Scrapbook Pt 1

If recent conversations are anything to go by, buying my very own house is going to have to wait. However, that doesn't mean I can't keep dreaming! (Do I actually ever do anything else?!)

House tour Scrapbook Pt 1:

Buns & Roses, Leeds City Women's Institute

So I thought I'd write a little post about Buns & Roses.
I have been attending the group since December 2010 - I am yet to buy my official membership and have only actually attended a few meetings, however so far, it's been fab! I have really enjoyed getting together with some new people to chat, drink tea, craft and put the world to rights! I am really looking forward to getting more involved with things and I hope to do so once my circumstances are a little easier to deal with.
After reading Ruth Bond's post, I thought it was important to give the ladies at B & R another shout out and highlight the fact that the ladies in attendance at WI meetings do not conform to stereotypes and do not take kindly to sweeping generalisations made by (you guessed it) the nation's most well-known newspaper full of bullsh*t! Who buys it anyway? Jeez!

Oh I think that was my first ever bloggy swear.

Go Buns & Roses!

Dreaming

In recent times I've become really quite obsessed with DIY/Homewares. I may actually be a house-obsessed woman in her mid 40's underneath my 25yr old exterior. People do often tell me I am older than my years!
I have discovered that moving into a completely empty house is both scary and expensive. Furniture is notoriously tricky to find and afford... hmph.
Currently lusting after a dining area which resembles this one:

The Dangers of Mashed Potato

My lovely friend Muffin (a.k.a Sarah) had a story published here.

Yay!

Return to the world of the blog?!

I just realised I haven't written anything on here since November, where does time go?!
I am considering a more enthusiastic return to the world of blogging, my efforts so far have been fairly poor!
Hopefully I can share some of the things I'm upto, things I like and other people's exciting stuff too.
First of all I wanted to recommend you check out local review site Yelp, I have become a frequent Yelper in recent times, recommending my best Chapel Allerton and Leeds-based finds to the world! It's a brilliant site full of useful info, check it out.
I have just moved a bit further into Chapel Allerton and so I'm looking forward to trying out some more of the shops, restaurants and bars and sharing my thoughts!
