We got a new house!!! We get to pick up the keys tomorrow and hopefully we can have a look at it in person instead of stalking it on google maps. Soo excited. But squeak, we'd better have a packing frenzy. Arrrgh so much to do, whoop whoop. Now was I coming or going? P.s At the same time all...

I have acquired a few jars of pumpkin jam. What can I make with it? Short of putting it on toast or making tarts I'm a bit lost. My only experience of pumpkin was years ago when I tried to use up the middle from a carving pumpkin and it was nasty stuff. I found out later that they aren't really...

Spring has sprung, day and night are equal and the birds and animals are getting busy. *Let the egg balancing commence! * Im unsure if this is actually possible or just a myth.

All of this has been dumped into my garden from a neighbour ''trimming' the tree. I've no way of getting rid of it. Anyone want some? Anyone have a woodchipper I could use? They've butchered the poor tree and I can't even lift some of those branches.

The info is for me as I'm seriously considering trying to make a little business. I would be selling hand made: Dog biscuits. Rope dog toys. Paracord dog collars. Paracord safety buckle cat collars. Catnip cat toys. The dog biscuits are made from natural ingredients safe for human consumption...

I popped out to hang my washing on the line this morning and found a dead chicken chick in the back yard. Non of my neighbours keep chickens as far as I know so I'm rather puzzled as to how the poor thing ended up there. I'm entertaining theories so, what's yours?

Let Spring begin! Anyone planning egg balancing later? No, sticking it in the snow doesn't count lol

Bradshaw's in Burntwood have a Santa grotto running over the next few weekends with all proceeds going to the Royal British Legion. I know this twinkly eyed old fella and although he's not been well he's fluffed his beard and polished his bell all ready for the children. So if you are looking...

Sadly there are many lost ones to think of this year, so let's raise a glass or three in their honour. Remember the dead but be kind to the living. Happy Halloween, Blessed Samhain!

My poor son in law to be was held up by robbers wielding hammers this morning at the Spar where he works. It happened just after 7am this morning as they opened up. The robbers manhandled him and took his phone before locking him and the other 2 employees in the alcohol storage cupboard. They...

I wish you all joy and peace this solstice. The light returns.

O.K I've had enough now. I'm going to be blunt and it may be controversial. I completely understand that it is Remembrance Day tomorrow, I come from a family who served. I was brought up on respect, poppies and crosses, wreaths, war memorials, old pictures. My parents are members of the R.B.L...

I swear if one more person insists that mindfulness is a magical cure all, that will solve all of my problems, I might just have to hurt them! I have mental health problems. Some of those problems involve over thinking, over analysing, examining in minute detail my thoughts, actions, words...

This is my lovely Lottie dog, Cheese Stealer Extraordinaire, Licker of Feet and beloved of all who knew her. Time caught up with my beautiful girl this morning and took her away. Life is slightly emptier without her.
