OMG I have been soooo bad :o(

So we are going camping next weekend, have not been since I was a kid and have lots of memories of Devon and the New Forest and other places we went but it is all over shadowed with eating frosties with powdered milk bleurgh........

Anyhoo times they have a changed and we now can get electric hook up yay!!! So off we are going next weekend with some friends. They go quite a lot and have been trying to persuade us for years. So I think I have blogged already that we did a practise run with our tent, bought it 5 years ago and never used it. So we pitched it, quite quick and all seemed fine except I don't like it. There is nothing wrong with it at all I just don't like it! Fussy cow that I am eh! So we bought a new one today. I mean how out of order is that. I am about to lose my wage from the old day job and the beads are taking time (which I knew) to earn me enough to draw some kind of wage so we are supposed to be being careful and we spend money on a tent! Doh!!!

But it is a nice tent and that makes all the difference. I can quite happily rationalise it to myself and therefore no-one else can fault my rationale I am after all correct in my appraisal and we needed to buy a new tent!!!! Can you hear me trying to convince myself? Anyway done is done and we have a new tent. So...does anyone want to buy a 6 berth tent, pitched once 2 weeks ago for half an hour, other than that it has never been used. Bought it for £150 will take £80 for it.

General Monday morning musings!

No pictures yet today I am afraid but I do have a few things I thought I would share with you! I am having to sit indoors today instead of torching waiting for the postie to arrive with my order of Aurae glass (I hope!) I have mixed success with silvered glass. I was appalling with terra I got what can only be described as brown poo from that glass. But I have had more fun with Psyche. The Aurae glass is fairly new from Double Helix and after seeing everyones pictures on Frit Happens I have succumbed and bought some! So I am quite excited about that! Watch this space for pictures!

Other news....I have finally given in and we are going camping for a long weekend in a couple of weeks. My memories of camping as a child are not that fab! Although the holidays themselves were brill they were overshadowed by the fact that they were completely primitive and Frosties with Five Pints powdered milk was gross!!!!! I know things have improved and you can have electric hook up now etc but it still does not massively appeal! Still Tony and I did buy a tent 5 years ago and we have never used it!!! So my friends invited us to come along and in light of everything that has happened this year and my life changing decisions etc we decided a weekend away would be fab! There are 16 of us going, we pitched our tent on Saturday to practise it and it was up in 30 mins which is pretty darn fab! Got a few things to buy still but bizarrely I am looking forward to it! Imogen has camped before so she is cool, Tony loves it and it will be a whole new experience for Savannah so you know what it will be great! Just hope the good ole British weather is good ;O)

Right best be off
