What a whirlwind today's been! After finding out that Clinton's cards had a massive sale on and that one of the items was something I'd previously spent £20.00 on was now only £5.00 (!!!), I went into Beeston with my friend Jill (who knows so much about what's going on - she's got her ear to the ground and her finger to the pulse). Having bought a few items I managed barter with the asst manager for an item I bought for half price which will be Mum's birthday present. That must sound cheap, but I can't afford much this year, and she knows, bless her. She asked me yesterday for a nice photo album (for all her lovely pictures of PJ and CJ and my brother Chris and his wife Donna, plus our new addition to the family whom we've yet to see: Chris' eldest son, Wyatt, had a baby boy called Cole yesterday - well his girlfriend Megan did. Please pray for her and a difficult situation. Megan's father's being an ass about Wy and his Mum going round to their house, plus Wy's hoping to enlist in the army as soon as he's passed all his tests.
In addition to the above, our church is holding a nearly new sale this Saturday from 10-12pm. If you can come along you would be most welcome :) It's at St Barnabas' Church, Barn Croft, Off Inham Road, Chilwell, Nottingham, NG9 4HQ. So far we've been given a lot of stuff which is just fabulous, some of which I went to collect tonight (along with some rescue hamsters!!). A lovely couple got in touch with me through Freecycle http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beeston_freecycle/messages?o=1 - a site that aims to keep house-hold items of a wide range out of the landfill sites and back into the community for others to use. They had seen my wanted ad on the freecycle Beeston site and kindly donated all they had "decluttered" from their children's rooms. It pretty much filled my car! It was funny driving home, because every time I turned left Noah kept shouting "Land Ahooooy!" Obviously touch sensitive!! Sometimes he's do a bit of a rap "La-la-land Ahoy-Ahooooy!" I think that was when he was well and truly rattled ;)
As I was out in the car, I contacted the girl who'd advertised her baby hamsters. The students had a new kitten and he was bothering the little hamsters in their cage and they feared they might well disappear inside the belly of the beast ... I think they're dwarf Roborovski hamsters, they're a pretty colour, different from all my past and present hamsters. They're sooo cute, like little fluff balls. They're in the same cage although I'm a little concerned that they're NOT the same sex after all. Anyways, I'll wait for confirmation from the young lady, and separate them if I have to once I've found out how old they are as well. I've named them Georgie and Bungle/Ellery/Emily ... still some decision to make there.
Right then, I'm off for a long sleep. Hope you're well and in fine fettle :)
