2010-11-12T11:16:00.000-08:00

Here she is {she's the one on the left} thats her brother Ralfie.

Her name is Ruby, but her stage name is "shabby angel" she weighed 600g when we got her, she now [today] weighs 800g {may have to put her on a diet} she is 5inches high and 6inches long.

She eats, poo's sleeps and eats some more.

This is two of the un-furred grands holding her [we don't photograph the furred one anymore].

I dunno about yous lot but i think everyone should own a Pugbug.

s'nice in'tit.

Well i know you cant actually see much but when its finished its gunna be a 5* Chook abode.

As many of you will already know, i single handedly, on my own, by meself, alone, saved a gazzilion chickens from the chicken coop in the sky, i had some helpers of course, but if a jobs worth doing etc.... *giggle*

i am the proud mummy to 5 rescued chickens, they are currently lodging at my nieces house in a secret location in Cambridge.

Its secret because as you all know i am a very private person and don't want every Tom Dick or Harry looking to steal then ransom me chooks.

Anyhow they are called.

Mayday...or should that be SOS..:)

2010-05-03T12:44:00.000-07:00

As some will know i reached the ripe old age of 40 this past March and i must say i am beginning to feel me age..

I know i have ages to "do" stuff but i suddenly realised that i seem to be missing out on loads of "life" as the saying goes, it all begins at 40.... so i am gunna start living the wild life, i don't wanna turn 50 and still be a ......erm ......50 year old.....ahem .... person, now do i....

A couple of years ago, when i did the London Marathon, i found that all that running was chafing me thighs, as i didn't use lycra then, i went out this year and bought a strip of it and wrapped it round me left thigh.... bugger me if it didn't chafe like a bear! next year i shall have to buy another patch for the other side..... anyone know if they make Lycra bras!

Also since doing Avatar, i have appeared in another blockbuster called "How to use a Tin opener with only one hand" its rumoured to be an Oscar winner.... I don't like to brag but i know that this time i am gunna get the best actress award. Its about a politician who tries to open a tin with one hand! its classic cutting edge stuff, honest it is....

I also won the other famous country fingy, you know the one for the best vocalist..... it was between me and Winette of course she's good, but, bugger I am so much better, i sang "i'll take the duvet from the bedroom" and had them in tears... Oh and Dolly came up after the ceremony and asked me for my autograph.... i said i would send her one when i redo her next album...

And Wrapper MCMchammer asked me to write him another hit song, but i dont have time. Did you know i have to write the next National Anthem, prince Philip wants something with "Rule Britainia rules the suburbs" and Maj wants "Run down the road with ya kecks in the air, like ya just dont care" I much prefer Her Maj's version, dont you.

Just off to take Tyson to the rink, i'm only doing 10 rounds with him cos me lumbago is playing up tonight...

Can ya tell i'm bored...... i also wants to know if anyone even looks at this blog anymore...LOL

Alleluja...... found me camera...whoopwhoo.

2010-01-18T14:26:00.000-08:00

I have once again found the lost camera!

did that make sense?

Anyhow i did and i have got some corking photos to show ya.

This picture is at a Bloomin Myrtals Christmas fair....

It was packed with lovelyness, if she hadnt have stopped me, i would have bought the whole lot! honest i would, stunning stuff.

Everyone should own a BM Original.

Look at that bit of gorgeousness on the manaquin, i made that... and all the yummy bunting, i made that too.

I made these too and those...

Look at the sleepy angels.... i made them.. and the reigdeer........ i made them and the gingerbread houses.

I was blown away by the quality of BMs makes, she is a talented lady, if you ever get a chance BUY one of her makes, they are DELISHOUS.

This is our Church Bazaar

This is me (in the blue cardie) rummaging, the lady beside me is Flo, she is a nice old dear, we go to Bognor twice a year...... me in June...... Flo in November.

Britney (shes the one stuffin her face at the back) is relaxing after her shift at the Sugar hut...( you have to live here to understand that)

They sell stuff for Romanian orphans, they have to raise £3000 a month! bugger! they always manage it.. Bless em.

I knitted all these over a weekend.

Rag dolls....hummmm not keen... i didnt make these.

This is the Raffle and the Grace table..

I had a wonderful Weekend with BM and her family [my goodness has she got a mossive family!) they are the kindess people i have met, i was made to feel at home within minutes of getting my feet under her table.

Thank you Mrs BM Mr BM and Miss BM.

Oh, i can relate to this!..

2010-01-02T13:23:00.000-08:00

I couldnt find a picture of a one toothed woman.... lol.... he will do, you get me drift.

I wanna scream now and this is the bestest place to do it........ *scream* ......... yep.. i feel better for that.

Dunno if any of yous have ever had a toof ache? and if you have, its never been as bad as this.

I have searched the house for a pair of pliers, do you think i can find any! bugger, for a bloke who has enough tools to build a gazzilion sheds i cant find a simple pair of toof pullin pliers!

I found a screwdriver a hammer [i have put that somewhere handy] and a all singing all dancing up to the minute laser fingy but no Pliers.

So here i sit a short piece of string hanging off the collar of a very reluctant West highland white terrier........ Ok after three.......... One............ Two.............. ang on...... im not ready.........

Three.......

Ooops .......... BUGGER......wrong toof...... *gulp*

Happy New Year all. :-)

2009-12-30T04:02:00.000-08:00

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.

Thirty years Married!

2009-05-30T08:26:00.000-07:00

The Button hunt is on.

Well i have been on the search for what seems like months, for a button, Lastic kec's over on *Lace Hearts* is making something, probably something really horrible, but i have tried my hardest to find something suitable, well as you can see i don't have any buttons.

So i really don't know what to do!

I have looked everywhere........... nuffin!

I looked in every nook and cranny......... nuffin!

Eventually i found the only buttons that seem to be in our house.

Perfick.

Don't fank me yet Lastic, co's i am still deliberating which ONE to send you.

Whayafink. :-)

2009-05-20T11:17:00.000-07:00

Bloomin Myrtle sent me this Delicious bag, i love it :-)

As i am a numpty, i have put the pictures round the wrong way. tsk tsk....

The first picture is inside out as i wanted to show you the details, it has a gazzilion pockets a little fingy to put my keys on, did i say "I LOVE IT"

Anyhow, it fits like a glove.

