        Lovely woodwork, Sal! I'll show those photos to my OH, perhaps it'll galvanise him into doing something creative:)

              It's a worrying time when there's no work, my other half has been jobless now for the best part of 17 months having been made redundant twice in a year. Being close to retirement age, we don't hold out much hope of him finding work now.

                I really didn`t like the idea of having a cutted tree in my house with the 3 cats ready to destroy it
                so I made a Christmas shabby chic tree ....
