…is changing. The last few months have been somewhat chaotic, traumatic and stressful – to say the least. Starting with the shop – we closed on 31st March. Heart wrenching, it’s been incredibly hard, and I’m still wading through he ton of paperwork and other stuff left to do, along with trying to deal with, … Continue reading »
Glasses, Glasses and Glasses galore…
It’s that time again…my squinting has increased, the distance between my book and eyes has decreased and I keep shoving my glasses up my nose… it’s time for new glasses! I struggle every time to know what suits me/looks best – so I’ve decided this time to have some help, and that’s where you come … Continue reading »
Festivals, Babies, Bunnies and Teddys
2 months since I blogged…that’s too long! I’ve been so busy with the shop and the event that although I’ve taken photos of things I want to blog about I haven’t had a chance to write anything about it! Might as well start at the end of August! I was debating going to Greenbelt and … Continue reading »
196
I moved into 196 on 12th August 2007. I moved out on 15th August 2011. Those four years have encompassed a heck of a lot of change. I moved in when I was going out with Allan, we lived there together for a while, then he moved out. (Thankfully!) Now I’m with Matty, and we’re … Continue reading »
Packing Woes and Advice Requested
I’m moving in 2 weeks. Actually, make that 12 days. I have 3 boxes packed. This is bad. Very bad. I’m downsizing into a shared house from a very very full one bed flat, and aswell as packing things up I need to sort things too. I’ve thankfully got a place to store some … Continue reading »

Free Yarn!
I’ve been offered a lot of yarn recently that I’m not able to sell in the shop, but is looking for a new home. There’s a lot (enough for about 20 sweaters according to donator) of red and green mohair – it’s from the 80′s. I don’t have a photo of that one, but can … Continue reading »
Graduation Take 1
Yesterday, my darling Matty graduated! It’s one of two, as he got his Foundation Degree yesterday, and will be getting his BA next year…So we get to do it all again then! I went up on the train after work on Wednesday, and we stayed in the local Travelodge – along with a fair few … Continue reading »
Shop, Cycling, Graduating, Moving and Yarn!
Well, the shop is up and running, and we’ve had a fair few customers in – and some really good feedback. It’s going well apart from technology – my host (who used to be fabulous – great twitter presence, answering service/help emails really quickly, within 1/2 hour at 2:30am etc!) decided to muck everything up … Continue reading »
What a week!
What a week it’s been! We’ve painted, and repainted, ripped up carpet and new fitted; been on a two hour trip to IKEA to replace a broken part and buy little bits and bobs, had three lots of takeaway (the chip shop that’s just opened 2 minutes away from the shop is very nice!), been … Continue reading »