I have bad shoulders and neck and cant lift my arms to high [violin playing in background] so always have problems buying/using bags.

Well our lovely BM came to the rescue with this little number.

Thank you so much Elaine, I love you so much. <3

See how pretty it is, the right way round.

BM's attention to detail is second to none, she makes everything perfectly.

When i grow up i wanna be Elaine.

Earlier in the week i was admiring Sharie's http://viewtothehill.blogspot.com/ blog and happened upon these lovelies, so i begged, pleaded and sold my grandmother for a fiver so as sharie would give it to me..... and bless her heart she did! how kind is she! [actually Sharie offered them to me! i didn't have to ask, isn't blog land the best place ever.]

I ALSO LOVE YOU SHARIE......

Go look at her blog she is such a great blogger.
[Don't look at the chipped nail polish, i have to go buy some remover stuff]

I wanted to show you the detail, ickle beads, so sweet.

MINGERS

MINGER

MINGER

There will be more gorgeousness coming soon........

Thank you Mr Singh.

2009-05-07T07:55:00.000-07:00

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....

2009-04-30T14:15:00.000-07:00

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*

Random Pictures.

Oh Look pretties............................................ lol

This is a picture of the rain.................. nice init.................. lol

After the big question

[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.

All was well that day, Beany and Danielle had the time of their lives.

*I love you both*

But NEVER touch me craft stuff again.................... ever.......... Mummy

Absent minded cook.

2009-04-14T13:30:00.000-07:00

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.

2009-03-30T23:51:00.000-07:00

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".

It looks like blossom in the picture, don't it.
Very pretty.

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...:-)

2009-03-28T08:53:00.000-07:00

2009-02-25T23:58:00.000-08:00

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.

2009-02-22T06:36:00.000-08:00

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. :-)

2009-02-15T06:08:00.000-08:00

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.

I like these.

Not 100% sure about this one though it very scruffy iykwim.

These are a bit sweet too, whajafink.

Another bag, getting a bit bored wiv these bags tbh.

Now lactic, BM, Pip etc all your allowed to say is ........hum ..... Nice fings, Co's i ain't no Martha.

But i am trying................ yeah i know, very trying.:-)

A bit of a ramble.

2009-02-08T12:17:00.000-08:00

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..............................

2009-02-02T10:29:00.000-08:00

Well i ain't gunna be caught short, Do i have enough food for a small army? can i rustle up a 10 course meal with wine, candelabras etc for those who may need a warm bed and hot meal? after being snowed in the bus stop across the road? so with this in mind.............. i panic bought this morning.

You never know how long these snow blizzard fingys are gunna last, could be as long as 24 to 48 hours!

I sent the kids to the shops yelling as they went....................

"Go to the local Corner shop, Bag as much stuff as you can..... come home and stash it in our "Secret nuclear bunker" that is in the Garden, if that's full, Dig a hole".................. WHAT THE ECK! WHY, OH WHY, are we all going out buying anything and everything that has a food label on it!........ do i really need 20 litres of milk! no of course not............. but I'm still gunna buy them :-) Because its in my nature to buy every blimmin tin of Spam, Jelly, Instant whip/potatoes, tinned octopus in spring water etc........... its just gotta be done.......well....Hasnt it! ..... or am i the only panic buyer!......... lol.......i do hope not!

Lime jelly anyone........... hummmmmm

I fank you Laj.

2009-01-30T01:04:00.000-08:00

I was reluctant to put this award up because the blogger who gave it to me is seriously *NUTS*

She is new to blogging and has a lovely sense of humour and I'm sure that this award was given to me because of that sense of humour...........

Anyway......... *Painting New Memories* Or Lajoni

I love you too.

By the way Laj is right too give me this award, Because i am a

*BEAUTIFUL BLOGGER*

But then again so are YOU.

I am a modest person and don't like to big myself up [no sniggering].

I have decided to share this with you all *smile* [see how kind i am] but only if you leave me a message telling me why you think...... I deserved this award, yes, you read it right! why *I* deserved this award........

Now this should be interesting.......*giggle*

So come on spread the LURVE.

Tsk tsk!

2009-01-27T10:43:00.000-08:00

The perfect award.

When i was writing *Great expectorants* i was completely aware that i had talent, and was a writer wiv great potential.

Then when i wroted a *Midwintersnight Dream* i knew that it was all about the words.

So whenever i write my blog, i am acutely aware that others draw inspiration from those "Words"
If you are new to my blog, please draw from it what you will, take the richness that flows thought the strands of communicating that, like silk, wrenched from the worms warm body [see that was clevererer writing words] my words, slither off the page into the great bin of life, keeping the reader totally confused and yet, sadly wanting, nay Needing more!

Anyhow enough about the perfect diction from me and to the whole reason for this post.......

I nicker-ted your Award.........nah nah nah nah nah.

>>>>>>>>>>>Running at great speed, incase Blissy finds out>>>>>>>>>>>

Well deserved award.

2009-01-25T23:45:00.000-08:00

"The authors say that blogs who receive this award are exceedingly charming. This blog invests in proximity in space, time and relationships. These kind bloggers aim to find and be new friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandisement. Our hope is that when ribbons of these awards are cut, even more friendships will be propagated. Please give your kind attention to these writers."

Thank you Mary Poppins

Thank you Bloomin Myrtle

I am so sure i deserve this, i don't know why or even what it means? but I'm sure i deserve it....... :-)

There a mountain of people who, i believe, also deserve this award, i don't know who they are ......... lololololololol

Right, lets see........

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday Dear Anthony

Happy Birthday to you.

I remember the day you were born as if it were yesterday, i have never known such pain!

24 hour of freaking agony, i felt as if my womb was being ripped out of me by some person with a red hot poker type fing.

As i cradled you in my arms, i thought that this was the worst day of my life, here you were all squidgy and soft with the perfect smile [soon wiped that off your face] a button nose, the bluest of eyes and an olive skin that a supermodel would be proud of...................

Hang on a minute.......... Olive skin! that cant be right, and those eyes were blue yes, but they had a yellow look to them that was slowly getting darker and a deeper yellow!......... humm.......... what the ecks going on here i thought? if i had not just watched you emerge like the creature from the black lagoon from my body, i would have sworn you were Chinese!

