Well our house sold, the 1st people that viewed it bought it so yeh, very lucky!<br />
<br />
The only downside to this is that we had to move in with my parents at the end of September, we are very lucky as it means we are saving up whilst doing up our new house. The above photo is of our house in 1910, we have tried to replicate the windows that were in there then. Very costly but they do look good even without glass in them at present. The house renovations are very slow as hubbo is doing the majority now the roof/extension/building work has been complete . Hopefully for us and my parents we are trying to be in by March at the lastest, but lets not hold our breath.<br />

It was my brothers wedding at the end of May. The wedding was in Gretna Green, not my idea of a wedding venue, but you know what we had a fab time and the weather was lovely. Little dear was one of four bridesmaid and she had the best day of her life (apperently).<br />

When i go to my local town of Retford, I park in my usual car park, after getting my ticket I have to walk through this slightly depressing passage way! But a few month ago this appeared, its to celebrate the life of the ladies that used to work in the Clark's laundry rooms which were located inside the building where the art work has been done.<br />

Progress is being made on the house, the roof is now complete (re roofed & new fascia's and guttering), this is a major job ticked off the ever growing list of things to do, but thankfully as the weather is warming up the house is starting to dry out!<br />

<br />
This was the 2nd time I have made these breakfast muffins and they went down a treat again. They are so easy to make.<br />
<br />
1. Remove the crusts from a slice of bread.<br />
2. Use a rolling pin to flatten the bread.<br />
3. Butter thinly and place in a muffin tray.<br />
4. In the interim, cook some streaky bacon in the oven.<br />
5. Once you think the bacon is cooked through, make up the next layer in the muffin case (bread).<br />
6. Warm through a tin of beans and then use a spoonful to make up the next layer in the muffin.<br />
7. Crack an egg and remove some of the egg white as usually there is not enough room for the whole egg.<br />
8. Cook in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until egg white has cooked.<br />
<br />
What a treat!<br />

After a lot of tooing & froing with solicitors we finally managed to get our hands on 'Our House'. Believe me it needs a lot of work. Its an old shop/post offce, that has not been touched for the past 20 years, but the owners managed to smoke 40 a day so the interior is very much 1 colour!</div>

Me and my sister over the last 2 years having been putting together a hamper for both my brothers, parents and a family friend as a gift. This year the theme was a Morocan meal as there was preserved lemons, couscous and homemade harista paste. All the ususal jams and pickles and more alcohol this year was added.<br />
<br />
Christmas morning, just before little dear decemated the presents. Christmas day dinner at my parents, both turkey and pork were cooked as my sister refused to eat tasteless turkey, but who do you think thought it was lovely!<br />
<br />
This years plans, not a lot as we are due to complete on a wreck of a house later on this month, so all time, effort and money will be put into that. I will take lots of photos during the refurb. Due to this we are really having to tighten our purse strings so a £50 weekly shopping budget has been set. Also hubbo is 40 this year and the only thing he wants to do it go down to the River Cottage canteen so in June we are off down to Dorset.<br />
<br />
Here's to 2013 (bring it on)<br />

