I was in thrift shop yesterday with 2 friends on a planned day out when my husband phoned to ask if I was on my way home yet. Can I stress 'planned' day out. It had been planned for 2 weeks and at 3.30 he phones. 1.5 hrs before shops close. Why oh why would we be on our way home? We were 1.5hrs from home to make matters worse so the call only served to make me cross that I was being 'needed' and anxious that they were having a stressful time on the farm. He did text 1.5 hrs later to say they were all ok and not to hurry, which was sweet.

For the life of me, I don't know why I hesitated when my entire life has been mostly 'thrifty'.<br /><br />I posted about it but I can't figure out how to get your badge... I tried, but I'm no good with things like that. I'll figure it out eventually, or hopefully, someone will come to my rescue, as I've blogged for help. (Typepad is great but it can be a little tricky with things like that for those of us who aren't html literate!)<br /><br />~ Jennifer~ Junkyard Jenniferhttp://www.jennifersjunkylife.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-51634887789201121902009-09-24T15:36:07.719-07:002009-09-24T15:36:07.719-07:00I was walking out to the hen house to check in vai...I was walking out to the hen house to check in vain for the first egg, when I had the most brilliant idea concerning your cardi debacle. Well, it was brilliant until I realized it was most unoriginal and that your clever self had probably already thunk it. but just in case...<br /><br />Look in the men's sweaters for a pleasing to the eye crew neck. Cut up the front middle, adjust neck-line to taste, and finish off edges with bias, crochet bits, hankies - whatever and voila!<br />Then you can decide to add buttons, broach, ties or doorknobs.<br /><br />Might just try that meself.Lola Novahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215529779296867987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-30274706706654188752009-09-24T15:21:16.145-07:002009-09-24T15:21:16.145-07:00Oh Lord!

Never even suggest that you are unhappy about something or you will get his advice because he thinks you want it!<br /><br />OK, got that off my shoulders, but yes, I sympathise.<br /><br />I also sympathise about the needing something in a thrift shop, but it is going to work, it really is! I would have popped off to IKEA to get a filing cabinet today if I hadn't taken up your challenge, and instead looked round five Troc' shops which didn't have a filing cabinet between them. I was gloomy (hard challenges at work and home not helping) but I do remain full of hope about that filing cabinet which is out there somewhere for me! I just need to live with the bad filing system we've had for the past X years until I find it. If we've waited this long, we can wait a bit longer.<br /><br />Wow - did that help, or did it make things worse? You won't find me blogging too much about problems like this with the challenge, because I blog for my mum who is very ill and gets upset if she thinks I'm struggling. Thus my blog shows the sunnier side of thrifty life in France! I'll get my gloom out in other peoples' comments - very generous of me, I'm sure...<br /><br />Having said all that, have a great day!Flosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098894367955345944noreply@blogger.com