That was when you were whisked away from us and we were told you had Jaundice.

I remember being beside myself with sadness and cried as if my heart would break.

Yes, it was the worse day of my life, thinking i may lose the most precious thing in my life, yet it was the best day of my life, because you were born and yes you thrived.

Your are a flippin huge Rugby playing man now.

You are handsome you are gentle, loving, caring and kind and have the world at your feet.

Your Mummy's little soldier and always will be.

I thank God that i have been Blessed with Beautiful sons [oh and a beautiful Daughter...... tsk tsk...... fancy forgetting......]

Happy Birthday Son.

Maureen Dawn Hamilton

12-12 2007

RIP

OK not a great subject to be blogging about but this is my sister Moz.

She was a beautiful woman, as nutty as a balm cake but beautiful just the same.

She taught me so many things, how to dress elegantly, how to apply make up,

How to get as much out of life as i could, without working to hard for it.

She was a tough old bird, she could take Artex of a wall just by looking at it.

She would tell us storeys that kept me up with nightmares every night, she knew how to manipulate any situation to work to her advantage.

She was a stubborn woman who had princes and sheiks dripping off her arm and pledging their undying love for her yet kicked them to the kerb.

She was a glamorous woman who had the world at her feet.

She died a very painful and distressing death one year ago today and she was all alone.

The one day i couldn't go to her after years of sitting by her bedside waiting for the end.

She took the hero's stance and refused to have anyone contacted.

She even chose the time of her death! well i like to think she did.

She died at 12 noon on the 12 day of the 12 month.......

You old boot you could have died in 2012 because that would have been well dramatic.

We are parted for a moment, but one day i am gunna bug the life outta you for going so soon.

So older sister, i will see you again and i will slap you really really hard for leaving me.

The article is about her if you want to read it, but beware its hard hitting.

Thank you Heather. [again]. Mwah

Oh i just love my Shabby Chic mates.

My mate Heather

From

[Biker boots and chicken feet]

Sent me the most amazing November *Sparkle*swap.

Can you imagine getting this big box of goodies from a strange man on the doorstep

who is telling me "Don't open it til Christmas Mrs or bad muck will befall you" bad much what has muck gotta do wiv anyfing...

Anyhow i digress.

Snatching my parcel from the postman and hastening to the kitchen.... i found the 12inch carving knife and squirrelled myself into the conservatory, shutting all the curtains, while closing them i noticed Mrs Nora O'S'Ea twitching the nets, silly woman as if she will be allowed to see my goodies... Mwahahahahahaha..... NEVER I SAY.... NEVER!........*for dramatic effect*.

Dampening the lights i ripped off the wrapping in a snarling tigress kinda way, revelling in the beauty of the cutest wicker basket delving inside this is what i found.

Eight pressies all beautifully wrapped in gorgeous thick paper...... scrummy.... i have a thing about paper, i lurve it............... soooooooooo much.

Lookie what was inside.

First thing i noticed was the wonderful smell coming from a little white bag filled with *Sparkle and shimmer* Vanilla fragrance beads..... oww wow we should have smellablog..... its delish.

There was cute pink glittery slippers, a stunning hand made Christmas stocking that must have taken ages to make.

An angel hairband [that i shall be wearing at the Christmas dinner table] with two baby angels dancing on it, so sweet.*smile*

I also got a very..... very posh bottle of dishwasher sparkle aid

[flippin dishwasher never had it so good] lol.

Look at the picture above, i even got a dog collar..... that i shall be wearing on

New years eve

No I'm not going to a party but i like to dress up on occasion...... lol.

Look what i shall be wearing to Lincoln market on Sunday
My very own angel hat.....
YAHOOOO.

Last but not least, this card, that i shall treasure forever.
Thank you so much Heather you made my day.
Bless you for your generosity and love.

Ooooh i love this bit of our day.

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].

2008-11-21T00:04:00.000-08:00

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

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.

2008-11-08T12:42:00.000-08:00

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

Shabby to the rescue.

2008-11-04T14:24:00.000-08:00

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...........

*Special lady*

*Bloomin Myrtle*

I have never met you yet you've been a special part of my life for at least 4 years now, i am so glad we met i couldn't imagine my life without you in it.

You have always been there for me, never told me off [though you probably wanted to on many occasions] Your shoulder is always ready for me to cry on. [bet its sopping wet by now].

There is not a selfish bone in your body you will give time and effort to those who need it.

So Elaine, Thank you for being my friend for caring for loving for sharing and for always giving more than necessary.

One day we will meet [and hate each other................ lol] till then i am proud to call you FRIEND.

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.

Goodbye Cake.

2008-10-24T08:40:00.000-07:00

I wanted to show you a cake i baked last month for friends who are moving back to Australia, i don't for the life of me know why they would want to they have been here for 30 years! And there are all sorts of igly wigleys in Australia *shudder* some people don't know when they are well off.

I have refused point blank to visit, no way do i want a fourteen foot Tarantula climbing up the dunny whilst I'm having an ablution! they are a little lala if they think they are gunna get the shabby over there.

Anyhow, this is the cake and i am going to demonstrate how not to upload pictures onto blogger................. in reverse...........Stupid angel. tsk tsk.

This is it when cooked

This is it in the Mixer fingy

This is it in the packets.............dont laugh, i was doing this as a favour, and this is how it was given to me, i would have made it from scratch but the person [who shall remain nameless TINA] didnt have faith in me making it from scratch!!!! so she bought PACKET MIXTURE ........ lol

These are the utensils i erm used, well i couldn't remember if i had to use the dough hook, the whisk or the other fingy so i used all three.

I would just like to say to Dave and Jill, Bon Vouage, Bon Vouch, Bon Vouche... erm ... sod it ........ GOODBYE from good Old Blighty.............. hope it rains in ya Summers and snows in ya Winters i also hope you get the lurgy and homesick and have to come back here co's we is all gunna miss you........................

