Jimmy 2

 I will probably upset someone with this one , cant say im worried about that . 

Its as if good old Trump is starting to give off major Jimmy Saville vibes , if your overseas reader look him up . He was a monster hiding in plain site for many years , everybody knew there was something off about him , many knew exactly what was happening but because of his fame and fortune just kept quiet. He had a lot of people he payed off , but he also collected the dirt on other people and used it to keep folks quiet. Within a couple of weeks of his death the money dried up the silenced realised it was safe to speak and the shit hit the fan . Decades of abuse surfaced . Met him on a couple of occasions and he was creepy , he dragged my 9 year old daughter onto his knee when we were holidaying near his cottage and i wasnt moving an inch away from her , as an abused child myself its a spidey sense that stays with you always . His huge gold draped bodyguard stood behind him and i just dragged her away . He was a very old man at that stage . My daughter to this day in her 30s says its her claim to fame "i sat on Savilles knee and nothing happened "

Trump, well do you really think hes an innocent? Daddys money has bought silence for a lot of years and abusers dont get quieter with age. He seems to be able to ignore that teenage girls are children . He has a long history of going legal to silence people . Because your legal system can drag on for years and years people give up or he silences them with threats and money . Screaming hoax all the time isnt fooling anyone , the reason this hasnt gone further is that Epstein had the dirt all across the board all parties and countries so everybody was hoping that time alone would make people give up . Now the big question is will his minions support him ? or will he quietly be suicided or a sudden death . At which point it will all come out . They will deny all knowledge and continue on making billions without him?  Time will tell 

UC the Beginning

So ive waited till we have finally got the Universal Credit sorted to tell you the story . Did the application online with the help of daughter , so that Himself didnt throw the laptop through the window , hes much better behaved when shes around.  We then had to await a letter so we could speak to someone , they wouldnt speak to me , it had to be himself . Lovely and sexist of them !! anyway i was telling him the questions he had to ask and then he had to repeat them to the dweeb on the phone . He managed to get it so that they would pay my carers allowance direct to me . A small victory because of his mental health difficulties and we asked them also to pay direct housing costs to the local council .  We were then sent a letter to attend the local Job Centre for an identification interview and to produce our paperwork , we had to contact them to ask for the appointment at the local office because it has proper disabled parking and access, the one in Lincoln has turned over the disabled parking to EV stations !!! . We finally got this sorted out and attended , himself only managed to hit one room divider on his buggy so he did well , hes struggling with the controls at the moment so taking him anywhere can be interesting. He was also having a shouty day due to his hearing going yet again . Once theyve decided  its you , not being made easier by the fact you dont have a passport , but have fetched every other document on the list , though you only need 3. I did suggest they could always get the security guard to confirm it . Well he is one of our sons..lol  They then print out what applies to your claim you sign it and they witness it .  I think the lad  was baffled when i proceeded to read it before signing it and i pointed out i wouldnt trust the DWP with anything . So far so good . This all takes around 3 weeks .

Then i hear himself shouting , hes had a phone call to tell us we will need to move because they wont meet housing costs if you have a spare room ? i managed to get the phone off him before they hung up and tried to explain that i was his carer and wife at which point the dweeb on the phone goes "hes disabled? " Oh be joyful there is no communication between Universal Credit and DWP  it would seem . Anyway they wanted to speak to him again and i explained that he cant control the shouting its due to a brain injury and they asked a quite reasonable question about why we had a spare room and he shouted that i sleep in there so it isnt spare , because he has night terrors and has tried to kill me on a couple of occasions . Well that was a conversation stopper !!  Anyway theyve now decided we are allowed a spare room!! 

In all the process took the full 5 weeks, we were well prepared , they did keep asking if we needed foodbank vouchers , but then we started to get the letters from the council threatening to evict us because they still hadnt paid their share of the housing costs!!! thats taken 3 months to sort out because they basically kept the money and didnt bother to give it to the council .

Now the other strange thing its that from the day you apply you will be bombarded  online on whatever social media you use, with endless posts about fraud and how errors are all your fault and you will be punished . Talk about paranoia inducing , this is everyday!!  Im immune, but if you had problems mentally this could tip you over the edge. 

Overall we are are about £30 a week worse off  which is what we expected , personally im £12.50 a week better off because i dont have to pay for the privilege of my not spare room  

So Much

 Thats me so much to do so little motivation . struggling to find the urge at the moment im afraid . Tons of crafty stuff to finish, I  have an infestation of sewing machines and japanese vintage clothing along with a huge box of embroidered linen  , from an auction that told me i had won nothing , they then sent me a threatening invoice two weeks later!! Went to pick up and found there was much more than i had bid on . Quite literally there was the kitchen sink and a waterbutt among it . I would imagine it was stuff somebody had refused to take , but once im motivated , it will go to new homes..lol.

