Just Why

 im sure there is some weird mental reason that when himself really pigs me off I decide to bid on a load of auctions , this week i left a load of tiny bids on a tender auction , you dont go to them, all you have is a truly awful picture to go by and if your bid placed online is the highest you win . I won just one auction lot and the only reason i bid was the fact i thought i saw wool in a clear plastic bin and it said material as well ,You can never have to much of either in my book , the picture really did look like a pile of boxes . Now i went to pick this up Saturday with much moaning from himself  and there was twice as much as shown . But on getting it all home errr well , theres wool promptly stolen by my daughter .  The material turned out to be a huge box of clothes never opened all in their bags and with an invoice still in , all tiny sizes but again a lot stolen by daughter , a box of various craft tools , a box of unopened hair scrunchies and ornaments , enough garment bags unused to fill a wardrobe, unopened gifts , a huge stack of hats from mother of the bride to cricket umpire , two brand new with invoice craft bags , one stolen by daughter a big vanity case, Belgium lace doileys new in packs, Belgium lace curtains a pair of american  leather boots brand new in box again stolen by daughter the price was over a hundred pounds !!. Brand new shoes in boxes. lots of cross stitch stuff  that will go into the bag of doom we pass round in a winter among us skint crafters , and  theres a box of greetings cards and notelets that i have no use whatsover for....lol   Theres was also a little set of wooden drawers still price tagged at 29.99  that were rather nice , they got even better when i found that the reason they felt so heavy was that who ever did the clearance hadnt checked them and the bottom drawer was crammed with jewelry, pretty ghastly home shopping jewelry, but some of it is gold so has scrap value if nothing else . So for a grand total of 8 quid  with commission i will gain a chunk of cash towards the winter oil fund !!  Mr BHs comment... and i cant even have bloody Weetabix . I didnt tell him about the gold

  2. Well, seeing as Mr BH had been eating own brand 'Weetabix' without complaint until he spotted the shape change, he obviously can't detect any difference in flavour or texture, so he'd get the own brand ones again, or do without!
    You struck lucky with your auction lot, but I imagine that all proceeds from that will already be earmarked. I think there will be an enormous number of people struggling with fuel bills this coming winter, so the more money you can hide away now, the better!

  4. omg Kate, would I have loved to rummage through that lot. Where are these online auctions, I have not idea, tips would be lovely.
    I so miss my car boots but neither of us can walk around them now. My home is almost entirely car boots stuff and people always say how nice it is, lol. I bet most of them wouldn't be seen dead at a jumble or car boot.

  5. Sorry to be rude but when mine acts up I think-"Mardy arse"-and sometimes tell him "you're just like your mother"-anyways sounds like the Universe has sent you gifts for being so patient with your beloved and keeping him all safe x

    3. This delight can try the patience of a Saint-sometimes I think he is his own worse enemy-which my dad picked up on years ago-and as my mum said "the nicer you are to him the worse he is"- I let him stew occasionally-I'm a bit of a rebel x

  6. Wow! That is an amazing score. I go on auction sites when DH upsets me as well. I've never got anything quite as wonderful though!