WIN......... Doh

2008-10-15T06:56:00.000-07:00

I Thought you may like to see what us WIN ladies get up to.
We like to get the Oldies together at least twice a year, mainly so we know they are still alive .... no don't look so shocked, its a shame to miss a good *Wake* for no reason, if its a Crisp and Sarnie Wake we sometimes send our apologies, well its not worth the shoe leather on all that gravel, see those old girlie's up the back of the tables [i think they are all still alive] they are the eldest members of WIN the eldest is our Margaret she is 86 and unless she is off gallivanting on holiday, comes to WIN every week, ain't she sweet. *smile*
Anyhow, we have 4 official WIN meals a year Spring Buffet, Summer Sizzler, Autumn Buffet and Christmas Shenanigans [i just made those names up! Gosh I'm good].

I think the youngest member of WIN is only 21 now and she has been coming for two years!
I have to say they are a wonderful group of women and i can honestly say they are all my Mates.
Look at that scrummy food and you may note how i have taken that first pic's from the Pudding end, lol.
These evenings are always funded by us we don't ask anyone for money, our girls bring there friends along [all free] they stuff there faces and get a few glasses of wine down their throats and then i sting them into buying a raffle ticket, *Pand a strip* is my cry *git ya Many aaat* is another and it works, we raised £150 for KIN [Kids in Need] last month, yippee.
This is some of them turning up for the fun, they needed to get in early so they could get all the bestest seats.
Now to pay for all the things we do all year we have to raise funds, we do this in a number of ways. On of the things we do is snag some unsuspecting person to host one of our many fun days [its not much fun for the host as we trash the house and garden. lol] they usually make cakes and biscuits and put out doily's and stuff! mistake, because all the oldies come out of the framework for those sort of goodies............... funny how oldies can eat.
This lady opened her Garden for us [she has been a part of WIN for about 3 years] the things she is guarding are all donated for us to raffle off .........*Git ya many aat..... pand a strip* .....local artists came and bought their wares to show. About 70 people came that day! A 20pence entrance fee was collected and everyone enjoyed their time with us. So that's a bit of refinement in the Shabby window of life , oh and a we made a eck of a lot of money that day. Thank you so much Sue. and errrrm sorry about the mess and all those beer bottles.............s'nuffin to do wiv me.........

Shabby swaps

2008-10-06T10:04:00.000-07:00

Over on the Shabby Chic forum we do a monthly swap, i usually put pictures up on the forum but thought you might like to see them, so here goes.

This is from Annie C, i was so excited because as you can see everything is wrapped so neatly and prettily in Gold, Whoopee, see the envelope the Gold one, well inside that is the most loveliest angel, she is so sweet and she is mounted on a easel, how good is that!
Under the envelope and tissue paper is so much Gorgeousness, there i a lovely Blue plate and a scrummy hand made bag there is even a Welsh Cookery book.
I think i have been spoiled whatdayoufink.................. lol........... thank you so much Annie, I LOVE IT ALL.

Quilt for Kids in Need.

2008-10-02T05:11:00.000-07:00

Thought i would show you what i have started on, yes its a quilt, yoohoo, i am making it for KIN [Kids in Need].
I want to raffle it off and make loads of money for these little ones, but as i am pants at making stuff i thought if i told you all about it you would keep reminding me to keep at it.
It's funny how i always assume it will be Minging and nobody will want it, :-( and that gives me an excuse to stop doing it......... so please nag me to bits about this as i know what i'm like.

Thanks for your support.
I took a couple of old Christmas cards and cut out the templates for this project.

I then took my monthly bit of Yummyness book, I love it cos its the only bit of style that comes through the post box, well this and the nectar points catalogue............. lol. :-)

I then cut all the boring bits out of it and made little bits for the middle of the fingy fings.

I then chose the colour, all scrummy pinks............. 1 shirt, 1 pair of jammy bottoms [knicked for DD and she dont know yet, well i have only taken one leg off, tsk its not as if i have used it all] and a shirt from my Ds1............... he wont miss it and its the perfect colour, i just had to have it.

Shame cos he loved that shirt. LOL

Last but not least a piece of dark pink fabric i purloined a few years ago.

Those scissors are what Bloomin Myrtle sent me for my Birthday, and i lurve them so much.

PLEASE NAG ME TO KEEP IT UP.

Love and hugs to you all and fanx for visiting. Mwah. X x X x X

2008-09-11T07:25:00.000-07:00

Today is a day of reflection for me and many others throughout the world.

A moment spent, in our world of years,
Pain on faces, eyes full of tears,
Images hard to describe, of pain and grief,
Lives stolen, by the "Death-thief"
As leaves fall onto the ground,
new life grows and a love abounds.
No more the face of life's end, drawn near,
no more the pointing or the fear,
Just hearts that beat with love for those gone,
Oh for so long.
A life on earth so soon discarded,
Taken by the hardened, hearted.
all this takes place....... why....... it takes so long,
For all the loved ones to grow strong,
The sadness that comes just makes us hunger,
For love to grow out of the grief,
for the one i call.
Death thief.

11th September 2008.

angel.

Today i cry for all those lives taken.

spuds

2008-09-08T05:43:00.000-07:00

Look at these Lovelies, i made the mistake of peeling them but it don't matter, they are boiled, oiled and spoiled, but it don't matter, salted, peppered and ready for the oven.

After an hour i put my secret ingredient on them, Can you guess what that was?

After another hour they were a bit over done, but heyho OH got them bits anyhow so it don't matter, does it.

I of course overdid the Rib eye as i had parceled the veg in with the meat that got a bit soggy as well, but hey it don't matter, it tasted wonderful.......... oh yeah i also used chilli oil instead of normal oil ............ it don't matter Cos it didn't hurt going in or coming out. lol.

That last Photo should have been first.............. i dunno what happened but ........... hey ho etc..

