Last Saturday morning was the first Saturday Morning in ages that I found myself with nothing to do except lounge around in my PJ's waiting for hubby to get up - as he had been working a night shift. So I sat with my cup of coffee waiting for a morning with James Martin - only to be HORRIFIED to discover that the powers that be at the BBC has scheduled GOLF!!! from 10am-5pm!!!!!!!!! on BBC1.
I became "Very Disgruntled of Rotherham" and moaned loudly about this ALL DAY - I mean, can you imagine the furore if Kirsty Allsopp had been scheduled for 7 hours non stop all Saturday, sewing cushions etc??!! I begrudged my licence fee all day I can tell you.
However this morning, I was a happy and inspired bunny as James Martin was back in his normal 10am slot. So hubby got a "Black Pudding Hash" for his brunch - using lots of leftovers in the fridge.
So stepping down from my soap box - I have been having a massive clear out and de-clutter recently. I have been horrified by how much stuff we have had to take to the tip, I have been thrilled to see how much a novice can make selling on Ebay, and the charity shop has had about 12 bags of goods from us too (The DQ says she feels as if Ive thrown her childhood away - as if I needed any more guilt piling on!). I had been good and let hubby take the bags to the charity shop, but the last one, I took yesterday - which meant I had to have a nosey around, and I came away with 3 brilliant cook books - £1 each and a really lovely French porcelain souffle dish for only £1.75. Made my day.
The lady serving asked me if I had a cafe - "No, but at times it feels like I have" was my reply.
