For our Icklie's in Kenya.

Been slogging away for the last ....... well seems like forever...... making stuff for our Church Bazaar, this lady was called upon to run the Cake stall, this was on Thursday evening when i suddenly realised that although we had advertised a cake stall, i had forgotten to ask anyone to make cakes! luckily for me Bonnie to the rescue........ not fazed a bit she got on the phone called a friend a hey presto she pulled it off and we had 30 something cakes.... Yahoooo fanx Bonnie.
This stall raised £90 pounds for Kids in need [KIN] Then came the Raffle table, we ran out of space to put this table as so many stallholders turned up [more than we had actually invited!] so it ended up on the stage, it was crammed full of stuff, i had made a few hampers up using baskets and boxes that i had gathered throughout the year, the large Hamper in the center was won by a lady who was in tears [of joy] ............a very worthy lady........ Ooooh i love this bit of our day.

This stall is called "The Grace" table, its made up of gifts given over a couple of months to help raise money for our Icklies, people give us some lovely stuff someone donated a Gold bracelet! as it was donated specifically given to this table we knew it had to be put on it ........... Oh but i was so tempted to Auction it off............ norty shabbers...... lol..... the point of this table is that every ticket is a winner.......... whether it is a Gold Bracelet or a cuddly toy.......... all it costs is £1 ......... yup a Squid....... i know............. unberblimminlievable .......... and yes the Bracelet was won ................... by .......... i dunno i was to busy selling the flippin raffle tickets for the ...erm.. raffle.:-)

Here ya go this is the labours of what i have been making............FOREVER ......... or so it seemed, yes there was loads of nicked idea's and a few of my great friend *Bloomin Myrtle* gifts for our kiddlie cause [please go look at her blog, as she has amazing talent]

There was every bag you could think of, loads of Pinny's & Mother and Child pinny's..... cant see them in the picture, but they were there somewhere............ Cushions, blankets, Peg bags, bags for tights, stockings, pin cushions [thanks BM] in fact there was so much stuff that the table was groaning under the weight [we had given up our table and purloined the music box bit in the corner of the Church hall] so sorry Ben for nicking ya centre..... yo yo yo [that's MC DJ talk, init, janowaimean].

So what i wanted to tell you all is that we made a grand total of £400 Squidddddddoooda's ........ YIPPEE..........

Thanks to everyone who helped bring this all together i am forever inbebted to you all, i also want to assure you all that every single penny will go to the Children in Nakuru.

Makesit & Spensive

Its Gunna be like this tomorrow.

YIPPEE

I have got me sledge out, the *Westies Huskys* are all harnessed up.

Should be a great weekend.

"Its beginning to feel a lot like Christmas"

That reminds me.

I went to the mega 20% off sale at Markit & Spensive yesterday.

Did any other eejits go, or was it just me..... Hummmmm

I was pushed pulled and even dragged into aisles i have never ventured into before!

It was a mad house, and i become part of that madness!

Its amazing how much you really, really, need that size 8 multi coloured Reindeer cardie, even when you are a size 16 and it cost £45 squid BUT IT HAS 20% Off! Bargain....... and it WILL come in handy.

Yer never know i might befriend a *skinny bint* or lose 14 stone by Christmas day.

Whajafink, will i, wont i?

My M&S Christmas Tree.

Poem.

[no its only supposed to look a bit like a flippin Christmas tree it ain't real]

Ahem.

I began to feel icky

Bit Sweaty and dizzy

Waiting in line to pay

For 300 sock a yellow pillbox

600 knickers, 400 slippers

a pigeon for dinner

sprouts and some stuffin

In other words i came out wiv nuffin

A basket of stuff some of it rough

Me and son Paul are doing a stall

Down in a market, where we will park it

Sell all me stock for a pittance of what i paid

I wish at home.................................... I'd stayed

Do you know how hard it is to make things rhyme,

I'm doing my best to make it funny,but i fink I'm loosing the plot,

So that's

MY

lot.

