Actually I am pretty pleased with some things on it. See that green bucket thing there? That was my bargain of the week in Aldi. It's actually a children's gardening set but it was minus the trowel and spade so was reduced to £1.99 - it still had a little metal bucket and some gloves inside. I've wanted one of those desk tidy tote bags for ages to store all my glues etc - wont this be just perfect?
The jiffy contains a lovely card and present from my gorgeous Gail, it's staying in the jiffy till I get a bit more sorted so that it doesn't get ruined. The little pile of postcards underneath the jiffy and journal were nabbed from the cinema this week. Am always looking for little note-cards to slip in with the things I send off and these were really cool ones. Some Lion King, Avenue Q (very funny ones spoofing Michael Jackson & Dirty Dancing) and those top ones are advertising Linger - a new book with a gorgeous cover. I'll be definitely checking out the postcard stand again the next time I go to the cinema... went on a girly trip with my eldest to see Eclipse if you are interested. She loved it - well, she loved the near nekked Jacob anyway! Me? Exploding crystal vampires, not much blood, wooden acting... lovey shmoveyness... meh! *ducks for cover and hides* It certainly was lacking a tall broody Bill that's for sure. Am afraid I just don't get the Robert Pattinson/Taylor Lautner thing at all... at all.
Apologies for my grainy photo this week folks. Didn't want to miss another WOYWW so have taken this Tuesday night and am scheduling it to post. Hopefully if all has gone to plan then today Craig's deliveries will arrive on time, we'll deliver it all and hopefully be catching what's left of the Hobbycraft sale (need paint brushes) and releasing the pidgies this afternoon. I'll catch up with you all later today!
Have a good 'un and if you fancy a nose at some more deskeramas then elbow your way through the melee at Julia's and slap your name on Mr Linkies backside so we can all find you... and I've seen other people ask so am going to be cheeky and say, if I'm not linked up when you drop by, please would someone link me up with Julia? I wouldn't ask but... well, you know - have been on a stash ban since April and for OH to agree straight away to a trip to Hobbycraft (his idea of all forms of torture)... well, what can you say but "where's the car keys?" ;) Thank you!
The little gardening tote is perfect! and what a bargin!!!!! It's very similar to my smallest one that I got from Tesco (for a far bit more I might add). I jusy started watching season 3!!!!! it's looking Good!!!! Eric is Yummmmmmmmmy!

Great bargain tote - great idea. Am totally with you on Eclispe - acting? and also, why does everyone think they're the best looking young men in the world..I cannot see it. Age probably!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love the picture that shows how you feel about your desk this week!
ReplyDelete** Evi **
I'm feeling pretty virtuous seeing this desk - having just tidied mine! Great desk tidy Carmen and such a zingy colour - that will inspire you no doubt! x x
ReplyDeleteI am with you ... the film really does n't do the book justice and RP???? I mean!!! Really??? He looks like a school boy!!! I am ducking now too :0)
ReplyDeleteLovely mess on your desk - nice snoop and very interesting post! I just love your style...I can't really decide on Pattison and this whole emo scene....I am an old rocker so I guess pale boys don't do much for me ha, ha....
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Cardarian
Great bargain for that little tote, if it said craft on it would be 3 times the price LOL. Is that a heart on the right hand side on that painted piece, looks yummy anyway. Great snoop today, thanks. Tracy Evans x
ReplyDeleteBill who? Who is that bloke on your side bar!!! (I truly don't know who he is, I'm not fooling!). Stash buying?? Never, I wouldn't do a thing like that.... ahem! Enjoy your trip out, hope you get to mooch down every aisle!
ReplyDeleteHugs

ReplyDeleteI always collect the postcards from the cinema too, I have a stack about 4 inches thick....and that is after I gave another stack away which was the same thickness lol
ReplyDeleteI am sure its just a very creatively messy desk!!
ReplyDeleteGreat bargain and great snoop this week!

Sorry Hunnie missed your comment ages ago about a bunnie - I'm donating the left over bunnies to Darcy's charity thing, but as luck would have it I forgot to post them last week - so they can be unpacked and I can donate one to you as a worthy cause - do you want teenager - random grab from the bag - or a cute white thing? in return would you make a small donation to Darcy's man's charity?
ReplyDeletethanks for checking out the rowan - I'll keep my eye on angel yarns dot com ( or is co .uk?) they practically give end of line stuff away...
Dx
- oh and email me a postal address box/ and if the rabbit doesn't appear in 5 days remind this pillock to check the mail table for unsent packages.....
just saw the cartoon down below and this old lady wet herself laughing
ReplyDeleteGreat desk.. mess is GOOD!! LOl
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh aloud when I saw the 'exasperated face'.
ReplyDeleteThat sums it up sometimes!
I love your messy space, and I REALLY love the book background on this blog!
Amy
Isn't Aldi great for a bargain?! Great idea about the postcards - will nick that ;o)
ReplyDeleteI went to see Eclipse too this week - felt about 70 years old with all those teeny boppers in there! Must admit I can see the appeal with the two boys but can see the appeal in Bill too! Have you ever tried the Lynsay Sands books - not ground breaking literature but just as, err, adult, as True Blood! x
Great bargain with the green bucket. Agree Bill is much foxier than Edward, yum ;-)
