'Twas the weekend before Christmas

And it flew by! Here we are in the final two days before Christmas and boy am I on countdown mode! I had a busy weekend dashing over to deliver the girls pressies in Kings Cliffe and then working. I had a nice surprise waiting for me when I got to Kelly's though, this

A Christmas hamper! I had brought some raffle tickets for the school Christmas fair and I won a prize for the first time ever! I'm very chuffed as it's full of wine, biscuits, chocolates, a cake, jam, etc. Apparently people were not as generous as previous years as they have been fuller but I'm not complaining lol! 

Finally to leave you with a funny sign spotted on the market! 

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!! Xx

I see a sign: a cheeky one

Today we went to an antique centre in Market Deeping as we were in the area. I love this centre as it is made up of various sellers who pack as much as they can into their small cubicle to sell so you can have a good rummage through the bric a brac. They even have a craft shop in the back selling stash but I walked straight through as I don't NEED anything, it took a lot of doing I can tell you lol! While we were there I spotted this cheeky sign which made me giggle

I loved it and did think about buying it for the bedroom but resisted lol! I can picture it being in a changing room in a cool boutique for some reason too. 

I see a sign

Hello my little blog have you cooled down? I love the summer and welcomed the warm weather, but after a week of temperatures over 30 degrees I'm glad for a break. At first it was a novelty, a chance to get my toes out and get a tan but soon I was coming home from work exhausted, the heat had zapped me of all energy and I felt quite ill, not feeling like doing anything let alone crafting or blogging!

But I'm back now with what I hope will be a mini series of posts every now and then. I love seeing where people live when I post parcels for Ian, the unusual street names or the names which make you say "I'd like to live there". Or sometimes you just see a sign which makes you chuckle out loud. Over on Julie Kirks blog she has done a series of posts about funny signs and this has inspired me to share any I find with you. 

I went with Ian one evening this week to return a bike he had repaired to Pilsgate just outside Stamford. Whenever I drive through this village the is a small lane which makes me smile and say "I want to live there" and low and behold that was where the bike lived! 

The name conjures images of small, thatched, gingerbread type cottages springs to mind! 

This second one is a silly one I'm afraid! Time to lower the tone, at my age I should know better than to find this funny

So that's my silly and pointless mini series. I'll keep my eyes peeled for more signs.