Thanks lace Hearts for nearly getting the award for the best spuds, but i think i pipped you at the post with mine............. tra-la ........................... lol

Jellybeans

2008-09-06T06:37:00.000-07:00

You know when you fancy something to eat that's all scrummy and full of calories, well after having raided the fridge and all the hiding holes that you usually sling the odd manky Christmas After eight in and whatdoyafind ..............................................squiddly dit.
Well that happened to me this morning, needing a sugar rush the only thing i could find that resembled a sugary substance was these "The Original Gourmet Jellybeans" fresh-ish from the *Big Apple*.
My darling eldest son often brings home sweets when he has come home from Sunnier climes and they don't usually last past the "Hello how was your trip Darling" but for some unexplained reason they were still wrapped and IMO needed to be scoffed.
After battling with the wrapper with scissors and eventually secatuers i dove in....................... cor blimmey .................. have a word ......................... PLEASE WHAT IS WRONG WITH SOME PEOPLE........................... Garlic flavoured Jellybeans!!!!!!!!!!! what's that all about!!!!!!!!!!!! Minging thats what that is and Jalapeno Minging, Root beer Minging, Daiquiri Minging, Popcorn Minging, Margarita Minging, Cotton Candy ummmm not bad ................. 40 totally different flavours............... Why? ...................... what happened?
After Strawberry were these people looking at the spice rack thinking "Gee Honey how can we pee the people off, hummmm? i know lets sling a Chicken tikka mazala flavour in there Just for a laugh" "What about Blueberry, Cinnamon, Raspberry? Honey" says the female of the species " Nah, THEY MAY LIKE THEM" now that had to be a bloke! a woman would never do that to another like minded, sugar needing, woman, well would she, tsk.
Sheesh what are the Criteria to be a sweet manufacturer? one of them should at least be TASTE................ tsk.
On the back of the box it reads "Each flavor is unique unto itself" [No! you don't say!] " Hey try mixing them together and make yourself a cocktail of flavor" [yeah like that's gunna happen] "each box promises to generate excitement among your friends and family once the box is opened" ...... [Na, more like a punch up] now, i like a joke as i know we all do BUT .................... THERE ARE BLIMMIN LIMITS.

I'm off up the shops for a Mars bar, i need a Sugar rush...................... still.

Newt award.

2008-08-30T11:32:00.000-07:00

Another award for the

*Shabby angel*

from

Missy Blades on "Dancing on a blade of grass"

[see side bar]

She knows i am extremely intelligent.

To show how she really appreciates my input, has awarded me this much coveted award, please note it is an original and it will not be awarded to anyone else ever, ever again.

To prove how much more cleverererer i am than anyone else, she gave me this wonderful accolade, it is given with much love and reverence for correctly identifying this rare and notable long haired, short nosed albino Newt.

She told everyone in Blogland that it was of the lizard Genus!

I knew straight away that Sandie was in error, when she stated that this was in fact a Lizard.

I was onto this fact like a rat up a skateboard, "No" I said, "you are wrong Sandie"

I explained that it is in fact the *Newtanditsicki*

Seldom found in Lizardous places.

This newt is native to any old garden with a bit of moisture in it.

There, i have received it with as much humbleness and grace that i could muster.

I thank you Missy Blade for your devotion to the Shabby angel, i humbly except that i am undoubtedly a worthy recipient of this award, I thank you.

Non-sence, more of the same!

I thought i would give you the benifit of my many years worth of medical knowledge to tell you about a little known ailment called "inonuffin" or "Wasntme" this is only found in one in a billion angels, yet its found in many a guilty person.

On speaking to my 9 year old Granddaughter, i asked who had put the satsuma down between the cushions of the sofa about a month ago last Friday, now my Granddaughter must suffer from this ailment co's straight away she said "wasntme" when asked if maybe she knew it was she said "inonuffin".
Now take heart, there is a cure its called "tellathetrufforismackeryabum" it is a new concept in medicine and in trials but it seems to be working..........................

No child was hurt in the making of this mockery.
All children were suspended by their toenails during any interview whilst being bound and gaged till their parents came home and released them.

Lol.

Dan & Beany's Engagement Party

2008-08-11T23:28:00.000-07:00

My Daughter Danielle had her official Engagement party on Saturday, she got Engaged to a lovely bloke called Paul, [because we have a Paul already we call him *Beany*].
We had 2 marquee's a live band [Son Paul's band] and about 150 guest's, we had a great time and played *dodge the flying debris* and *How long can you hang on to the Marquee pole, before your your fingers go blue*also another game that went down well was *Bobbing for Burgers* the BBQ was soggy to say the least, lol.
The youngest Granddaughter had the right idea.

She is snug as a bug, Bless her.

All the pretty things i had hung up got blown away or soaked and shrunk, the candles were too soggy to light, the bunting that took me weeks to sew is still hung in the tree looking very sorry for itself, lol.

The Band had to be squished into the *Summerhouse* [though they were the only dry people in Bentwood] they played wonderfully even though their eardrums may take time to heal.
Especially when Danielle gave her rendition of *I will always Love You* in fact we all wanted to pelt her with rotten eggs, but couldn't find any...........................
The cutting of the cake was lovely Beany was all excited and liked the romance of it all.
Dan got over excited and decided to squish it in his face........................ That's my girl.

Then the kiss.

It was a lovely evening despite the rain and the wind, even all the effort that had been put into the decorations had not been wasted, if it had snowed we would have loved it, disappointed, No Never, I am a proud Mother of a Beautiful Daughter and a Handsome soon to be Son in law.
All i ask is that God Blesses them both in abundance and they live a happy and healthy life together for many many years.

Shabby angels serious post [wow you wont see many of these, lol]

Miss Phish.

2008-07-27T08:54:00.000-07:00

Woe is me.
Oi i said "Woe is me" is nobody listening!
Tsk Tsk, i dunno i nearly died last week and nobody even noticed, what has a girl gotta do to get noticed round here?

Well anyhow I'm back now so sit up straight and no picking your nose while I'm talking, that goes for you Undi Wearus.

I was talking to a student in my class the other day about uniforms, i suggested a nice tartan plaid with a symbol of the bagpipes slightly squiffy over the right side lapel, well you would have thought i had asked for a gin and tonic in an AA meeting.
The student asked why i would suggest such a thing! i dunno i replied but i have always wanted to be Scottish, silly moo, we don't have to have reasons for wanting things, do we.

When i was training under the President of the United states of America [i cant tell you which one as i would then have to kill you if i did] i asked him if all peanuts grew on tree's he replied, "yes mam they surely do" now there is times in my life when questions are better left unanswered, and i think that was one of them.

