This is definitely no time for the heating to be playing up and the boiler to decide it needs 3 hours to heat water while the shower is out of action.
My hands are purple and my fingers are going numb... yow...
But there is something to warm my heart - I have managed to extend my vintage ephemera search a bit further with some purchases today of 7Gypsies hardware (v. difficult to track down these days in the UK) and some other Becky Nunn embellishments, looking forward to seeing those. Plus I now have some lovely hinges from my emergency stash fiend - Tree. I have earmarked them for a future project as they are lovely bright copper Art Nouveau style. Also I managed to get a half-day at work today since I was a bit ahead with my current project and another one had been cancelled before being ordered so it worked out OK for me.
That meant Ang and I could make quick on the spot plans for lunch in town and a trip to a local arts and crafts shop that is closing down. They are just going to re-open in a business unit place where they have more room for workshops and they are really successful with their own line of art stamps. 50% off what was left in the store, but I resisted the stamps as I knew I'd not really have the right projects for them even though they are totally lush. But I managed to get a few small items from 7Gypsies (silver small frames for their Jewellery line), a circle punch (about time), and some Ranger Memory frames. So that was good, but I have just put in a couple of orders of small items from Stamp Attic and Papier Valise - those essential bits and bobs for all my heritage needs. ;o)
Anyway I am hoping that by 8.15 I can hop in the bath then will be quick to hop in bed after my bath and snuggle under the duvet.... with my current book - sorry to disappoint! :oP
Back behind the wheel tomorrow morning, I just hope Guru Dave (my instructor) doesn't decide Lesson No. 3 is the ideal one for me to actually start driving from the front door since there is a rather steep hill to negotiate! :oS
