and there s no roaring log fire either there s a naff gas fire which we pretend is real but the rabbit has eaten most of the fake coal because he has a charcoal obsession he s also eaten through the fairy lights cable so there s not much twinkling happening either more of an it s electrifying moment and i can t afford cashmere we huddle under a crochet blanket i made but the kids have pulled it apart cos crochet isn t my forte so there s a gaping hole in the centre i can t often watch nice films as the kids want the tv for their x box this is why i fantasise anyway i want spring now proper spring snow even hopeless amounts brings lethargy and hunger or is it just me i just want to sleep and eat a sort of hibernation if you will lots of hot buttered toast and mugs of steaming tea but in reality spring should be here we should be waking up and feeling alive alive where are the blue skies and gentle frosts which melt under a warming sun where are the lambs it s easter in a couple of weeks and i for one am concerned i always go lambing at easter and i haven t seen one woolly blighter go away now snow we don t require your services anymore and i m not just saying this because all my family in somerset have a snow day today and are sledging and guzzling hot chocolate honest look at the feeble snow charity shops items here include my daughter s red hat her coat and my skirt the faux fur coat was donated to me by my mother in law making the most of half a centimetre here s sweet child on saturday morning as the snowflakes slowly swept their way over to us this was a week ago and it really did feel marvellous and warm come back please sunshine you re missed posted by gem at 05 46 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday 21 february 2018 the old ones are the best evening all how cold is it tonight blimmin arctic i ve been a busy bee bumbling around the charity shops recently i bought a pink coat originally from boden for 4 it was one of those i m not sure moments but i haven t worn anything else since and can t imagine life without it i love charity shop purchases like that only problem is that everything from the high street then seems so over priced when you are used to a bargain i saw a dress today for 20 and i was like twenty quid it s daylight robbery is that which of course it clearly isn t here is my coat ooh and the shoes are from the scope charity shop bertie brogues 5 the sea is my happy place as you can clearly see above thank the good lord you can t also hear me shrieking the waves do that to me i shrieked on saturday when i stupidly turned my back on the ocean for a brief moment and got two brogues full of icy salty sea water i can t stop wearing my new old coat in other utterly boring news i feel so tired at the moment i am seriously considering hibernation until late spring for future years i don t do this weather it makes me weary and grumpy meh i haven t been running for over a week i just can t muster the energy i need to give myself a sharp talking to alone or otherwise i ll look like a right weirdo i also think i m having a midlife crisis i ve started watched the inbetweeners and finding it far more hilarious than i should i keep tittering and i think the husband is finding it slightly irritating he wants question time i want to know when will will finally get to bed a woman but on the flip side i m also maturing because on a monday i hang out with a lovely group of people the average age is 85 we have such a laugh but it s so refreshing that none of it is the smutty humour i get with some of the mums on the school run a few things i ve learnt from my older friends is that none of them are scared of death they all drink very anaemic tea they all believe in god they are all exceptionally bright they all feel 35 mentally and none of them drink alcohol the downside of these firm friendships with a large age gap is that i am scared about them dying as i can t imagine my mondays without them and i can t discuss the merits of bon jovi or gin cocktails but you know what i m happy with that these men and women are a breath of fresh air right i am so tired i m going to sign off now and go to bed but i ll be back soon in the meantime support the circular economy keep things out of landfill and buy more items from charity shops i d love to hear about your fab purchases posted by gem at 13 46 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels bertie brogues boden coat pink coat sea seaside sunday 18 february 2018 i got busy innit honestly i had the best intentions to get my blog alive and breathing with regular updates but then i discovered instagram and first dates and the charity shops have kept me pretty busy if i m honest but now i ve discovered two lovely readers have recently left me comments asking where i am how nice is that so i m back cooeeeeee this will have to be brief as i m tired from a hectic but wonderful weekend with my sister who came to stay both of us woke up from a late night out feeling rather fragile but good fun right what s been occurring since my last blog post well i m older not wiser more haggard more tired trying to get fitter midlife crisis attempting to run badly think phoebe in friends i m obsessed with blueberry muffin flavoured naked bars i gave up refined sugar in june last year but have lost zero weight prob due to the naked bars and we have our first family pet a semi house rabbit who fancies me big time i think the pom pom on my slippers gave it the wrong impression as he now thinks i am his mate for life and that i have a fluffy rabbit tail first the butterfly paul and now another creature has charmed his way into my life i never thought i was a rabbit lover sure thumper was cute but milo is more puppy than bunny come on look at him feast your eyes he is just recovering from being castrated which i hope will calm his hormones down he was way too horny and i love him just not in that way y know those freddie mercury teeth just don t appeal so it s like having a fourth child in the house and i have a teenager and a tot and an eight year old boy in the middle so its all rather hectic but i will get back into blogging it was so nice to be missed i ll be back again soon with charity shop purchases woeful tales of naughty children oooh and i ll tell you about my new bunch of friends half are in their mid 