Now heres a question , why i have i suddenly become popular in Brazil and Thailand ?  Speak to me whoever you are , or has some weird algorithm lost the plot . 

So once again the prices are soaring in the supermarkets , why do they insult our intelligence by saying inflation is just over 3% its not little price rises , popped into Iceland yesterday and noticed they had a fresh meat offer 3 for £12 looked at the packs and was horrified , there wasnt enough meat in each pack to feed one person , wafer thin barbecue sizzlers  , basically they would be 2p barbecue turds in seconds. The garden however is going well. the mixed outdoor heirloom tomatoes are going slightly mad and the bees love them , along with the squash and pumpkins . Somewhat oddly my big bean row that is covered in flowers dont appear to be setting on at all , potatoes have perked up now we have had a couple of  days of showers .  But thats just gardening every year a different challenge , i was deeply envious of a guy down south who had succeeded with a huge outdoor melon patch , bet he had sweet potatoes as well 

Lousy

 im doing a down in the dumps post , I do wonder everyday what will happen with mommy dearest , if things keep going down hill with her behaviour its full time psychiatric care , the dementia  department where she is is modern, heavily camera monitored  they all have individual rooms and shower rooms , they do lock them in at night and i do think that shes well looked after . But we did look round the very few options when she first came off Council care , they were pretty grim , places with few staff no cameras and that funny smell . Shared rooms are a no no as she did try to suffocate another patient for snoring at the hospital . Plus she has a history of  trying to injure staff and being sectioned . I dont think anyone including the doctors expected her to live this long . They can no longer dose her with anti psychotics because of her heart, they at least gave the staff a rest from her endless abuse , the home is ringing every day about what has happened . If she was a pet we could have her put to sleep and it would be a kinder option for her and everyone around her . Shes not even covered by the new euthanasia legislation . So this could drag on for years or it could  end any second , nobody knows . I wish her GP was Harold Shipman at times . 

Bits and Bobs

Went out for a couple of hours yesterday to the metropolis of Horncastle with my daughter , dragged her to the 50p bookshop and a couple of the stranger antique shops , the ones with the filthy windows and stuff piled up to the ceilings , wandered round the charity shops and bought zilch . I think mr BH had sent her on a mission to find something for my birthday ...lol fail 

We popped into the big garden center and pretty much all the stock was on sale due to the Scorchio and the winds . Came home with one battered outdoor monster and a couple of £1.49 lost label houseplants. Just got home and settled for a nanna nap and the phone rings its the home

Mommy dearest was awaiting the paramedics , once again she had fallen they would ring me back when they knew what was happening .  Half an hour later the lovely David her carer rang back  to say she was fine . But then he can barely get his words out for apologising . He said mother had been spicy all week , he had taken her lunch, which she had thrown at him , stood up to go for him and put her foot in her dinner and ended up flat on her back .  So i then had to reassure him that it wasnt his fault , we are well aware that she is getting increasingly violent it has been noted by visitors .  It does however raise the question of how long they will be willing to keep her if she keeps trying to injure staff .  Full time psychiatric care is bleedin grim in that area . David is a huge Ghanaian but i wouldnt fancy the chances of some wee girl against her. 

Scorchio

 Its a bit warm today , so i was up just after 5 doing the washing and a few chores . Having said that if i dont hoover soon it will be like walking on a gravel path due to the cats just spitting cat stars everywhere because shes mardy and cant handle the heat .

Daughter and adopted daughter nagged me into doing a car boot sale yesterday it did stay cloudy till just before home time , Mr BH said to take the car because he needed the vans and i should have been suspicious when i noticed the battery booster pack in the wheel well and you guessed it got to going home time and it was dead flat and wouldnt start .AARRGGGHHHH  He does stuff like this to make me think i cant live without him.!!! got home and told him even better id driven home with no lights indicator or dash board working . So he had to troop out in the tropical sunshine to examine it . Why was it beyond him to tell me it needed a new battery before i went out ? Well at least id sold enough horrible crap to buy one...lol i never get ahead . Daughter bought a car load of stuff from mothers bungalow shes gradually emptying it ready for it to be sold to pay for her care . Just general household kitchen stuff  , but what gave me a giggle is we had a mini van full of middle eastern families wandering round and mother had a ghastly green and gold dinner service very back to the 80s and a very young girl and her mother didnt even haggle when we told them it was £3  , we didnt want to take it home under any circumstances...my mother would be horrified ..lol   

 

Incoming

 Well i had a belter of a weekend two huge car boots and 2 decent jumble sales, didnt buy very much , half a dozen clothing items plant pots and a very nice Portuguese stoneware vase.