I was in a competition this week for a vintage cushion cover, we all had to tell a joke and the best joke would win the coveted cushion, i told one or two of my mostest funniest ones and i just knew i was gunna win. Knowing that NOBODY was better than me at anything, i humbly asked the generous Miss Phish [who was running the Compo] to allow someone else to win the old cushion [i didn't want it anyhow Miss Phish, so there*sticking tongue out] she was adamant that i should win just because my brilliance should be shared with the whole world, but i refused and said, "No allow some other poor less fortunate person win the accolade".
So miss Twinny goodie two shoes won it..................... with a *notatallfunnyjoke* about a pig and a flick knife, i ask you, i'v never heard anything so silly, [I'M NOT BITTER].
Boysmum3 played a corker and others like Bloomin Myrtle were just plain silly, Lastic kec's was not at all funny and Trixietreacle well i wont comment for fear of reprisals, Ellieweb's needed work and i cant remember Sandie's at all so it must have been Boooorrrring, lol, still its only a silly competition and I'M NOT BITTER.

Rare Dickensian Pictures.

2008-07-15T10:50:00.000-07:00

I thought that would get your attention, Lol.

I found these up in the attic the other day, there is a set of 4, they look like Pickwick Character's but I'm not 100% sure? so i had this brainwave, stick them on your bloggie blog blog and see if there are any intelligent peoples out in the land of blog.

So is anyone up for a bit of erm, whats the word I'm searching for, hysteric's? no, Historionicks no [that's so silly], is there anyone who may have an inkling what they are?

Fanxs.

I dont have a time machine ya know and if i did i wouldnt be writing this now would i!!!!

Chookie wasit fingy........

2008-06-30T05:47:00.000-07:00

What with all the chicken talk on SC recently, I thought it would be a great idea to get rid of this piece of obshadark.

There are many people who have a healthy obsession with these chooks....... they are normal everyday people.... no they are really........ who, to give them there due, would not normally indulge in obsessive objetark such as this little minx of a caddie thingy, but I am going to try and seduce them into believing they are on to a good thing with this piece of cra..........crud..........c......lovely woody thingy.

I would have you all believe that this beautiful, 3rd century Roman relic is the epitome of its class, its lushness could not be compared to anything you would have seen in any other place at any other time, we need to keep these chookie things part of our heritage and not let them fall into the hands of.................................... the superpowers that will want to destroy us all while we sleep....................oops sorry where was I? Oh yeah into the hands of dealers who will just want it for its monetary value and not for its decadence.

So it is with great pleasure that I offer it to the world of *Chookers* on the wibbly wobbly webbly Thingy.

Leave a comment in the comment box and I will get back to you....... if I can be bothered [yawn] ......... later with the result of who wins this piece of Objuxtart.

S'classic init..............go on you know you WANT it...........Look into my eye's......watch the thing on the end of the stringy thingy............you will have a hankering for a CHEAP OLD CHICKEN BOXY THINGY....................... you will plead with Shabby angel to give it to you...........you will wake feeling refreshed and want to give all your possessions to me and all your Vintage lace to lastic Kec's all your other stuff to Treacle..................BM will give me all her Rabbits...........Pipkin will give me all her button hearts..............Debbie will do all my house up next weekend.......... CTC will give me all her Leathers.......Claire will make me copious amounts of soup..............Diydeb will do my every bidding............................... Sharie....erm...... You can make the coffee..............I AM SO CHEAP.................lol............LOL.....................HAHAHAHAHA.........Insane LAUGHTER............

Flippin Flu.

2008-06-16T09:57:00.000-07:00

I have got the blimmin Flu, and I'm sure that Bloomin Myrtle gave it to me, she confessed to me today that she has been sneezing all over Her tappie, so now I'm suffering the worse case of flu ever, no one has ever had such a bad case, they have quarantined my sofa, I have had the world crisis people in they are amazed I'm still lingering on, if you saw me you would call a priest, then the undertakers.
I have heard that poor trickle trish has had it to, though nowhere near as bad as me, obviously.
I have been taking the new drug Paracetamol, I think I am the first one to be on it, I'm trialing it, so thank me if it works, I'm only doing this for the greater good you know, and only under strict medical supervision, apparently the Doctors are waiting with bated breath to see whether I will survive the ordeal.
Lazy lacy has been lazing about all week doing nothing, I have tried talking to her but she just wont listen, she had a man come in and do a bit with a couple of chairs and a table, they were ok, nothing to shout about, but she has told everyone that its all her own work! we can see right through you lacykec's you cant fool us you know.
I must rest now as I am waning, I shall be thinking of you all, and watching for your sympathy cards to start falling on my mat......................gough.........splutter..........gasp..........sneeze, Oh my goodness, now I will have to clean that screen...........................tomorrow.

Part two [Yawn]

2008-06-07T00:31:00.000-07:00

Morning you two, said Trixielips, where are you off to? we are going to the sales, wanna come with us.

Hello, said Pipkin, we were going off to dungelms, Bloomin says there is a load of gingham fabric in today, so we wanted to get some to make more bunnies, puppies and boots.

Ok, lackie said, we will come with you, but you must remember not to push and shove Bloomin you can get a bit carried away.

Oooh, eck Ya riht ya know, aye can at that my lovie, aye can at that.

Why are you speaking like that Bloomin, said Pipkin!

Dunno said Bloomin, I thought because I'm from Yorkshire I had to! [reads script again].

Ahem, Oh dear you are so right, one can get a tad over zealous when perusing the merchandise, cant one.

Why are you now talking all posh, said Pipkin, puzzled!

It Say's here [looking at script again] speaks in nice accent, posh is a nice accent isn't it?

Yeah said Pipkin, but that's all "Joanna Lubblyish" and it really is not you, Bloomin.......................

Cut, says the director, Come on Girls, get away from the mobile canteen, Lackie put that sausage sarnie back you have had three this morning, Trixie get your eye of that young man's booty, get back to work the pair of you.

Take Two.............................. and ...................action, said the director.............................

Ok, Lackie said, we will come with you, but you must remember not to push and shove Bloomin, you can get a bit carried away.

Ok, said Bloomin, umf.

Just as the girls got to Dungelms, Lackie got all excited, Look Look, It says, Knobs two for a pound, that's a bargain must go and look, hold on said trixie I just remembered we have all forgotten today is an important day, how could we all forget!

Forget what said Pipkin and Bloomin in unison, Oh No said Luckynicks Its Mollymops Birthday today, how could we have forgotten, quick lets all go get her a pressie.

CUT.............Said the director, that's not in the script, what if people look on this bloggie blog blog tomorrow, it wont be Mollymops Birthday then will it.