See i made it look a bit like a tree.

Use your imagination, Beaches Dollop Lacey Sharie.

Its only a blog not a flippin national daily..I ain't getting paid or nuffin.

.......... sheesh...........

This crowd is harsh

and

I am only ONE

woman

Wedding Dress Duty.

Went up the *Big Smoke* today.

.......................................BIG UP to the big Smokey type fingy.............................................just a bit of london talk...............

Anyhow i took my Darling Daughter Dan to have a fitting for her Wedding dress [well she actually took me *shame*].

We got in the shop and waited a few mins for Daniel [he's the one who is gunna make the dress].

It was heaving with rain and as we waited we were saying "oh poor people out in this torrential downpour" yeah right, no we weren't really we was killing ourselves laughing at them all...... lol.... for getting soaked [evil titter]............ lol. No you had to be there it was funny honest lol ho ho ho ho...lol ha ha ha ha....... Anyway then this little streak came diving into the shop absoblimminlutely *Drenched* plimsoles squelching and all slippery we giggled and gave him marks out of 10 for drenchedness...... then had a squid's bet on how quickly he would fall on his botty while trying to negotiate the slippery wooden floor............... giggle............. Ooops ...... only turns out to be Daniel.......... oops again sorry Daniel! we dont want you to damage yourself now do we! ....hummmm.... well not till you have made the dress at least.

It was funny seeing him taking all the measurements with his Plimmies all squidgy...lol.... every time he walked he made a funny noise........... squelch squelch flop, slup slup plop............. no you had to be there honest, it was funny..... no it was honest............. lol

The shop is called "The Fairy Gothmother" they have a good website so go and have a reckie ..... though its a bit rood in places they do some wonderful Basques.

We came out of there and headed into the square for some Dinner and guess what? Yup......... we got ............ ABSOBLIMMINLUTELY
DRENCHED..................... i bet that was the Norty Gothmother fairy telling us off............ squelch slop flop plop...................... mutter mutter..................... norty angel............ yeah but i'm gunna get that fairy and when i do i'm gunna knock her block off .............. flip flip flip "ARRRRRRRCHEW" anyone gotta tissue............ snot all over me screen now........ewwwwww................

Shabby to the rescue.

I was minding me own business, as i do.... [leave it lactic] ......when a flippin car decided it was time to leave the road and head for the big knackers yard in the sky and thinking it could take its occupant with it......... tsk tsk.....not on my watch... you just know ya cant leave someone bleeding and making a mess on the upholstery of the car apart from the stain it gets into all the nooks and crannies......... ewww ..... and not even one of athriftymrs potions could get that out of a good shag pile.
Well the car couldn't be saved but thankfully the man who was inside could be.
Now i am no hero but for some strange reason all my training kicked in........umph..... i was out of my car first aid kit in hand and through the stricken windscreen like a ninja on speed .......... [for those that know me that is no mean feat] ....... looking into this mans eyes bought back some memories and autonomy leaped into action, getting a neck collar on him and getting under him so i could take his weight, then undoing his seat belt and lowering him out onto the ground was all done on Adrenalin............ why did i go into that car? why did i get him out? why did i hurt my freaking back.............i dunno, all i know is that when someone is hurting we do things that we wouldn't normally do........... why did i post this.......... because, even though i worked for years as a paramedic and saw things like this and worse every day............ i am still shaken by it and needed to get it out.......... feel better now, who wants a babysham they are on Dave he is OK and promised me a drink, i excepted saying "only if i can bring me shabby mates with me" see even when I'm doing me wonder woman act i am thinking of yous lot.............. funny that.......... oh and Dave broke a Leg and his Arm and needed 24 stitches in his head, so apart from that he is OK.

Get better soon Dave and don't forget the drinks are on you...........

May you be Blessed in all you do, loved by all who know you, kissed by the gentle wind, warmed by the strength of the Son.

Much love to you today on this special Birthday and always.