Can you tell i shop when im stressed ? If we are not stressed by current events there has to be something very wrong with you , plus just to make it fun we are slap in the middle of 3 big airbases and a spook station . Its become very noticeable of late that theres a huge increase in air traffic plus the usual screaming jets and the notice was out today that its all night every night this week. We are also seeing much more military traffic on the roads round us . Anybody would think there was a war on .

Ive been trying to persuade the troops here to get their backsides into gear , dip the heating oil tank and fill the vehicles seems to be rational to me , but alas not for anyone else in the household . Must remember to buy an extra couple of packs of bog roll while im out and about , thats good for stress . Lets be honest none of us have a clue what this is all about , its not been done in any of our names , its all about wealth and power , but for most of us , we have grown kids who could be dragged into this , if that isnt a reason to stress i dont know what is 

WTF

 I had to bring this one to your attention . I was looking for underwear and this gem popped up on the Yours site . For a whole £20 . It would be worth buying for the hysterical laughter from your partner . obviously modelled by a size 16 at the most, as are all big girl fashions . Here is Beryl wearing this seasons hot undies fashioned from a McDonalds napkin and velcro.  You just know someone at Yours thought , Love Honey sells really well , lets go into sexy undies . I do somehow think this will be available in the sales shortly..lol 

Why Do I?

Why do I buy stuff from auction just because its cheap ? i do sometimes wonder . I went to pick up my stuff today , a glorious huge Denby vase that never in a million years did i think i would win for the price i payed that i was chuffed with . But id also bough a couple of concrete little planters for a whole couple of quid , so the guy smiles at me at which point i should have been suspicious he then says have you got £3 in change?  can he have it ?.  I still didnt click, so i gave him the money and he toddled of and came back with a huge trolley of every kind of weird and wonderful garden ornament known to mankind . He looked at me with puppy dog eyes and said ...please will you take them , we had a clearout of stuff that hasnt sold . So i now have a van full of the strangest ornaments known to mankind , fairies, ducks, doves , tortoises even a meerkat planter..lol   Himself never said a word but when he pulled at home he said ....Please tell me what the fuck youre planning to do with them ... Ive had a brainstorm and im going to hide them in the beautifully landscaped gardens of the overpriced newbuilds over the road , he seems quite impressed with that idea! 

Quietly Mad

 Today i shall be commentating on the state of the world , so for those expecting veg and junk , turn away now .

Well , what can i say America appears to have lost the plot , battering grannies for objecting to their families and neighbours being kidnapped by stormtroopers . But thats not the whole story theres so many different stories all tied up in the threads we get fed through the news that the truth isnt been told by anybody. Meanwhile whens hes going to deport Prince Harry and the kids ?  Harry has allowed for this eventuality by buying a mansion in Portugal on the quiet , if  he came back here im sure they would try to revoke his citizenship or just post his new address on the internet while withholding his security.  Im sure that the whole problem with Meghan was the fact that she was expected to be the brown faced  token royal and she was having none of it . cutting a ribbon 3 times a week wasnt the job she wanted while licking the arse of the Royals higher up the ladder was never going to happen. 

Greta Thugberg ..oh hum , possibly the most annoying woman on the planet , who in their right mind would go annoying Israel they have become the most genocidal wasp nest on the planet ?  It merely promotes her look at me side , even if she has an ism . She has helped no one but her own publicity machine. Its disgusting what is happening in Gaza , but hey theyre buying weapons and ammunition off us , so those in control will always look the other way.  Its all about money , its always about money or daft sky gods that arent the same as the other sides sky gods .

So yes im sick of the world at the moment , though nobody cares about your views im still going to give them!! 