All the girls looked at the director and scowled, don't be silly Director person, when Mollymops knows she is in this scene she WILL come in and leave a comment and then we will be Famous, think of the ratings.

Just then they hear an sound that sends Chills down each of their spines......................

Coooeeeee you lot what are you all doing here?

Bloomin, Pipkin, Trixielips, and Lasticnicks, look round in horror.

What are you all doing here?

All looking flushed and shocked they replied Hello..............................................................

"The Flight of the Shabbychic-ers"

2008-06-04T13:21:00.000-07:00

"The flight of the Shabbychic-ers"
The story unfolds

There is a sudden downpour and Lacy nicks looks out of a gingham draped window in despair, after a week of being couped up re-covering a full set of 22 chairs and a foldaway Ikea table, she sighs, nothing is going right, "this is to much" she tells herself, "How will I ever get to the boot sale in this weather" a knock brings her out of her reverie, opening her front door she See's her old friend Trixilixie, "Hi Lackie" trixie drops her sopping wet coat on the newly sanded and polished hall floor, floating into the kitchen she switches on the new coffee grinding machine [£52 in Argros] that lackie legs picked up from eway for 27p, pulling a habigat mug from the habigat mug tree, she made them both a steaming hot coffee, "Cheer up Lackie" trixie tries to bring her friend out of her sullen mood, "Nezt has a home sale on" Hearing this great news and knowing that the Nezt sale is a wonder of the seven sales, she is immediately transported to a place she hasn't visited for many moons, "come on girl, get a wriggle on" we only have 7 days left, says triixielips.
But Lackie is stuck in time, searching for an image long ago put aside, suddenly its back in a flash, "I have to find my Nezt voucher" she hurried to the newly decorated [in Lauren Ashby newest colours] under the stair closet, pulled out the basket where all her memories of Full fat laite's and cream doughnuts are kept hidden from all but her eyes.
Picking through the receipts of long gone promises, she finds the golden ticket to true happiness, a £5 gift voucher for Marks & Expensive she says in a happy tone, that she has not been able to use all week, "Look see, trixiechops, B*gger Nezt, lets go splurge out with Marks & Expensive" so forgetting her golden ticket of true happiness she settles for the ninth wonder of the material world.
Just as they were hurrying to Lackies car [they would have taken trixiepits but she was having a service done that day] they spied there new bestest friends, "Hi Bloomin Myrtle, Hi Pipkin, Where are you two going....................................................

2008-06-04T06:14:00.000-07:00

And the winner is.............Raspberry Grace............Yeah, well done Rasp.............you won the billion year old Teapot.

Go Rasp Go Rasp Go Rasp *dancing round the room knocking stuff over at random*

You know what to do, Send me a pm over on Shabby chic or leave it here, I don't mind, but if you do I cant be held responsible for all the nutters that may or may not send you all sorts of rubbish and stuff that you really wouldn't want to get, think of your poor postman trying to fill his sack up each morning that is going to be well full to bursting with junk mail indispersed with bank statements and fliers from the local Curry house, pizza parlour, dog groomers etc, and what about auntie Mabel's letter that she only writes once a year as her arty ritis wont allow anymore than that, it may get lost in a hallway full of letters newspapers and yellow pages not to mention the local advertiser, that nobody wants or reads, why do they do that! if I wanted a paper I would buy a blimmin paper I don't want them slung on me mat every week and do you know they use child labour to disperse the local rag, £5 squid a thousand, its cruel! that's what it is, cruel.

Anyhow whatever is fine with me.
Bless you dear Rasp. MWAH

2008-05-29T01:24:00.000-07:00

This is another giveaway with a difference, its not the shawl no its the "teapot" isn't it sweet. its about 400 years old and I dug it up from the forest of Narnia when I was there on a "save the whale" weekend in 1994, I wasn't "Saving the whale" at the time, but they had a great line up of half price wellies.
Anyhow, while I was foraging around in "never neverland" I happened upon this 500 year old pot! I glued it all together and found to my delight it was still in perfect working order, Oh, happy days, we had nettle tea and some other stuff that made you feel like the forest was moving in weird ways, then found out you were slightly attracted to a Whale called willy, I dated him for 3 weeks before I realised that actually I couldn't swim, so I was forced to end that relationship. Luckily the pot survived, now sadly to draw a line under the heartbreak of my "Holiday romance" and with regret I'm putting it up for grabs.
So this 600 year old teapot may adorn your table. All you have to do is leave witty comment or two.

I hope your all well and truly shabbied.

angel.

Here comes the Bride.

2008-05-27T13:37:00.000-07:00

I was overseer........... now when I say I was the overseer,...........................No, forget it I sat on my booty, and watched, while Neat worked her socks off, and then, I took all the credit.....................Lol.
The Bride was so pleased we even got a mention in the speeches..................you should have seen Neats face when they said my name first............It was classic........ she looked like a suffocating fish out of water............lol. [Bugger, I hope she don't know about my Blog]. anyhow I got all the credit for all her hard work.

Lummy, blimming heck now what I gotta do.

I feel a migraine coming on!

2008-05-23T02:11:00.000-07:00

Apparently I have been *Tagged* by lacy knickers on Lace threads, [I want that Crunchie Lacy].

I have to answer 6 Questions and give Honest answers. {yeah right, like thats going to happen}

1, what were you doing 10 years ago.

I was living with the Sheik "Ya Bellie" in the remote village of aggoooggoniiioooow, its a small town near Bayswater, we have 64 no 65 children and I remember sitting on the local wateringhole called *roundabouty* its leads to the 16th wonder of the world who's native name is *emtwentyfive* meaning "Many will come and sit for hours at a time" it has many brothers and sisters around this remote village. [one of its sisters is called *emione*also known for its sightseers] YA and I sat with all 66 children and decided that they needed to learn the wisdom of the Ford, so Ya gave his wealth of knowledge to the little ones, ah such fond memories, little shyte24, asked his papa, how can you tell a Capri from a Cosworth Papa, Ya replied fondly "Little shyte24, look at the sticker in the back window my child if it says *Knocked off in Hackney* its a capri, if it says *Knocked off in Harrow* its a Cosworth, my son".
YA has an amazing insite to such things " I tell you it bought tears to my eyes hearing his words of wisdom.

