Bed saga finally at an end...

So...the story begins in Preston end July 2011, and finally ends today...

When we moved from Preston to Orkney, we put most of our furniture and items into storage, including our bed. Then, when we moved from Orkney to Inverness, we brought with us the items from Orkney, but waited a month before getting things from storage.

When the items finally arrived, we were missing the slats for the bed as well as the stepladder and ONE leg out of four for our garden table. Quite strange really, when the moving men said the items went from the house in Preston straight into the van and then from the van into storage, and then from storage into the van and then from the van into the house here in Inverness. They found the stepladder in the storage unit...they've probably been using it...

So...we had to nag at them for a month before they (the movers) agreed that they would not find the slats and had to replace them. Then hubby had to nag at them for another few weeks before they finally made a payment and then another two weeks before they arrived. And...they were too short...TYPICAL!!!

So, we had an idea and called the furniture store, and found out that the insurance covered lost slats. So, they agreed to send replacements to us. We did explain to them very clearly that we lost the slats when MOVING!!! Still, for some reason they sent the slats to PRESTON!!! So, hubby called and was VERY unhappy with them, and they promised to send them to the correct address, and they have just arrived this morning:)

A bit longwinded story, but then so was living through it...lol

So, now I can finally put the bed together properly and then have the spare room just for me and my crafts...

Yey:)

Refreshing my blog (long time coming)...

Hi, I haven't posted here for a very long time. Towards the end of the last period of blogging I completely lost track of my craftiness and there was just too much going on in life. Now I am finally feeling like myself again, I have started a web shop on Etsy and have started selling my jewellery from a shop in town. I have not yet been brave enough to do a craft fair, but I have my eyes on one in October and then it is a matter of doing some Christmas fairs to get my name out there. Below you can see some of the things I have made, and I will be posting my finished items whatever they may be both on Instagram, Facebook and here, planning on going a bit more in depth here for whoever wants to know more:) So, here we go:) This was a commission, made up of peacock colour freshwater cultured pearl nuggets and silver-plated copper stardust beads and findings. It consists of a ring, ear studs, bracelet and necklace. The lady who ordered it absolutely loves it:) Below are so...

New Year, New Home, New Outlook!

Ok, so I have been very bad with writing on my blog...I am slightly ashamed... I do however have a reason for it...This last year went pear shaped, and I lost myself a bit. Firstly in March, my husband failed his final exam for the first time, causing a lot of stress and worry. Secondly, we lost our gorgeous baby girl Tara, our almost 12 year old GSD...she was in too much pain in her back and back legs, she was dragging her back feet as she had no strength to lift them to walk properly on her pads. This caused her to wear down her claws so much that she was bleeding on one occasion. After this occasion we made sure to walk her only on the side of the road so she could drag her feet on grass instead of asphalt. At the end of April 2014, we sent her across the Rainbow Bridge, to join her friend Darwin whom we lost in December 2012. After this awful event, things were quite tough at home, and as if that was not enough, my husband still had to study and practice for his final exam. He ha...

Slimming World update!

I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY!!! I lost 6 1/2 pounds, which means I have reached my 1st stone milestone:) I am so surprised but happy...I have gained 1/2pound three weeks in a row because my period was 3weeks late. Now my period has come and gone, and it just shows how much my body is affected by the f***king period...  (and those stars are hiding REA and nothing else...lol) So, tonight it is Nando's dinner...chicken, coleslaw and ratatouille (or perhaps some lovely chips) to celebrate weightloss as well as payday...I do normally let myself enjoy a nice treat of some sorts after my weigh in...that way it is easier to stay on track the rest of the time...:) I am getting on with my Siamese cats, and am about halfway through with the white, and once that is done I am finished and can make them into a cushion cover:)