Knit One

 The weather is once again keeping me out of the garden ..lol  The sun is shining and the birds are singing but its rained for 2 days.  Ive tried to amuse myself inside ive cooked loads of compost repotted everything took loads of cuttings and just pottered around , ive a huge  pile of gorgeous  victorian lace to starch and travel iron staring at me , the only thing i do iron .  The mending mountain to tackle , a whole load of severed Victorian pot heads staring at me , a big bag of miscellaneous limbs and bodies etc etc  i need to send a memo to myself  not  to be horrified when i do go to pick up an auction lot and find that the blue suitcase of broken dolls turns out to be the size of  something that a murderer could store a body in , packed with filthy Victorian baby clothes as packaging .  It was a good value ,who in their right minds would want it purchase and underneath it all was a pair of 1950s Steiff doggies that will pay for everything and then some, that you couldnt even see in the crappie photo .  i also got another mixed craft lot , once again the photo was dreadful , lots of cottons and sewing bits , a big bag of vintage hankies and scarfs and belts , but once again i got a ton of knitting needles im always trying to give bundles of them away to anybody who will have them , ive even used a few as plant supports . I have a complete set of needles of my own that i rarely use just because these days i find it hard work and crochet is much easier on the hands.

Now for another little thought , the world of houseplants . Now himself hates plants in the house and even outside sometimes , he killed most of the ones i had when i first moved in with him , or they died from the cold . Now we have double glazing and heating we can afford just a little of , Im gradually replacing them all . I know what can hack the cold and because we have no windowsills im using ultra cheap LED grow lights that cost pennies to run and the dining room is turning into my little jungle , theres a lot that have come from the car boot but im also addicted to the world of Etsy plant cuttings , for some of the more dramatic and hideously expensive stuff if you search on a regular basis you can find cuttings cheaply , ive stuff that came as a couple of leaves in a jiffy bag thriving .By next year i may have vanished under them all.  

Time

Or lack of it , ive been very busy its peak gardening season and i ended up doing all sorts of daft projects in the garden , we have had grandson here for a few days hindering Mr BH to the point i ended up having a paddy with them both for them both not listening to each other and just sulking and shouting . They have both been hard work and i was relieved that grandson had toddled off to his girlfriends and its disabled fishing tomorrow for himself . It will be sigh of relief day tomorrow after ive picked a load of stuff up from the local auction , nobody was bidding on a bank holiday weekend so i can sort through stuff at my leisure tomorrow , dread to think the pictures were dreadful ..lol

We went to Carrington Steam Rally on Sunday , lovely sunshine but i never took my hood down due to the howling wind , we took a picnic to keep the cost down , Useful son and his fiance came with us , so not a bad day out at all . Now its gone all nice and showery im not having to water stuff which is heaven , but the howling gale is back today and i keep having to chase the washing down the garden . im currently sat watching all the fledglings in the garden particularly the Goldfinches eating the greenfly , there seems to be an awful lot this year , we have tiny Wrens swearing at you all the time how can something so tiny be so noisy ?  The blackbirds keep coming in the house to steal cat biscuits from the food dishes , im starting to feel very witchy talking to them all .

 So thats my boring life this week at least theres a big jumble sale Saturday in Lincoln 10am Birchwood Scout Hut ...see you there 

Monday

 Well another week another fresh start ..lol

Last week turned into a bit of a shit show , went to Ingoldmells to visit son and his fiancé, they were staying there for the week , it was every bit as stereotypical as i remembered though in an update for you all, it now has the same endless market stalls , less fake branded goods and endless stalls of tat they all seem to be full of endless dog boutiques and weed accessories the vaping hoards were all marching round with a couple of nice friendly French Bulldogs being attacked by hoards of Chihuahuas in pushchairs , very surreal . I cant say i bought anything , himself managed a big cooked breakfast and i was trying to stop crying with laughter at a young couple with a baby in a pushchair who were arguing 

"Well you shouldnt have given her such a long ffing name, then you could afford the bloody tattoo"

Himself "ive never seen so many people in buggies " he didnt see the irony as he sat in his buggy or the huge disappointment as we had to leave early  due to his batteries going  flat 

Just to finish the week , we had to shove him in an emergency ambulance Friday , our wonderful ask GP yet again , it was on for 3 minutes so we had to join the bleedin queue to ring them , i barely got his name out told them he had chest pains and she screamed at me to ring 999 and hung up .  We looked at each other and rang for the ambulance , who promptly sent out the paramedics , nice lads as always only took 10 minutes as they were in the area, they wired him up and said we dont think its his heart but we will pop him in anyway just to be sure , as i said the dreaded GPs said we had to ring you but we didnt think it was his heart this time, the paramedics looked at each other and said the name of our surgery and laughed . It would seem they spend all day going to calls from our surgery . I picked him up at tea time , it would seem he has an infection under the muscles of his chest , painful but not his heart so hes just grumpy and immobile at the moment , he cant use his crutches with one arm and hes sulking because he had to buy new batteries for his buggy .

