Exciting pictures of boxes

I had the best start to the day. After dropping naughty people off at school I whizzed up to Tesco to return some crubbish children's clothes that don't stupid fit - right length but too tight or waaay too loose. ('Scuse me but just where are these odd shaped children that clothes are designed for? Seems boys are meant to be incredibly porky and girls incredibly twig like.)

Any road up - got to stupid Tesco and checked in bag for receipt.

Whizzed back home to get receipt.

Whizzed back to Tesco.

Returned clothes in upstairs clothes dept after waiting 5 minutes in downstairs customer services queue before noticing the (v small) notice telling me to take returned clothes upstairs.

Went back downstairs and got a few bits we needed.

Got back to car.

Realised I'd forgotten a major item off the list.

Found trolley.

Went back into stupid overcrowded shop.

Bought six cheapo sweat-laboured pillows.

Home via bank.

It did improve, fortunately. I started to get my 'shop' together for tonight's school fair. Soooo looking forward to it (!) - if it doesn't chuck it down with rain (which will stop everyone going to the fair) we will be outside in the nice dark playground. A little case of a rock and a hard place.

Ho hum(bug). Minx is so very excited about helping to run Mummy's shop and has told everyone at school about a thousand times, so I would have had a hard time backing out!!

Look here's a box:


Please don't zoom in and start shouting at me about my prices. I know that most folk will, quite reasonably, not be taking wads of cash tonight so have priced these little bits accordingly. If I don't sell anything I won't cover the £10 it's costing me to keep my daughter happy!

Here are two more boxes:

I've undertaken a little 'presentation' job on the table mats I made yesterday. If I do say so myself I think they look rather darn gorgeous and wish I had some!!

I've also gathered together the supplies for Dad's hamper. All I need now is to find a more attractive receptacle in which to present the goodies.



If you don't like small furry critters - look away now!

DH presented me with one of the gerbils whilst I was busy faffing around undertaking research on the internet last night.

This rather pretty young man is Mr Nibbles - the gerbil belonging to the Minx. As you can see the Moog was ready to catch him if he made a run for it!!!!


I now have to go and whizz madly round the house doing a very quick and superficial tidy before fetching the naughty ones back from school and giving them a sound beating ;)
