House Clearance

We have been busy clearing out Ant's house ready for decoration and ultimately renting out. Attended a car boot a couple of weeks ago and made £160!!! shocking what some people will buy. Was good fun though and despite the money made and items sold, we still have a really long way to go. It doesn't appear to have made any difference to the amount of junk I still have in my house! Definitely another one needed this year before it gets too cold.
We are taking Bee camping this weekend, (yes... in the rain!) but should give me, (the leftie) a chance to try out the right-handed cooking facilities and Ant a chance to practise washing up in our new sink! lol. Of course I shall also have to test the wine fridge out and Bee's fairy lights. Can't wait. x

Dad will be pleased.

Have just booked myself on a self defense class for women; watch out Europe (or should that be Ant!?). We are all set to do our first car boot sale this Sunday too; The big clear out begins. :-)

another week off 'work'

Ant took leave from his day job for another week and came East to work on Bee in preparation for the Newt Beer Fest. I ended up also taking most of the week off to help. All curtains including the tie backs are now completed which has made Ant's dodgey ceiling paint stand out even more!! lol. definitely gonna tackle that when we get to Cyprus. I painted Ant's star sign on the spare wheel cover, and then painted it over again (decided wasn't keen on enamel paint). Ant fitted our ingenious fold-away waste bin and the iron cross gear knob he bought on ebay (yes, the one I got has been replaced already lol!), whilst I painted the Taurus again.... and again, and once more before deciding enough was enough and the slightly patchy look will have to suffice, and I now detest enamel paints. The scorpio which is going on the back will just have to be painted with something else (or stuck on!).
We drove her down to Taunton totally trouble free and packed her up ready for our first weekend in a field with her at the festival. Tried measuring the fuel efficiency too on the way down and much to our amazement discovered two things; 1) the fuel gauge sensor still doesnt work! and 2) she does 26 miles to the gallon. Gawd bless her and all who ride in her. :-)

I love my Auntie Pearl. :-)

Despite her ultra busy camping life, and some really oddly shaped foam pieces, Auntie Pearl has done an absolutely amazing job on the new cushion covers - I can't believe it, they look fantastic! And she still makes one of the best roast dinners around. Thanks Auntie. xx

Bought the fridge!!!

Now just awaiting its delivery with baited breath (and fingers crossed that it fits!) The 2-ring electric hob has arrived too and Auntie Pearl rang today to say the cushion covers are finished, going to collect them tomorrow - yippee! So think we could be all set for the Newt Beer Festival.
Bee is looking a little dirty at the moment too, think will need to find time to give her a little TLC this weekend. Am also hoping to take her for my first drive now that my road has been rebuilt and I dont have to go off roading to get her out! that is of course if the boss gives me permission. :-) lol
