A&E IN 8 HOURS

The store the Range opened its doors yesterday it is rarer and better for us we have  a B&M  , Home Bargains , Mataland and Sainsbury all on one park Helen's in a dream state .We went to day the day after , we bought a driftwood candle holder three flickering candle lights in clear glass , two Buntings and a black washing up bowl for the sink £45 to easy to spend .Helen already wants yo go back get some more of the driftwood candle holders picture below .

Wednesday night went to work as normal came home just after 02.30 ,had phoned Helen up during my shift and she was ok , on getting home I had to call 999 for an ambulance ended up going to Pinderfields hospital emergency department we got there just after half three we did not leave until just before 11,30 .Then we ended up going to our own doctors .We have got to make an appointment for a Mri scan on Helen's brain to try and sort out what is happening regarding her cramps she seems now to be constantly getting .
Afterwards went went food shopping bought some tuna and tinned Stag chili to go with our jacket spuds also bought a strawberry trifle sundae type trifle have been up for thirty hours .got home cooked the potatoes watched 2nd episode of G.O.T ,then went to bed for a few hours sleep not going in to work tonight .

MY NEWEST FAN

Helen bought a £50 four blade ceiling fan for the van in the living room  I put it up it did not work I undid the side screw that hold it to the ceiling rose and the red wire and come out I re screwed it in and it worked ok  its not a great down draught but you can feel the breeze , perhaps when it is warm it will feel cooler .

Went to the chiropodist since I have been going it has made me feel like I am walking on grass all of the time  next time , The next time  I go  it will be just before  my hip replacement surgery no 2 .

Work is boring appraisal season for the staff what total waste of time and paper management trying to score brownie points fooling no one .

Made a rustic wine and glass rack its a prototype and not completed hopefully we will or I will make more .Helen also bought a Mac Alister palm sander and a jigsaw Bothe for £45 for crafting and doing small work they should suffice .I bought some more bits for my Dremel of eBay 20 for £6.00 good old bay need sandpaper and jigsaw blades .

Bought some Haggen Dazs salted caramel ice cream lollies Magums are the best bigger and better but none are as good as Asda own brand trouble is they never have any in , the Asda closest to us  is getting worse it is annoying some times the shelves are really empty I can only guess it must be what it was like living in a communist Russia in the 70's fcuk all on the shelves

Listening to the Chainsmokers albums and albums by Khalid on Spotify .

POWER TOOLS

Bought  Dremel 3000 its a rotary hand held power tool I also bought some some extra sanding and cutting discs need to order some router bits and some engraving pieces can also but a router attachment for it .I am going to try and do some wood carving I have a few designs that I would like to do .

I also bought  Mac Alister sliding compound mitre chop saw from B&Q it cost only £90  so is bottom end of the market , but so far so good it seems ok . It was easy enough  to set up and is cutting fine it is accurate and not that noisy is easy to move its not too heavy  and It is cutting clean and square .

I ave wanted both of these items for ages they say he who waits well both are a godsend and differently make life easier .

CAMEO

Bought a curtain pole for the bay window from Dunelm I have fitted  it so it goes across bulk head rather than around the windows, also got three voiles with hassle edges they look good .
We also bought new cushion covers and pillows  a paper lantern for the bedroom light  and a new lamp for the side board that is  in the window recess and three small black photo frames all  from Ikea .we stocked up on meatballs and mash for tea.


Downloaded some designs and new fonts for the Cameo Silhouette library we spent around  £40 and we got quite a few decent designs which hopefully Helen can use , print out and make some extra cash .

We have it set up and working and we cut our first design which was of a  Chicken , Pig and Cow stood on top of one another with the words egg , bacon and milk etched in to the animals , first cut was not aligned right second was right we had trouble transferring the design to the backing tape we did it the wrong way round learning from our mistakes. I think it is trail and error we had issues sticking it to the wooden chopping board the vinyl sticks to glass and plastic no problem wood is a different medium specially if it has been oiled .Best thing to do would be to cut out a stencil then paint it black instead and  the stencil can always be used again .


Went to my daughters house she did Helen's hair it was cut and coloured  she also cut mine grade one whilst she was waiting for  Helen's colour to take ,  I cooked  us up bacon sausage and tomato
sandwiches .

My twin sister is in Pontefract Hospital she had her toe straightened it has been cut opened and then  pinned she was suppose to be in a day . But is being kept in hopefully for just one night because it won't stop bleeding every time she moves it .

COKE COST MORE THAN FOOD

Finished painting Helen's parents bathroom and bedroom all is done ,the bedroom looks pretty damn good .

I started painting our living room the walls a few weeks ago that I painted a charcoal grey are now Puppy Love brown the other two opposite walls and ceilings are white , can't beat freshly painted walls it is looking good .

Helen bought a mantle clock from Laura Ashley it was reduced from £75 to £37 she painted it grey .

A long with some wooden candle sticks .We need a new rug to match the greys and my chair needs reupholstering .

The Silhouette  Cameo three was delivered  Monday but we have not had any free  time to set it up hopefully we will before the end of the week . Helen has quite a few readings booked in over the next few days .

Went to Toby Carvery once again for dinner they had a fifty percent discount if you had the app installed on your phone I downloaded the app and we had dinner the two glasses of  Coca Cola  cost as much as the food .
