Terrible loss of a young friend and thank god Pete didn't get out of his cab - made me feel ill reading thinking that was what he did next. Also very sad about your friendly rabbit. <br /><br />Laughed at cat in specs shot. The girls wear theirs a lot especially to give them invisible super spy powers, I have to pretend I haven't seen them. <br /><br />Robin starch made me happy and the tin. My dad had a boat yard and all the holiday 70's boats were filled with that sort of stuff aswell as mozzy cream which stunk. <br /><br /><br />I've rambled, but then it's good to have you back again. <br /><br />XBobo Bunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14564557200579080645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141256657077347979.post-78157042245575787602010-07-31T10:25:05.323+01:002010-07-31T10:25:05.323+01:00ooh, just spotted the CK bit.

We use cash now because when we lived in Surrey nearly everyone in our town had their card cloned from this one garage - even our MP! I didn't because I didnt use that petrol station. Since then I will only use my card for independents or if I do I use credit card as more protected. Unfortunately my mum (who used to work for the police) says it's so rife now best off buying petrol with cash.<br /><br />I know your pain re peugeots. I had a 3 year old peugeot and it was absolute shite, i had the shocks done, the cylinder kept misfiring (n the M25!), the idnicator and lights went. Now I only ever buy Japanese or German. We bought a brilliant little Suzuki, cheap as chips but a great little car!<br /><br />I hope things pick up for you soon and fingers and toes crossed Pete's job is ok. xxxTinyholderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06282856264223984826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141256657077347979.post-33585113985145954332010-07-29T11:23:02.222+01:002010-07-29T11:23:02.222+01:00Jeez - a hard time you have had!

Sorry to hear the the bad fortune you have had of late, but love the caravan. I can just imaging what it will looks like after an injection of your creativity, can't wait for future photo's. Oh and on the Cath Kidston note, I feel exactly the same. After reading that she has sold a large share of the company and only retains creative input, I was concerned that the magic may go. Anyway keep up the great work. I may get around to writing a new post soon lol.<br /><br />Hugs<br />xFayeFaye 'Country Chic'https://www.blogger.com/profile/07271869338098689239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141256657077347979.post-27337879133565557452010-07-24T22:38:49.863+01:002010-07-24T22:38:49.863+01:00After all that bad stuff it's good that you ar...After all that bad stuff it's good that you are able to be so positive, and find inspiration enough to make plans for your lovely caravan.