Im trying to build up the will to do a post on the shambolic world of  Universal Credit , its bad and ongoing , i may save it till the end of this saga 

Pulled

 Well its my lucky day today ive pulled , this super keen bit of man flesh is all over my facebook 

Mike William

Kay Chamberlain Thanks for sharing... pardon me intruding, honestly I must say you are gorgeous and charming...I went through your profile and I found you so interesting and worthy of talking to. Your beauty is engaging and ravishing still your smile is captivating and enchanting. I would love to converse more better perhaps be of a better friend. Kindly add me up. God bless you truly....best wishes

Please bear in mind my profile pic is of a very large beardy garden gnome . Is he kinky for gnomes ? does he want my bank details now to save him wasting his breath for weeks ? Hes from Rockford Illinois , so is anyone out there living near him ? Hes been widowed , so someone may have seen him weeping in a cemetery?  Hes a polo player as well . gosh its a good job im not in the market for a turkey teethed toyboy  Somehow i dont think i want him to be my BFF ...lol   it baffles me how people fall for these romance conmen , its like theyre a punishment for being female of a certain age 

Sweet

 Community Pantry week , early trip to Sleaford and home by 10 with a great haul of veg and 3 bags of sweet and savoury pastries , doughnuts apple turnovers those little pizza breads different sweet flavours of croissant, the freezer is bulging . We also got a big bag of fruit and veg . Popped into Iceland and managed to get some reduced belly pork its been chinese marinaded with an ancient pack of seasoning  and once again into the freezer . Lidl was a bit strange they seemed to have altered things yet again , the meat chillers have halved in size the veg section is once again huge like it was before covid and everything else seems to be cramped into smaller areas , they did however have loads of cheap pasties so thats the fishing season took care of once again ..lol 

Another weird question , why does every bag of carrots i buy seem to be riddled with cabbage root fly ? theyre rotten in days so ive got the dehydrator on all the time AARRGGHHH

Now to the fun stuff , having found how little our pantomime dame mayor can actually do , she and the Boston MP Richard Tice have decided they are going to block all the renewable energy projects in Lincolnshire , bit daft really when one thing we have is tons of wind and solar going free if they ever find a use for mud we are all going to be rich. It does make me laugh when theyre moaning about the solar taking away good farmland , the point is that this land was only turned over to farming during world war II  its not great quality , it needs more fertilizer and water that we dont have and the solar farms are good for sheep grazing if nothing else, in fact they grass round them helps the soil structure and prevents our annual dust bowl conditions and improves the air quality. Ho Hum its going to be fun 

Bank

 So we have a Bank Holiday with weather more appropriate for this time of year..lol  Its bleedin freezing howling wind  with glorious sunshine , had to be up really early with himself today , hes gone out for the day with useful son and his newly appointed fiancée to Truckfest so he will be back tonight , tired , crippled and as mardy as his arse . I think the look on my face when he said did i want to go said it all, it would be like me dragging him to a Craft Event..lol 

So i pottered off to Methringham Car Boot , not a huge amount there , but there is an awful lot of them round and about today, couldnt be arsed to go to any others it was just to cold , managed to get one item off  this seasons list a large ceramic planter in deep red for a whole 50p , other than that i bought stuff just because it satisfies my inner hoarder . a box of vintage Bossons flower plates and a Homepride Fred flour sifter when my hands defrost properly i may get around to photographing them and posting them on a forum i belong to .

Now then on to the fun stuff , it would seem that we have a wonderful new mayor from the Reform Party along with a few councillors as well, Dame Andrea must have been attracted to the job by her well known loyalty and public service , I read with interest the job description and yes it does seem like a pointless job for a leach . We shall see , does this mean we will see more of Farage in our wonderful rural area than his constituents do in Clacton ? I wont insult those who have voted them in, they have their reasons and views , im used to being a minority voter and can live with this . I may say i told you so a few times over the next few years  and she does seem to have a way with her finger . May she provide much fuel for my sarcasm 

Meanwhile

 I think ive near gardened myself to death in the last week...lol  but theres a method in my madness , food production must be improved , still loads of stuff still to go in 'my jewel corn has generated a treat , squash is all peeking,  a way to go with my miscellaneous tomatoes that have barely grown but what the hell ,need to source some cucumber plans as mine all just upped and died the other day  , which is a bit weird .  Though i wonder why im bothering with our daft arsed government wanting  to practice shading the sun , thats going to be good for the endless solar farms isnt it? 

