As some of my older readers may know, i am the person who is responsible for helping Santa get all the pressies ready and out in time for Christmas.
This year was a trial, we had a Elf go down with Elfluencia and after that they were all dropping like flies.
I was left to run the conveyor belt and the gift wrapping service all by me self!
Anyhow, because of my selflessness, all the gifts to the children of the world were delivered.
Talking of gifts, i gotted a rather nice Palace for me Christmas pressie, it was off Sheik-Yabelly, he wanted me to have a whole continent, but being the modest person i am....[yes i am Bexibabe.....! .. flippin cheek] i refused, saying "I know i am vury vury special to ya, Ya, but i couldn't possibly specially after the problems i had with the FBI over the Statue of liberty last year.......[how was i to know i wasn't allowed to move it!!!!......sheesh]..... Anyhow, the Palace is called *Buckingham shire Palace* i think? though as i was reading Cath Kidson, *Return of the Gingham apron* at the time and never heard exactly what he was saying... Men can be so boring sometimes cant they.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and Pray that 2010 will be a blessed one for you.

Mr & Mrs
Mr & Mrs
Today i cried when you said "I do"
With pride in my eyes i whispered "Love You"
To have and to hold for ever and ever
Your two hearts now beat as one, together.
So much love in one small space
Showed and glowed from your face.
Be happy together all your days
With God to guide you in all you ways.
Be blessed and loved

Thank you Mr Singh.
I av gust got gack from the dentist, so i am in sock justht a little bit.
Now then, Mr Singh is a lovely man, a butcher by trade, but lovely with it. He is so kind and gentle of voice, he makes you feel at ease, he talks with a soft accent that lulls even his scardested patients into a sense of well being.
When i first ventured into his surgery.......... what now......... hum.......... must have been 16 years ago, i was a frightened young thing, used to having the teeth dragged from my mouth by Mr Dastard of Hackney.......... so it came as a nice surprise to meet Mr Singh...... he has been looking after me teef for all that time. Has been patient with me and never took anything out of my mouth that i hadn't agreed to first.
So, what with he Darling Daughter getting married i slipped into his practice the other month and asked sheepishly............ Oi, Jamial [see we are on first name terms]..... Oi Jamail, giz a set of those gnashers that are white and straight, ya know like the ones on the telly.......... raising his eye heavenward he replied "OK Shabby, sit down and lets have a look what we can do".
Well, he then goes on to tell me how, "Your teeth are fine Shabby, just a little bit of straightening, and you will have the perfectus front teeth of your dreams".... well, that's what i heard..... he may have said ......."You are joking of course, you must be joking!........insert raucous laughter here.. HAHAHAHAHA" .............But i couldn't exactly tell you lot that could i! ...... DOH................. Anyhow, i went this afternoon to have my front teeth porcelainededed [instead of me God given enamel] and as i sat back on the chair, a smile gathered on his lips........... his assistant grabbed me by the shoulders and head locked me into a ........ erm.......... headlockey fing, i was clamped to the seat by what felt like 12 Sumo wrestlers. The room darkened and i heard the whirl of the drill .......... i woke for about 1 minute, seeing the 4 tiny stumps in the reflection of his face mask which sent me into yet another deep ravine of hystericals............ i awoke some time later and was handed a mirror "look at them Shabs" Jamail said, so i did. Thank God i said, it was all a dream, these are my actual teeth, No he said they are a copy of your ACTUAL teeth........... swoon ............... apparently i go back in two weeks for the real ones to be fitted, where once again he will hack off these temporary ones and install the real False real ones............ i think?
M'off for a lie down now........... i don't feel to well................. *Big Toofy Grin*
Now the moral of this story is.................. Why the eck didnt she just elope!!!!!!!!
Off for a bit of Liposuction next week............ i shall let you know................lolololol