In our wisdom back in January me, my sister and a friend offered to run an in house workshop to save on the pennies at out WI. The title of our workshop was 'Homemade Christmas'. We spent time decorating the souless grey room that we meet in and gathering together all of our resources. We broke down the workshop into 3 different sections, home decorations, gift wrapping & gift ideas. We tried to get it through to the ladies the idea of gathering things throughout the year, old wrapping paper, broken jewellery, sale items!<br />
<br />
My section was gifts, ideas were given such as homemade fire lighters, teenage breakfast set, movie set, lavender sugar, sloe gin, baking jars and homemade body scrub. After a brief talk we then moved room into the kitchen area after a brief stop at the refreshment station of Mulled wine & mince pies. I then showed the ladies how to make a body scrub it went down very well.<br />
<br />
<u>Lavender & Rosemary Body Scrub</u><br />
<br />
Granulated Sugar<br />
Olive Oil<br />
6 drops of lavender oil<br />
4 drops of rosemary oil<br />
tablespoon of lavender<br />
<br />
Get a jam jar and fill with sugar until almost full. Tip into a bowl, add the olive oil until all the sugar becomes stuck together but not saturated. Add the essential oils and dried lavender, mix well. Put back into the jar decorate the jar and voila a perfect homemade gift.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Me & little dear at Hardwick hall in May (need to loose weight)</div>
<br />
Well I have really missed you!<br />
<br />
I don't know about you, but I use my blog as a diary of my world. It all started off to promote Just Original which is fine and there are still snippets of that going to go on, but I miss writing and taking pictures for my blog. I downloaded pictures going back to March of this year from my camera today which is really sad.<br />
<br />
So here goes I am going to try and blog at least once a week, there will be some catching up first and then hopefully I will try and keep it up to date as much as possible. I am away in Keswick at the moment and we have just got WIFI finally into the apartment so this has inspired me to get my bum in gear.<br />
<br />
Things to look forward to are a WI workshop that me, my sister and friend are running for our WI, called 'Homemade Christmas', were trying to get our local WI back to grass roots as such. I have organised a childrens Halloween disco as a fundraiser for our local village hall. We are in the middle of buying a new house, which is a wreck so we saving our pennies where we can, so there will be some money saving tips and also some great finds from the house as much of the contents are being left. It was the village Post Office/Shop and has not been touched since 1993 when it closed down.<br />
<br />

Most were free from fellow plot holders who had some spare plug plants.<br /><br />Me and my Ma paid a visit yesterday for a few hours to turn over a section. Whilst there we dug up some swede, kale, cabbages, celeriac and leeks. There was even enough to give out some freebies to friends and families.

We do live in a nice <a href="http://www.blythvillage.co.uk/">village</a> now, the reasons we moved here was to be close to the road network as both of us were based out on the road, but these are now the same reason as we want to move.<br /><br />Our chosen area for the move is the Yorkshire Dales, we do love it there we went to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Reeth</span> for our 1st ever weekend away together 10+ years ago. We have looked at other options, Lake District & Scotland but property prices and distance put those areas on a back burner, so Yorkshire Dales is still our 1st choice.<br /><br />We have twice jumped in the car to look at properties as it is only 1hr - 1hr 1/2 away. The pictures show a few of the properties.<br /><br />However this long winded post is all about the fact that this weekend I have had a blow out and basically decided we are not looking anymore as I feel I am putting my life on hold and not getting on with the NOW!Just Originalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16013207391078127169noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522140985945593966.post-23493667475275174402011-09-01T09:19:00.004+01:002011-09-01T09:29:54.175+01:00Birthday Girl!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cIxMwn4vvgw/Tl9AxTdzZJI/AAAAAAAABH4/KlnQqesFP98/s1600/Eve-28.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cIxMwn4vvgw/Tl9AxTdzZJI/AAAAAAAABH4/KlnQqesFP98/s400/Eve-28.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647303673528935570" border="0" /></a>From this to this in 7 years!

<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Cromford</span> Mill
<br />
<br /></div>We decided today was the day to head out in the car and to visit a few places on my wish list.
<br />
<br />First we visited <a href="http://www.arkwrightsociety.org.uk/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Cromford</span> Mill</a> near <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Matlock</span>, I was a little unsure what to make of this place, very interesting about the history, but not a museum. A few of the shops were a little tired in there choice of stock. The antiques shop was great though and very reasonably priced.
<br />
<br />Next on the list was <a href="http://www.tissington-hall.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Tissington</span></a> near <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Ashbourne</span>. I absolutely fell in love with this place, the buildings and peace & quiet were amazing. I also loved the fact that a lot of the houses had honesty boxes outside the front where they sold excess fruit, veg, flowers, eggs and Jams & Pickles. Also a major attraction there was a <a href="http://www.edwardandvintage.co.uk/">great sweet shop </a>that a spotted on someones blog.
<br />
<br />We managed to pick up some great local produce alon the way, flowers, cheese, butter, sausages and black pudding.

We were expecting a nice pleasant walk in the sunshine, what we did not <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">exact</span> was the haul of Blackberries and Sloe's. They seem to be very early this year!
<br />
<br />The sloe's are spending the next week in caster sugar before the gin gets added. The Blackberry jam on the other hand are being sold in my local shop to raise some money for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Mencap</span>.