In the real world however we have to elect a new Mayor on Thursday, 80 thousand pounds to do exactly what ? totally baffling i cant see why we need one they serve no purpose just another imaginary job dreamed up by the government . As for the candidates a more dubious scrofulous bunch ive never seen , i will vote , Labour seem to have the biggest budget theyre all over Facebook singing the praises of their candidate, all i will say is that i wont be voting Reform ye gods im not that desperate   

Easter

 Well i cant say weve done anything exciting , merely cleaned out a couple of sheds that himself had filled with mountains of crap , real crap not even useful crap , daughter came to lend a hand on her new scooter . Himself is so proud one of them is on 2 wheels . I know i hoard stuff but why would you fill a shed with packaging and boxes?  broken chairs and weird mechanical stuff you have no idea what it is . We found a pile of stuff belonging to useful son , he left over 5 years ago !!  Himself was trying to weasel it back into another shed but he was hounded into  taking it to his sons garage . Daughter was none to pleased when i pointed out she needed to take her fish tank home , shes been left 5 years as well .

Went to a Metheringham car boot but didnt buy much , at all , a pyrex bowl that doesnt fit in the microwave , so it can go back to the boot sale and a Beatrix Potter ornament that i have no idea why i bought it ? Dont know anybody who likes them either..lol Today i went to a secret jumble at Holland Fen its really the bog end of nowhere but we saw a sign last week , it was very cheap and i came home with a plush Gruffalo, 4 books and a tiny ornament for the dolls house . I spent £2 , the Gruffalo is smiling at me from the shelf . So apart from endless garden pottering thats my very boring holiday weekend , just the way i like it 

Rainy Day Chores

 I do love a rainy day and i can put my feet up and visit my filthy shit pit of a house , sort the dry washing yurt out , put all the houseplants and seeds out in the rain , fetch them in again, realise the windows are filthy , need to clean  the filth from where all the houseplants lurk in fact vanish up my own bottom while listening to my backlog of you tube prepper videos , catching up on days of emails . Oh im also making pizza breads for the freezer with dried up sourdough french sticks and weird cheese portions from army ration packs i happen to have a carrier bag full of them from the tin factory , as you do . The sourdough breadsticks were from the community larder , i came home with a load because nobody else takes them the lovely lady also gave me a bag full of beef dried rice in  packets  because they are out of date and they cant sell them or pop them in foodbank parcels , go figure they are good for at least 2 years after the sell buy date. this is becoming a feature of life anything they cant get rid of seems to end up with me ..lol  though himself did say hes starting to look like a cabbage i ended up with a fridge full last week .

The jumbles and carboots are proving excellent at the moment , i only bought 20 books this week..lol well the Salman favourite  recipe booklets , which ive flicked through and could always ebay . Got the unicorn of my dolly family a Teeny Weeny Tiny Tears  shes currently awaiting a spa day if you want to shock yourself look on ebay at what they are fetching these days !!  Still on my unicorn list is a ginger beardy Action Man and a stripy jumpered Jacko the Monkey ...one day maybe , I picked up loads of garden stuff i needed as well and im still spending my xmas money .

Its himselfs birthday today and daughter has taken him out somewhere , i do think its more of a treat for me than anything , the silence is wonderful 

I Have A Problem

 My name is Kate and i have an addiction , yep i admit it im a feral book buyer and a hoarder , i did two jumbles and a car boot sale this week .  The first jumble i bought a whole dustbin bag of posh fabric , a couple of books a big vase for daughter more crystal knobs that once again dont fit what i wanted them for, brackets for another little job and a stack of docraft paper pads for crafting  all with change for £5 . But then we tracked down to Branston Booths one of the best jumbles in our little universe. I admit it i went a little mad you see all books were 10p  , so i could hardly walk they had so many ,  i have a mountain of crime thrillers , more cookbooks and a gorgeous 1850 wildflower book should keep me going till next Spring..lol  also got a couple of plants and a few practical bits and bobs . Himself was feeling a bit unwell so i didnt stay for the auction , which looked rather good . But to make matters worse i went to Metheringham Car boot and struck it lucky there was a gentleman flogging loads of 1930s books and among them was a stack of cookbooks and a book on the buildings destroyed in the London Blitz  which im currently reading. 

This week im only going to a secret Jumble at Billinghay Church Hall 9am ,  it usually has schizophrenic pricing  and the weirdest things, there is a cat one in Lincoln as well but im going to be good and only go to one. I promise to try and not buy any more books .
