Hadrians Wall

Am I MENTAL!!!!!!!

I must be I have been coerced into walking the wall with my other half.

Anyone think as a 22 year old female walking the wall fo five days with 6 men is abit insane. I have been assured that there will be lots of drinking along the way.

It sure will test our relationship. I am more worried about me secret fear - EATING baked beans bleurgh (which the OH doesn't see as a problem)

I feel a tad apprhensive as I am overweight and a stroppy cow when I don't sleep well. How am I meant to pee during the day I need a SHE WEE

Anyone fancy joining me along the way with cream cakes and cups of tea? They would be greatly appreciated. I am sure that the boys will love the company of another refreshing human being. I know I will.

How will you be spending a week off? Lets hope I am rewarded with a weekend in a spa with non smelly women.

Have a lovely weekend Bloggers & Bloggettes

Love
Ethel

RIBBON

Just a quick post.

Have been reading other blogs (A Thrifty Mrs).

She has recently posted a blog on storage of ribbons. Although I agree with her peg theory, I have another solution.

I have an obsession (think 5 drawers full of wrapping paper and ribbons)

I have started to wrap the ribbon on a pencil then stick cellotape on the end to secure the ribbon doesnt go evreywhere - then pull off the pencil.

I then store the ribbon in glass containers that I  can easily see and thus making a pretty sight and I don't feel guilty that I am using up pretty ribbon as I will see other ribbons.

You can get the glass containers from Ikea and Wares of Knutsford or use the Jam jars you can buy anywhere - I prefer Kilner Jars.
