We have a rule here, dictated by the financial restraints of single income living whilst raising the kid, that we don't buy something new unless the old one is broke, for the big ticket stuff. For two years we've grumbled and whined about the tiny ancient telly, the faded old car with no mod cons, and the too small, noisy fridge, whilst smug-ly reusing to give into consumer desire, letting of steam with bursts of rampant op-shopping. Then last month, jubilation! the car irrevocably broke down. welcome shiny, air conditioned, fancy! replacement. Then, last week, joy of joys my crappy cell phone died. yahoo and hello clever, consuming iPhone. Buying new stuff feels really, really good when you aint done it in a while. Kind of like a giant cake of chocolate after a diet!
Then my ageing laptop freaked out at having to download this new fangled iTunes and gave up the ghost. Bum.
Maybe i wished to hard for my phone to give up the ghost? Anyway whatever i wished i unwish it now, so please no more breakages (ok, 'cept the fridge if you have to break something more universe). So I'll be gone for a little while we see if it can be resuscitated...and enthusiastically jump back on the 'now't new' wagon... whilst happily playing with the new phone...
Anyone know how to position you photos in a blog post made via the blogger app?
Hopfully you can see a few cute things here, inluding claud instgramed, a wee addtion to the doll house-thanks
holly (its a real, very mini wheat bag! And a perfect replica of the life size wheat bag she kindly made as a surprise gift for me).

  1. I've been so good with not buying a fancy phone - even when I lost my much-hated mobile (genuinely accidentally) we found an even more ancient one in a drawer and I'm still using it. But yours is the second iphone post I've seen this evening...want! (and I'd like a feather headress too)

    I have no idea why everyone is still using passwords on their blogs, they're bloody irritating and there's a spam filter anyway! x
