Well that was short and sweet!
Moved into the new place, and it was issue after issue! So. We moved back.
It was just one huge up heavel for me, my fiancee and our families. Completely un-necessary fluff up on her end, and I'm glad all this stress is over with.
I need to thank Paul's Mum, Dad and Uncle; simon's dad-in-law; my Mum and Dad. Your help was needed by a long shot and we had a few giggles with it and that was needed too. Just THANK YOU xx
So normal service is resumed and I will be posting more photos of the newly arranged flat and new pretty things!

Stress is an understatement
Hi all. Just a quick one while I have some form of Internet.
The move was nothing but stress, and we have alot of our land lady's possessions and our own in this modest sized house.
We've just got the new (old / ancient) cooker working so we can eat something..
Shall we grab some tea and try again tomorrow?

Moving Again??!!
Hii all!!
Thought I'd give you all the heads up, as I'll probably be without the internet for about a week (stupid Virgin Media *shakes fist at evil company*) and will be moving a little way from where me and his tallness currently live.
So what have I been up to on the crochet front? Well I did promise you on Sunday some photos of my polka dotty, rainbow, bright extravaganza!!!
Well that was a splash of colour wasn't it? This beautiful and warm throw is going to get a gorgeus pillow & bunting to match the colours, and will be all mine for the new craft room.
I've got so many blankets and buntings and cushions and pillows and bright stars and many more crochet things to make. Gahhh!!!! At least it uses my wool and each room gets its own splash of yummy colour.
Each room has been allocated a colour scheme, and what I shall make for it;
I will see you all again after I emerge from the mountain of clutter!

Gotta have a plan to loose the weight
Well I've come to the conclusion that loosing weight is my only option to be happier in myself, to be healthier in my own body..
Starting weight of; 15 stone 1 lbs / 217 lbs
Height; 5 ft 5
Body Mass Index; 36.1 = Obese
Clothing Size; Anwhere between a 16 and 20
It's the ugly and horrible truth. But I'm going to do this for me. Sick and tired of having agonising joint pain and hiding it from everyone, being in floods of tears over stupid bloody things.
So, to try and improve myself I'm going to go to my GP for blood tests to check my hormone levels (a lot of the time it can be down to an under-active or over-active thyroid). At least that will tell me where I stand.
With moving into a new place at the end of the month, and watching my pennies even closer, hopefully this will entice me.
Sorry about this random post; I'm just so fed up of being the size I am. When me and Paul first got together I was a shocking 10 STONE 12!!!
My targets for this year;
Weight; 13 stone
Clothing Size; UK Size 16.
Would anyone like to join me in Challenge Weight Loss?

*cough cough*
Helloo readers. I am afraid that lurgy is starting to hit home here. His tallness has it before and over Christmas, and as usual I get it in January. But do not fret, this will not take hold - I have cold & flu tablets to hand, Lucozade, onion gravy, and brussell sprouts to chase this icky cold into the distance.
Crafting wise, I've got my new etsy shop open now and am trying to get little bits made and onto.
What do you all think to the latest batch of shiney happy crochet?
I'm currently working on a few of the started and not yet finished projects from 2010. Thus far I have;
To aid with the massize mission of keeping things organised and only working on the projects, I went on a mission on Monday? No, Tuesday (Sorry lack of sleep does nothing for my pants memory). I went on a mission to find me a wicker basket for under £10 from the local rescue / recycling shop.
So, off I waltzed happily down town, saw my younger sister and her boyfriend (6 months together now, naww) and went to the recycling shop. While noseying around, I eyed up this beaut;
I looked inside, around it, and gave it a squeeze. Finally, came to a decision with the help of Katie (my sister) that I should find out the cost. "£3" the nice lady said. To which I hoped and skipped to the bank to draw some fresh dosh out.
When I skipped back, I found these two little pretties;
The tulip wooden ornament I bought mainly for Paul because he loves tulips (so bought him some crimson tulips from Sainsbury's today for £2.99). Then decided that a new(ish) purse was in order. And giddily walked to the till with happiness at my soon to be new additions to the growing clutter in our flat.
£3 for 3 items! How lucky was I?! Bloody chuffed is more like it!!
Also new purchses wise, I have being sent to me;
I am going to return to crochetting, and maybe having a cup of tea and medicine. Hope you are all well, and try not to catch "the dreaded lurgy"! x
~**Can I also put in a random thank you to those who are reading and commenting, it really does mean alot when my ramblings aren't just frowned at lol! I hope I "hook" more of you lovelies into crochetting-a-long with me :)**~

New Year, New Me
Hellooo! Hope you have all recovered from your lovely hangovers of last night (thankfully I didn't drink).
I have decided to persue a passion of mine that has been lingering in my brain cells for about 6 months. I've been wanting to set up a proper shop on Etsy, selling all of all my creativity in one place.
Welcome to The Fantastical Faerie;
I have put on there thus far some accessories, and home pretties.
This is a start of it, I have so many more goodies that will be gracing my shop over the next 12 months.
What do you all think? I'm only shipping to the UK at present :) But I will be doing some more yummy crochet markers, and knitting stitch markers. But not right now.
So I would love for anyone to give me feedback and what you all think.
