Collection time!

I was just wondering do any of you have a collection? Something that means everything to you?

I have two. My snowglobe collection and my discworld novels. I love them both so much. Ive recently had to downsize my stuff so my books are no longer on a shelf of their own :'(

This is my snow globe collection. Its not a great photo, but it shows how many I have at a later date I will post better photos of them.

10/30 embarrassing moment

I am going to be a let down and say I don't think a have a most embarrassing moment. My life is filled with them, as I'm a clutz and I don't always think what I'm about to say through properly.

The one moment that has stuck with me though is back in year 10 I was 14/15 years old and I was sat in the form room at my table with Kirstie and Sarah. Kirstie was a joker she always had been. She had been telling jokes this morning and I was drinking a carton of ribena, she said something hilarious, I choked and my ribena came out of my nose and went all over the table. Well I was mortified didnt stop me laughing though which made it worse. My form tutor Mr Jones or Jonesy Baby as we all named him, walked over looked laughed and passed me tissue and walked off. Even in my end of college book that was noted down damn you ribena!

Update on my beans!

They have buds for what I can only guess are to be the flowers before the pods appear! I have 4 at my last count which makes me happy!

9/30 influencial people

Today is 10 people who have influenced my life. In no particular order.

1. My great nana the typical matriachal head of the family, strong, stubborn and independant.

2. My nanna, I lived with her for 5 years, she helped me with alcoholism and depression.

3. My mam, she has shown me to just let go and be yourself around those who love you.

4. My great grandad, he just made me feel so loved and special, he made me realise what I have to say is important.

5. My grandad, when he got cancer, I struggled to visit, when he died I hated myself, so I decided to work in care to help those whose family struggles with it too. So he influenced my career. He also used to be a paramedic.

6. My dad, he always tries to encourage me to aim higher and to study hard.

7. My brother, he is my rock, if I need something he is the one I turn too, he is my shoulder to cry on.

8. Steven, he has shown me true love and support through everything I try to do. He makes me feel.comfortable in my own skin.

9. Cathy, she has shown me you need to tell the world to shove it when your down, get back up stick a smile on and get on with it with a positive mental attitude.

10. My sister, she has shown me I want to be so different from her. I dont want to be likened to her in any way. That maybe horrible but she feels exactly the same way.

8/30 passions! ooo er

5 Passions this should be easy!

1. Making stuff whether it be knitting, baking etc

2. Steven. I love talking about him, he definitly is my better half.

3. Italian food - good italian food, whether it be cooking it or eating it mmmm.

4. Taking photos of stupid things, I dfont do this nearly enough anymore and it makes me sad.

5. Christmas, but only since I got with Steven, before that it was always halloween.

7/30 dream job

Ok I have a couple of dream jobs and then my ideal real job.

My ideal real job is to be a nurse either in elderly mental health or gastroentology. I like caring for people and I believe that I could help make a difference. I work in care at the moment and would like to take it a step further.

Ok so the dream jobs.

I would LOVE to own a 1950s style diner where I would have a jukebox and sell burgers and mikshakes. The jukebox would only play retro music. The colour scheme would be pale green and cream. There would be a bar separating the kitchen from the actual diner and I would have one of those rotary hangers to hold orders and a bell when it's 'up'. I would have shelves of old style sweets in jars on shelves and in those jars with taps like in 'It's a wonderful life'. I would have old style pictures of people, bands on the walls.

The second dream job is to not have a job haha, no but seriously it would to be a complete housewife and I would want to be self sufficient with my veg patch and having chickens. I would knit and bake and hopefully they would be good enough to sell. I would even sell any excess of veg after I had frozen what we would need.
 
So there you have it dearies my dream jobs.

windowsill wonderland!

This is my garden! The tall tendril plant is my borlotti bean plant. The smaller plant is my tomato plant. Cathy gave me it 3 weeks ago as mine died due to my cat knocking them off :'(

I will be adding a new plant which will be a mint plant from my great nana's vegetable plant.
