Oops, been a long time!

Been rather remiss in my blog keeping,  this is what happens when you join Facebook and start playing the games!  

I have also done some courses, so I am now a fully qualified reiki practitioner :-)   On the 2nd degree reiki there were four of us,  plus Poppy, the owners dog, who seems to have taken shine to me as she spent most of the time at my side or with her head on my lap wanting her tummy rubbed.  She also made us laugh as we were doing some distant healing,  I was happily lying on a couch,  settling down for a nice snooze and leaving the healing to Jan when,  crash,  Poppy landed on me, started licking me - LOL.  It was hilarious.    So now I can practise reiki,  it is such a lovely healing treatment, very calming and relaxing.

My next goal is to do a fully accredited Aromatherapy course.   I was lucky to snap up a full aromatherapy kit on ebay for just over £30,  couldn't quite believe my luck,  the kit came as described and was brand new.  Got all my base oils,  mixing jars,  essential oils and all in a proper case.   I was well chuffed.    The seller also was prompt in posting,  always a good sign I think.  I do check their records, as I do any buyers if I am selling stuff.    I did sell my robo and Big Shot a while ago, hope the new owners are liking their new toys :-))   I'm quite happy with my Slice,  and now you can emboss with it! 

I've not been very well for last week or so,  have a horrible sore throat, made mistake of looking at it - wish I hadn't!  So have been sucking Tyrozets in the hope they'll cure it,  not so far, but do have appointment with GP tomorrow for something separate,  so will ask him to prescribe something a bit stronger.   Before that my mum wasn't too well, she had a nasty chest infection.    And next week I'm off for another operation, this time just a small one, they're sticking a camera in my knee to see if I knee a full knee replacement.


I've just got all my paper work thru for my retirement,  the news of my lump sum and pension was very welcome, not a fortune,  but the lump sum will help pay for my aromatherapy course and a holiday - which is much needed! 

I have been busy crafting tho,  went to a craft fair at Aintree at the weekend.  Went on Saturday,  grabbed some pro markers,  a fiver a pack, a bargain,  but he had no flesh tones left, luckily got them at another stand for just 50p more.   But my knee was soon complaining,  so thought it best to head home, then I spotted a poster saying that you could get a voucher and get in free the next day, so I grabbed one.   On Sunday I went back to a stand that was selling gilding flakes, always wanted to try them,  seen them on QVC but never managed to place an order for them, this lady was selling 3 tubs for a tenner,  so got them and some black peel offs.  The result can be seen in pic, it was so easy,  I was sure the flakes would be rough, but they're soft, I used a stencil brush to burnish it, it worked very well. 

Well nice to be back, will try to do better.  Thanks Cazzy,  have done as you suggested,  all comments are now moderated.

To the wally who thought it fun to post that rubbish here - do it again and I will report you to blogger and have you banned. You are a warped individual.