Shazza and me....
It is very much a case of shabby meets chic.
There I am in me black size 20 M&S bestest T-shirt, [that was dragged out of the tumble dryer, creased and very nearly dry].
I descended on me mate Sharon [Shazza] for our weekly get together to make suffink gorgeous. On arrival, I was met with the usual snog [on both cheeks] only to be asked.... “are you wearing aftershave Ang?” ...........bloomin eck........ Me!..... aftershave! .......As if…. Thinking back to the two bottles sitting on top the old mans all to cluttered bedside table….. erm .....I think it is D&G for women, ….. but secretly not knowing I may have picked up the wrong bottle?
Now remember that I have had a very quick bath and rushed out of the house with last weeks knickers hanging out of the bottom of me jeans...... hair soaking wet and no make-up, [never wear it anymore, well, the last thing I need is to be called up by the clown association again, and asked if I would be their "Face for Clowns anonymous"… no honest this has happened, believe me it has!]....... anyhow........... off I trundle in the car that has been in need of a wash and blow dry at the local "Tesco stitch you up for all your money while we take over the world….Mwahhhhhhhahahaha” stores. I get to the house Half hour late, and I'm dying for a cuppa coffee, only to be asked if I have got men's aftershave on!………. Bugger..... I do hope not.
Now me mate Shazza always makes people feel good about themselves, she will go out of her way to make you feel comfortable within your own body…… well that’s how she makes others feel, Me, I always feel like the poor relation, she don’t do it deliberately but her bluntness makes me squirm, like today, coming in stinking of aftershave she asks, while your hairs wet, lets cut it off! ........See in her mind she is making it all better?..... to me, she has seen the hastily half-washed out conditioner, that is shouting from my head “PLEASE RE-RINSE ME”..... she has an inner knowledge off whats wrong with me! maybe because i am always asking .... “whats wrong with me?????”……wail.
So out come the shears and off comes me, over frizzed, over heated, totally awful, neglected hair , within two minutes of the scissors coming out something else had come in and taken her mind away from and off my coiffure! fearing for the safety of my ears I grip the sides of the chair and stay perfectly still, After what seems like an age of her gesticulating with comb and scissors......... her focus is back on me barnet…..Phew.............. Thank God…..
,
Shazza is a Gorgeous Sleek woman who has Ghoochi Eyes, when she crys, Diamonds tears cascade down her cheeks, while grime drips from mine. She has a solid gold spoon shoved up her nostril ..........unlike the McDonalds plassie one I have shoved up mine.
She knows the difference between Harrods and Harry's corner shop, she is a woman who has traveled further than Saffend, she has danced on sandy beaches in in warm humid country's with tall drinks that hold passion and suffistication. while the only dance I have done was the “Boots up side your head” at me sisters wedding in 1984.
Can you see, there is a pattern emerging now, aint there?
Don’t get me wrong I would never change shazza for the world, [and not just because cant afford a real hairdresser] she is always there for me and holds me up when I fall, she has been a real rock in the foundations of my semi detached council house lifestyle.
There are few people on this earth that you really gel with, me and shazza are super glued in the life of cruel friendships.
Now where is that sticky stuff remover.......................... *smile*

Wedding fingy watzit
Random Pictures.
Oh Look pretties............................................ lol
This is a picture of the rain.................. nice init.................. lol
[the one where she said yes.... keep up...sheesh]
Dan organised an engagement party!
This is Tasha [being held up by Danielle] they had spent the whole day messing up my craft stuff with their ......erm.... mess............. sheesh they only had to make 50ish Engagement cards, nearly ruined my scissors, i don't like no-one touching me stuff! but being the mother of the engaged woman i had to let her and her mate use me stuff............ i am still trying to get over it....*swoon*
Then there was the actual day, it rained and all the decorations got wetted! all the pretties looked like sodden rags [and that was before they got wet!].
All my mates from the shabby chic forum donated decorations for the big day, all the things they sent, made the day more special for Danielle and Beany.
There was much checking that the beer was OK, they were lining up to test it, i think beany was on his 5Th pint by the time i took this picture, Anthony is about to beat him over the head with a big stick, he waited so long for his turn.

Absent minded cook.
OK i ain't no Nigella but the family had an unexpectedly nice meal tonight!
I cooked up some chicken with onions and a few spices......... Chili powder........ Ginger.... Capsicum powder ......... mustard seeds.
It was all delish, i had some good comments.......... "um mum, this is really lovely, what did you do different" and "You have excelled yourself this time mum" etc etc............. now this is acclaim indeed from my family!
My usual bumble round the kitchen sometimes gets me a "Fanx mum" so because of the *Niceness* of the said dinner, i decided to investigate.
Now, i really should wear me glasses when i am cooking because i made a few mistakes tonight! Instead of putting Chili powder Ginger capsiwosit & Chinese fivespice in.............. i put in ....... Cinnamon........... Nutmeg .................... and Cloves........oh and i did sling abit of Ginger in... well who would have thunked it, Delish!
I don't spose i should tell them............ whajafink............ lol

We have only just begun.
Christmas eve 2007 at 1 minute to midnight, Paul asked my Daughter Danielle to marry him.
AWWWWWWWWW
He would have been gutted had she said no...... tee hee.......... [ and i would have decked her ;-)]
As it was she said yes.
He took dragged her off the sofa, where she was slobbing after her bath, and clad only in her *Comfies* he blindfolded her dragged her half way round the M25 [bet she was thinking she was being sped off to a luxury holiday to warmer climes....lol...... Gutted.....] so after a half hour of sight deprivation she was finally led into a field and up to an old derelict church on a hill in Essex [mind you that could be anyone of the churches in Essex....sheesh........ they don't look after those places do they]........ anyway
He had decorated a small tree with fairy lights, he stood her in front of it, and probably said something like "Will you marry me".
Thankfully she said "YES"......... *Whoohoo* at which point we all jumped out from behind headstones, Yew trees, and out of Crypts [well to be honest that last one was the MIL....lol]......then Two hundred rockets went off lighting up the Essex skyline, she had no idea we were there *titter* had she known she would have run a mile .
She ..................then spent half hour complaining about not having any make up on!!!!!....
I shall tell you more about this night soon so stay with me.....pweese............. fanxQ...:-)

