About Me

I am just a T### from EK,Scotland. Interested in most sports. Like to take photos of scenery in Scotland. Well they tend to be of golf courses, mostly ones on which I haven't even played.Would love to move to Florida. Don't listen to anything buttonsforbrains has to say on Florida though. I feel that working with so many oddities over the years has given me the knowledge to assist those with any work or domestic problem. With this in mind please look at the July archive and check out problems solved by myself. I try to laugh about life and what life can throw up. Just enjoy the blog for what it can offer you. Hopefully it can give you a laugh. I hope I dont upset anyone plus some of the stories may be slightly untrue. Since joining blogland I have also discovered a talented group of crafty girls. Listen to my music links and enjoy my varied taste.

Worthwhile time spent on the Eve.

I was given the job of getting the family turkey this year. I refused to pay £70 for a Kelly bronze and set my goal on a half price Sainsbury special. I arrived ready for the half price event which was scheduled to start any time after 14:00. I even risked turning up at 14:20.
No sign of reductions but I had spotted the turkey I was after, A black Norfolk organic beast ready to do 9. £50 tag on its heafty breast.
In and out of the shop I went for another 90 minutes, leaving my flu ridden son sleeping in the car. Its okay he is 18.
What a thrill when at 15:42 the turkey stickers came out. I bussled my way to the chilled section and stood guard over my turkey and waited for it to be reduced.
And waited, the guy was reducing them in order, right to left and couldn't reduce any held by a customer. I had to move it up in the cabinet nearer the guy so he would get to it quicker.
Finally it was reduced to £24.52.
What a feast we had and a lovely relaxing enjoyable day. Hope you all had a good time as well.
All the best in 2009 for all my blogland buddies and keep those fingers crafty.

Crafty Tip No 9


I got this from Rock Radio 96.3.
With Christmas coming up, cut the cost with cheaper wrapping paper.
Use old birthday paper and just change the Happy Birthday to
Happy Birthday Jesus.
Let me know if you even use wrapping paper because some areas in Scotland
just have the presents unwrapped.