80 s and we have a bit of banter every monday right i d better stop rabbiting on posted by gem at 14 07 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday 9 september 2016 i believed he could fly so the butterfly affair or what my kids refer to as mum s weird moment we got one of those butterfly garden sets where you buy a butterfly netted enclosure send the included voucher off to the company and within days you receive a pot of five tiny caterpillars to be honest i wasn t all that impressed we ve done the butterfly project before it s sweet but it s not life affirming this time we watched those teeny creepy crawlies transform into well hairy beasts really they got huge after a good few days they turn into chrysalides and then it got boring for a few days but then the magic happened and a new relationship formed between me and one of the butterflies this was my weird moment gradually each one shed its skin and transformed into a beautiful butterfly all were perfect except paul paul had a damaged wing i called him paul after paul mccartney who was in wings naff aren t i now this disabled butterfly and his painted lady siblings were soon freed into our warm sunny garden four of them took off happily after fluttering around my children and gently landing on their faces all except paul his disability meant he couldn t fly far he stayed put on my hydrangea for a full hour i helped him on his way again but he didn t get far eventually i realised he wasn t going to survive for long in our garden so i decided to bring him into our home and he became a house butterfly he joined in with most things i became rather attached to him but i think i realised i was slightly losing the plot when paul joined me and my friends for lunch one day and then sat on my finger and watched old ab fab re runs one friday night there i was glass of wine in one hand paul on the other he was my actual pet one that didn t have fur to trigger my asthma didn t make a mess noise or bite i didn t even see him poo he was beautiful i saved his life we had a blast here we are actually watching ab fab the husband thought i was a loony but to be fair paul was probably just making him jealous see sadly paul died a week later ants got to him after i tucked him up in bed in his netted enclosure and put him under shelter in the garden one balmy night i raced down the next morning like the boy in the snowman when he discovered his icy friend has melted to feed paul his daily nectar and it wasn t so much walking in the air poor thing wasn t even flying in the air i now hate ants hate them i tell thee but paul if you are reading this you were loved even if the conversation wasn t all that great i guess sometimes looks are everything posted by gem at 13 31 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday 30 august 2016 life is like a butterfly i am back on the blog baby too much time has passed nine months really really i ll be back wittering on about charity shop bargains my love of the sea the daily craziness of life my brief love affair with a butterfly that had a damaged wing being one and how my tiny baby sweet child o mine will be three at christmas how just how laters school holidays mean i m not allowed to do anything for me for more than two minutes which means time is up then psst this is not the butterfly with the damaged wing oh no this is my italian holiday romance butterfly paolo and he was equally lush i ll tell you all about it in my next blog bear with me it will tug at your heart strings posted by gem at 09 27 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday 28 november 2015 charity birthdays and a performance see this heavenly festive jug t his splendid father christmas is a 1950 s vintage bird s eye custard jug my parents have an identical one passed down from my sadly departed grandparents which only comes out at christmas and guess what i have picked up an identical one from the scope charity shop for 1 50 i can t tell you how excited i was when i unearthed it i have always loved this little toby jug since i was a young child he was i believe a limited edition toby jug and my father can remember going shopping with his mother and buying the jug in woolworths at a very young age i have seen copious amounts of custard poured from the top of his jolly head cream for our mince pies and christmas pudding possibly a cheeky beer once as a teenager which was guzzled straight from santa s bonce but i won t linger on that in case my parents read this it is a treasured jug you can keep your black friday shenanigans spending very little but giving something back at the same time is where i am still at keeping things out of landfill being grateful for small things re loving items that others no longer like it makes me happy this is something else that keeps me happy reading christmassy books to the biggest bookworm i know she will be two in three weeks time i can t quite believe it it wasn t so long ago that she looked like this she has been the most precious unexpected gift to us and brings us masses of joy daily she slots in well and the other two love her to bits it s kind of hard not to in other news the princess has turned 12 how she was also a very beautiful baby her birth was hideous and traumatic and we still count our lucky stars that she is with us christmas is rushing closer and i am feeling a little stressed nowhere near completing my christmas shopping i have written many christmas cards but not addressed them not planned much at all it isn t helped by sweet child turning two on december 23 eek and on a final note the prince came rushing out of school the other day and proudly announced he is a leopard in the school nativity play a leopard i thought to myself why do schools have to make it so complicated for parents why an exotic animal hardly festive is it how on earth would i source a costume i can t sew i lack imagination when put under pressure i can t exactly bet lynch him up in a leopardprint catsuit although it would have made a great laugh on his 18th birthday in terms of photos are you sure i asked are you definitely going to be a leopard he nodded vigorously definitely a leopard so i stressed silently within and unpacked his school bag once we got home i found the letter containing details about the nativity play and of course he is going to be a shepherd