Just what i need.:-)

Fleeing toot sweet
Thank you a A thrifty Mrs for reminding me this morning of a trip to my local Charadee shop.
You must go and look at her blog as its filled with great ideas, your gunna love it.
Funny A Thrifty should mention this [no, you have to read her post after mine] because as i wandered into the local Hospice shop recently i found pure delishness, i was lucky that day to see that Miss Lovely was on duty, i don't venture in when Mrs Nasty is manning the shop.....*Shiver* [she scares the life outta me]. I rooting about, as is my want, when i happened upon the box of delights called *scrap* some joker scrubbed out the "S" titter....inside was a load of needles and crochet hooks etc... heaven.:-) Anyway at the bottom of the box was another smaller box, full of ....swoon..... buttons! So with fear and trepidation i dove in [is dove a real word or is it a bird?]......anyhow, whilst drooling over all this yummieness and snatching a little old ladies hand away, whilst at the same time nobbling her so that she was under no illusion that these were "my buttons" so she better "move along as there is nuffin to see here woman"........ growl....... don't worry its OK Little Old Lady was helped to a chair a bandage and a glass of Chardonnay [we is posh here in Brentwood] by the assistant Miss Nice.
Mrs Nasty's trouble alarm must have been set to maximum, and as she entered i felt the room fall silent and a chill descended all around ...........
the customers held their breath and depositing their goods back where they found them, swiftly left the shop.......... now it was just her and me....... who was gunna win..... Dun Dun Dern ......... well........ she did, on shakily handing over my treasured box of buttons, she bellowed "cant you sort through them and take the ones you want!" "we get a lot of people asking for buttons, i don't like selling a whole box"..... who is this woman! i thought, why cant she just sell me the flummin buttons, why should i have to sort through a box looking for the prize of that "Special" jewel that i have always hunted/scavenged for! I want to look and savour that moment, in my own home with the curtains shut from prying eyes, not in the middle of a crowded shop!!!! :-(
So after giving Mrs Nasty the evil eye i left my box of delights on the counter, muttered under my breath then scuttled off, kicking out at the old feeble man who had dared to cross the threshold while Mrs Nasty Reigned, leaving him in no doubt at my disdain.........
So i never got me buttons :-( ..... Mrs Nasty still resides at the counter ......... Miss nice is now married to the young son of the *old lady* who is actually a multi millionairess! I found this out while reading the headline in the local paper. *Millionairess in Charity shop fight with button Madwoman* Mafia Sons Seek Revenge!!!!!! Eeeek..... Flip..... gotta go ......... now where is me flammin passport.............

Annie.
Isn't she lovely.
I was sent this beautiful Annie from *Bloomin Myrtle* just before Christmas.
I love Annie's, they are so cute.
She has all the stuff necessary to make me a cake but so far she ain't........ BM you did send her with a recipe book didntja.
How do i switch her on, i have been searching and searching but i cant find the knob anywhere!
She is a bit naughty sometimes, but mostly just shy.
Thank you Bloomin Myrtle for her, she is a real treasure, i cant recomend these Annies enough.
My Grandaughters are besotted by them.
BM i hope you dont mind me showing her off to me mates. :-)

I am a bit apprehensive about putting what i make up here because i am acutely aware that yous lot are perfectionists when it comes to making stuff.
So its with fear and trepidation that i bring to you the latest shabby creations.....lol..
This is some of them all together.
A ickle bag for.........i dunno, its just a ickle bag, maybe for PJ's or suffink.
I should have taken this one at a better angle.

A bit of a ramble.
Chuffin eck.......... spent half the day sorting out Lajoni's blog queries, and lastics Chine stopped working, Giantess wanted me to recover her sofa oh and cooked all Miss Phishes Christmas Dinner [she wouldnt ask but i just done it]. See whenever anyone is in need of suffink there i am........... mazing isn't it..........
Lol, not really, i think what i want to say is [does anyone else feel this way]. If someone is hurting or in a bit of a dilemma we just want to reach out and touch them, take away the hurt the world dishes out to them. It breaks my heart sometimes, to hear things that i can do nothing about.
I think the T'internet is a wonderful medium, we can come on here and have fun giggle muck about live a imaginary life if we want, its all good and i enjoy my time here with you all.
I really just want to say this, even when the tough times hits out at us, or the world does a 360% and we stumble, we can put it down on here, share our woes with each other and not feel threatened, hopefully we get lifted up and made to feel better about things, that's what life and friendships is all about, isn't it, well, isn't it?
Anyway, i have a few things to do now.........Laj get the kettle on love, it looks like we are in for an all nighter..............................
