERY VERY windy.
Trying hard to sell lots of crafty stuff on UKS ahead of our move, but email me if you are not a UKS member and want to know what I am flogging.
I am also on ebay selling lots of vinyl LP's - gosh that is an old term
My liitle brother Marcus, died 10 years ago and I am selling his old Doors, Bob Dylan and Echo and The Bunnymen Lp's on ebay too.
All this moving out and clearing out, stirs so many memories...............

More Stuff to Shift
Sorry !!! I have been buried under a pile of things I know not what to do with (is that proper English?) and aside from that, I was rudely awoken at 12:50am by the earthquake. GOD I ALMOST WET MYSELF, I am home alone and I was convinced someone had broken in, I was terrified. We have a Victorian wash jug and bowl on a chest of drawers in our bedroom and it was rattling very loud when the earthquake struck! I got such a fright! My heart was pounding.
Anyway I think it was a rather "quaint, polite" earthquake, kind of "oops, frightfully sorry, I have damaged a few chimneys and a few of you are now on the streets in your jammies, must dash toodlepip"
HA HA!! Being English we shall all be talking about it for years to come and probably getting counselling for the shock.
ANY-HOO nuff said, you might think this is my blog but it's a little offshoot of Ebay for the next few weeks tee-hee
I have a couple of the rolling carts for sale - well 4 in total actually £10 each if anyone is interested I live in Cheshire about 15 mins drive from junction 19 of the M6 ( I will reveal my address to serious buyers, don't want to be "papped" on my own doorstep now do I?)
ALSO I have the whole of 2007 Creating Keepsakes magazines £15 the lot - post a comment or email me via the link on this blog if you are interested.
Oh I have discovered the joy of Russell Brand's stand up show this week, downloaded from iTunes, I laughed my head off (plonk!) on the way into work yesterday and today, he is terribly rude but damn funny ( and just a teensy bit gorgeous too!)
Anyway I am off to find more stuff to sell. OH I have lots of baby equipment for sale too, which I ain't gonna bang on about here cos this is a crafty bloggy , (scant evidence of that recently I know, but I don't want to get ousted from Crafty Blogs, since that is the only way I can gauge just how massive my fan base is heee heee heeee!) If you are interested and can pick up - let me know.
Later!!!!!

Questions about my storage
I have had a couple of questions about the storage in my craft room. Whoever you are Bixie Sparkles, I want that name LOL!!
Anyway my rolling cart things are from Costco, I am not sure if they still do them, but I will be selling a couple of them in the next few weeks, if anyone lives near Cheshire and can pick up and are interested let me know.
The clear plastic trays are from Display Dynamics, I can't remember where I got them but they came through the post, Google them and you'll be sure to find them.

SOLD!
Wow, who needs ebay? Thanks to the blog shopper who snapped up the bumper pack of embellies, they shall be winging their way to you this week. If you'll bear with me I have about another 500 things to sell, ha ha just kidding!
Well, emotionally I am SPENT! I have just finished watching "In Pursuit of Happyness" (yes that's the way they spell it) with Will Smith. I LOVE Will Smith, and in this film he is so good. Alan watched it on a plane about a year ago and said it was fantastic. All I can say is I have cried so much I now have eyes like a frog, I wept buckets. I knew very little about the film apart from it is the tale of a single Dad and his little boy, who end up homeless. Very sad and it was only at the end I realised it is a true story, yes sireeee. I won't spoil the ending but if you have SKY you HAVE to watch it, and have tissues, perhaps a whole box.
We have a new lady in our team at work who is based in the USA, she is also (spookily) from the USA, hee hee. Today she sends me an email with the phrase "well that's a fine howdy do!" It just cracked me up, I have quite a few friends in the States (ohhh hark at me) and I love their sense of humour - they just make me laugh. So Karen, hun, I love ya!!!

Hoots Mon!
So just back from Edinburgh, had a nice time and caught up with some very good friends for a few beers in Glasgow on Staurday night. We laughed soooo much I thought my sides would split. They are all Glaswegian and quite frankly I love their accents so much they could read a bus timetable and I would fall about laughing.
Anyway, Saturday morning the three of us drove back to Edinburgh with FIL to have a second house viewing. I had seen it briefly and had tried really hard to feel like "OK this is the nicest house EVER but I am SO not gonna like it cos we are like so NOT gonna get it". So this 2nd viewing was so exciting for me since now I could like it LOTS and not run the risk of getting broken hearted. HAH! the best laid plans................
So we rock up and meet the owners, who are lovely and we come armed with a tape measure since most of our house won't fit in the new one, so we need to decide what to chuck out and what to keep. We have 3 cellars (which are bursting at the seams, and a garage) New house has a total of errrrm ah yes no cellars and no garage. Check in later to find out how bad my IBS has got!!! Put it this way, going into our cellars at the moment sends me into a panic attack!
OK I digress, so I am walking round the house feeling all free with my love of it and imagining where we are going to put our (fewer) possessions. We are in the master bedroom, I look at Alex, he is as white as a sheet clutching his stomach, and he says " I think I am sick" AAAAAAARGGGGGHH, he is about to throw up IN THE NEW HOUSE. Quick as a flash Alan lifts him into the ensuite bathroom, he coughs, retches onces and NOTHING! By this point (did I mention just HOW vomit phobic I am ??) I am beside myself. I am thinking "OH God, he is gonna puke in the new house with the owners sitting downstairs".
Well pardon my French , but the little bugger was fine, totally fine!!!. Which was nice, but now I am watching him like a hawk and desperate to get out of the house just in case he does it for real next time. We finish the viewing with me angrily whispering "let's get out of here" to Alan, who is mad at me cos I am soooo stressed about the whole episode. We head back to the kitchen where the owners very kindly offer us a brew, which I declined on behalf of the 4 of us, much to their bemusement. It must have seemed so rude, but I was panicking!!! GAH! what a mare!
I need a lie down after that tale I can tell you................

Busy Busy........!!!
What a week! The flurry of activity on the house front has been exhausting, but it will be worth it I am certain. Alex is on half term so we travelled up to Edinburgh last night. Haven't done any crafting AT ALL just been so busy sorting stuff out. We have a cellar which consists of three rooms and they are all stuffed to the gunnells. The house we are moving to has a total of ...........NO cellar at all. EEEKKK! Every time I go down to our cellar I feel like having hysterics, lord knows what I am going to do with it all. Added to that we have brought back the last bits and pieces from Mum and Dads house.
If anyone knows of a good cause for baby toys/equipment / books in Cheshire, please let me know. We've been to the charity shop so often I think they think we are moving in.
I was planning on going to "Stitches" the trade show on Monday at the NEC with Sarah but I have to get on with de-junking the house....................ugh!

What a Day!!!
Cor blimey!!! What a day. Last night Alan decided I HAD to come and see the house up in Edinburgh we are interested in. The deadline for bids is next week, so I had to see it and we have to be somewhere tomorrow.......................so I had to go to Edinburgh today. So last night I booked flights up to Edinburgh for Alex and I and we whizzed up there. Just back, I AM IN LOVE...............with the house, it is stunning. Oh lordy, we are steeling ourselves for more stress and possible heartbreak.
Not had ANY time to craft (as my editors well know - oops) so forgive me , just send us lots of luck for next week.
