i have recently started up a new myspace .. for my other pass time

im a chat host

the chat room i host in is a nice place with lots of friendly people .. talking about all sorts .. its a bit of a release after a hard days work in the cabbage patch ;)

if anybody would be interested in popping along to the room and having a natter .. that would be fab id love to see you all :D

i have added the link to my new myspace  which will tell you all about the chat room .. its evening games 7 nights a week , and its silly antics that make us all giggle

 

 

would be nice if anybody wished to add the new myspace account to thier friends list , everyone is always welcome there any time of day (K)

ive started making the jams .. i have peach .. plum....rhubarb ....orange marmalade..... rhubarb / peach with ginger..... and im also working on my next bake sale which is sunday

 

if anyone is interested in the jam hampers im going to start posting out straight after the school 6 week holidays .. they are £6 each plus postage

 

on my trip to the tip this morning to do the plastic recycling i had the good fortune to find not 1 but 2 compost bins @ £2 each ... result!

now i can actualy weed my garden lol.. my old compost bin has been full for months.kitchen scraps and weeds from when i did the veggie plot in spring so it's now full steam ahead in the rest of the flower beds .... any voulenteers for weeding duty?

my friend .. in her wisdom ...decided to offer me her shed ...she never told me it was bigger than my house or that i had to take the damn thing apart first.

so here we are .. 2 numpty's on step ladders breaking our backs to take down this shed while her hubby sits gigglin at us and her mother makes tea .. thank god as my friend cant make a decent brew to save her life

so 7 hours later it finaly arrives in my garden in bits....if she has another bright idea like this 1 .. i may well have to do 20 years for murder!

today we were supposed to be doing a carboot to get rid of the junk and add cash to the wedding fund ..... instead we bought a breadmaker lol

hubby was so excited about the machine .. he's an engineer .. need i say more ...that it is already in full use and the first of the bread is cooking as i type!

hopefullty he will now voulenteer to help in the kitchen .. if he only bakes bread on a sunday morning .. he will still be very welcome to use my kitchen lmao

 

ok .. someone call my ambulance now cos if his bread dont kill me .. he will when he reads this ..lmao

 

hope everybodys weekend was filled with as much joy as mine was xx

this week also see's the start of the skinflints wines, we have started off the elderflower wine, later in the year we shall be doing elderberry , damson and sloe gin

in a few weeks skinflints kitchen will be starting on this years jams ready for the christmas jam hampers that we take to market they will be available for sale online too this year for the first time .... maybe thru myspace as my silly pc doesnt like the company website im trying to build ... damned machinery lol

if anyone would be interested in hedgerow jam hampers please would you let me know  they will be medium sized baskets with at least 4 different flavour jams and a pack of hand made fruit and plain scones to use the jam with the cost will be £6 per hamper . postage costs will be added later . ... pictures will be available in a few months

this week i finaly got round to updating the pictures of the garden so now you can all see how big my veggies are getting

well this has been a busy week ..

skinflint's veg plot is going ape and we are already able to pick the odd pea pod

this week has seen me start my anual herb garden cuttings which when grown on far enough will go to the local carboot to generate some much needed cash for our forthcomming wedding (dec 20th)

while thinking about this occasion and costs and the piggin menu! ( knew i'd forgot something) i have worked out that our big day plus 50 guests has only cost us £2000 where as some mad people forget that the day is about you and your loved one, and spend thousands upon thousands feeding people and supplying booze for the day, but the next day you only have a hangover to show for what you have spent as most of the people that came to your shin dig are long gone and you probably wont even get a christas card off them for the next 10 years

 

yes in a synic ..... but i know theres no such thing as a free lunch ..... unless you attend a wedding
