Wanders

 So the car is back on the road after horrific outlay and the van remains propped on its side awaiting more welding school with himself supervising on his garden chair i knew they were trying to get rid of me when i was encouraged to go to 2 jumble sales and the first car boot of the season ..lol ..i was even given 10 pounds pocket money by himself . but as i was home by 8.30 they didnt think that through very well . I suppose they thought id be taken out for mothers day ..lol .instead it was tea fairy and butty maker for the troops 

Anyway both the jumble sales were good , i spent a grand total of 3.50 got 5 items of clothing that only 2 fitted, a pre first world war do it yourself book which featured home taxidermy and book binding among many other weird and wonderful ideas . the best purchase that caught my eye and i have no real use for was a pair of copper half pint beer mugs , i thought they looked like trench art but they may be victorian who knows but they were shiny and my inner magpie wanted them there was much jostling and barging which i dont take part in, once the scrum had moved on i found a small plastic bag filled with collar studs and odds and ends of cufflinks  i use the bits for craft purposes and a couple appear to be gold so they go in the little box of jewellers scrap i build up for emergencies . I then found a couple of soup mugs and a mug to replace winter breakages , a Wedgewood quiche dish , a pair of brand new shoes for a whole 2 quid and a big pot of snowdrops which i buy every year then never see again,  they are already planted under the trees and i can live in hope till next spring . so thats a big chunk of my wish list filled already , i will just have to sit and stare out the window for the rest of the year...