2, 5 things on my "To do list today"

1, Get up.
2, Drink Coffee.
3, Turn on pooter.
4, Eat.
5, Sleep.
6, Send this off into the wibble wibbly webbly just so I can annoy everyone.

3, Snacks I enjoy.

I have a particular perchance for the Glandus antus rectumious, it has a suptle yet distinctive taste, akin to the nosyparcarus gland, yet won't leave that nasty after taste in your mouth.

I also like Chocolates and icecream and M&S Prawn sarnie's oh, and jelly, cake, s'pecially fresh cream cake, flakes, roast potatoes, chips, broccoli, mars bars, cake, rice pudding, cake, I dont go in for snacking as you can see, not much tempt's me.

4, Things I would do if I was a millionaire.

Marry another millionaire, silly question really!

Oh but first I would have a face, bum, leg lift, plus a tummy tuck, breast implants and new hips and knee's.
Then give loads of my new husbands money to Charridee.

5, Places I have lived.

Here, there and everywhere, but mainly here.
I once lived in a town north of Catmandu but they threw me out for drug trafficking.
I had snuck in a pack of 16 paracetamol and got caught, it was my own fault I should have stuck them in a condomonium and swollowed them, but nothing would ever make me do that!!!!!

6, Now what was no six, oh yeah sorry to have to put you through this.
Who am I kidding I cant wait to read your bloggies.

2008-05-21T23:47:00.000-07:00

Oooooh Aaaaaaaah,

This is nice, its about 62ins long and about 40ins wide, I have had it about 3 years.

While on a shindig to South Africa, I happened upon this piece of gorgeousness.

I bartered with a lady who was about 140 years old, she had very arthritic hands, Bless.

It was a traumatic time for me, yes I felt sorry for her knobbly hands and yes I knew I had to offer her a reasonable amount for her efforts as she had spent a year hand weaving this piece and thought that £35 was reasonable for all her hard work, pain and suffering :-( now I on the other hand wanted a bargain. Oh what to do!!! pay her for all that toil, or grab it out of her gnarled hands and leg it.

I took the second option and high-tailed it up the road as fast as my legs would carry me.

Yes I was caught, nothing wrong with her pins not a gnarl or a nobble anywhere!

She had me in a headlock that "Big Daddy" would have been proud of! slung me to the floor handcuffed me and dragged me to the local police station, where I spent two years in a cell no bigger than a very small swan Vesta box, starved and near to death. gasp.

After those long years, whiling away the hours, playing the mouth organ in scorching African heat and chatting with a kindly Rat called Colin, he had the goodness of heart to share his meagre food with me, bless him.

The old crone had a change of heart and asked the judge for leniency I was freed [after paying the initial £35 plus tax] to come back home to blighty. I was re-united with my cloth, thank God.

I feel have a lot to be thankful for, Colin without whom I would have gone mad maybe even started talking to myself, Thank you dear Colin wherever you are.

So Its with pain and sadness that I get rid of this lovely throw, table cloth, scarf wosit, but some holiday memories are just that, fond memories.

Leave a comment on here or on Shabby Chic forum and I will pull someones name out of the hat soon.

This is a fabricated story, not to be confused with any other story I may or may not tell later on, I am heartless and need medical help but I am desperate to get you all looking at my blog, so please keep looking in and tell your mates, I need to get rid of all these things as the house is overflowing with tat, all comments gratefully received, and laughed at...............................God Bless X

If only we knew then what we still dont know now.

2008-05-21T09:13:00.000-07:00

Thank God for, Miss p ellch-ecker,

I am not one for worriting about what my mother tried to ram down my throat as a small child "You need to stop skivving and go to school" but have found that during my adult years I have need of an eloquence that is unbecoming of me, as you will find below.

I should have heeded her sagely advice.

I cringed at a letter I found, while scavaging in my loft recently

I had sent a letter to a friend, thanking her for the wonderful gift, she had sent to our then, small son.

It read like this.

Dear neata, ta a lot for the prescent you give us for anthony he will have yeares and yeares of fun triing to fill it full of his liitle peenieys like what his grandad gave him yesturday and he mite get moor from others in the corse of the yeare he is a goode son and has his dads eays but my mowth.....................................................

Now I kid you not this was an actual letter that I had written after my sons birthday party, the funniest bit was [ hang on, I have to giggle sorry, Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha] when reading through this letter at the end of it I seemed to have a waynetta Slob moment...............................
buy the way neata we ave spelleded his name anthony and its got a h in it after his grandad love XXXXXX angel and antony. LOL that just kills me.

All I can say is Praise God for spellcheckers.

Mum if your looking down on me now, Your right I should have gone to school and not bunked off.
angel

"angels shabby giveaway"

Now I have worked hard to bring you all something of great value and sentiment, this is a greatly admired piece of eclectic art desired by many, yet, only now has the true nature of this work of art, come to the top of the art worlds "Must Haves" List.

It is with a bit of sadness, that I have decided, to allow others to feast on the pureness of the Form, of the model's words that have been frozen in time on her lips, it needs appreciation by many, it would be very unfair of "shabby angelTM" to disappoint others, if you put class and taste out of your mind I am sure you would admit this self portrait of "shabby angelTM" would go a long way to hotting up any dinner party, or a Friday "after kebab" nights in.
I certify this to be a true likeness of "shabby angelTM"

Be quick if you want her, this is a never to be repeated once in a lifetime offer.

Terms and conditions apply, no animals were hurt in the making of this film, the director broke a nail but after hospitalisation she is back at her desk, the blogger excepts total responsibility for shoddy workwomanship, the office of fairtrading has been informed of "all over the top allegations made by shabby angel" she is also on the FBI most wanted list, if you see her do not attempt to apprehend dial 999 or if USA resident dial 911, all rights reserved. thank you for entering into the spirit of this give away. be safe be shabby.

2008-05-16T16:31:00.000-07:00

This is a true likeness of me I had it done specially ahem, by one of those Photographers on Southend-on-sea beach front, as you can see the monkey escaped, apparently there is a reward out for him, he was last seen legging it up the promenade, with a packet of chips and a shandy under his arm, he answers to the name "Joyce" and should be approached with a cheeseburger and a fizzy drink.

Next time I go to have a picture done I am going to ask if they wouldn't mind shaving a few inches of them hips.

Have a shabby day.

Shabby angel is a blogger
