On Saturday I went to a local fete and found a couple of goodies. The mirror was £2 and I will eventually paint it white. I love the colour of the vase and seem to remember something similar on my Nanna's mantlepiece...that was 50p. The crocheted cloth is in perfect condition, though needs a bit of a wash, at 20p and six pretty napkins in lovely creamy linen....3op! Not a bad haul all in all.
I have also been tagged by Sian so here goes:
1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
Well I had just found out that I was expecting my darling Isabel.
2. 5 things on my to do list?
Finish my packing for tomorrow.
Finish my fairy doll.
Find an NHS dentist, (mine had gone private and J recently paid £115 for a filing)!!! Can't sustain that on 2 part time wages.
Spring clean the house, it is like a midden at the moment.
Start making a shopping list as I am spending far too much money and usually come home without the most important things like loo roll and dog food.
3. Snacks I enjoy?
Well basically, if it is edible, I like it!
4. Things I would do if I were a millionaire?
Buy a Louis Vuitton Handbag.
Buy a Chloe handbag.
Buy a Prada Handbag
Buy a Gucci handbag...the list is endless. Would probably buy shares in a chocolate factory and buy up greenbelt sites to stop developers building on them.
5. Places I have lived?
I was born in Germany, then came back to UK and lived in Wiltshire, had a spell in the Outer Hebrides and then settled in Kent.
I am now going to tag these lucky ladies and hope that they haven't already had the pleasure. If you are not sure how it works, read the rules on Sian s blog.
Natalie - summer by the sea.
Marja - home from the heart.
Stephanie - my sweet fairy.
Colleen - frostings and sparkles.
Sal - sals snippets.
Well bloggers, it's a tough job flying to Portugal and lazing around the pool for a week, eating, drinking, more eating, reading. more eating, etc etc. Someone has to do it though, so will see you all when I get back. Bye for now. Devina XX

Hi Devina - Glad you had a great time in Portugal too - We were at Praia de Rocha - the next place along to Alvor - and we caught the train to Lagos on one of the days - what a coincidence! Done all the washing and half the ironing - nothing like coming back to earth with a bump eh? - Natalie x
