Every time we pack the car to go to market, there seems to be more and more to take!
I don't know why?
OH yes I do... I have more stuff to sell!
This time my additions are Tree Runners (2) and a Christmas Runner too.
The kids just love the dogs.
ABOVE: Much loved teddy... dumped in the rush to play with the dogs. Forlorn wee thing.
ABOVE: Brylee and Griffin just before they headed out to the School Ball. I spent over an hour curling Brylee's hair ... only to watch most of them fall out over the following hour!
*sigh*... at least I tried.
It wasn't in the budget to get her hair 'professionally' done at a salon, they charge like wounded bulls!
She looked gorgeous, as did Griffin. Griffin... maybe not gorgeous, just dashing. *smiles*
My god, they both look so grown up!
Right, I need to go ... we have to pack the car and get me to market!
It's freezing out there too... I'm dressing in warm clothes and a woolly hat, and these:
ABOVE: Bex made these for me last night! Wrist Warmers... in FBG Purple! How cool are they? I love them.
She is going to make me a beanie without the top bit, so my pony tail sticks out the top. The pattern describes it as a 'Messy Bun Ear Warmer'. What a mouthful!
ONWARD...
ABOVE: OMG... it's FREEZING! 3 degrees C ....
ABOVE: All set up... bring on the shoppers.
Market wrap up: Slow to start, then I made a few sales which made freezing my buns off worth it. Next time I need even warmer clothes though!
It was SOOOOOOOOOO COLD.
I am now wrapped up in my electric throw at home... waiting to warm up! My legs are like blocks of ice.
Griffin is 6 foot 3"-ish now. Slightly taller than Stew!
Both kids had a lovely time last night. Griffin had a sleep over at his friend's, so I haven't seen him yet today.
End of day and I'm enjoying watching the 2 hour catch up of Coronation Street, even though I've caught up after reading it all. Still nice to watch some of the big happenings.
