I love these tips, thank you so much. I love having a fashion parade by myself - I pull out all the things I haven’t worn for ages and see if I can remodel, or pair differently. And play with headscarves. And I also love changing around my books and putting them in categories. Plus your house looked fine despite the “wild animals”! Xx
Aw thank you so much, I’m glad you like them 😊 I love a fashion parade too and my kids like to do the same! It does help you to change how you pair things! I need to do that with my books soon too 😊 Maybe in a video! Aw thank you, that angle hides it pretty well haha xx 😊❤️
Recipes from my mum for me would be beef stew and dumplings, raspberry trifle, boiled fruit cake - all things I still make to this day. I still have her old trifle dish and serving bowls for the trifle !
Aw I love those dishes too! We always have trifle at Christmas and I love making dumplings. I’ve never made boiled cake but my granny used to make it and I want to learn how! Xx
More great ideas, thank you. There's a book: ) "250 best meals in a mug: delicious homemade microwave meals in minutes;" by Camilla V. Saulsbury that I got for the teens at our library, it has all sorts of quick microwave treats and savories to try.
@@thefunkythrifter well I started school in 1965 but I can remember loving John Lennon and The Beatles. My parents bought me my own record player to use rather than their posh stereogram. I would come home from school and play my 45s on it as my parents had loads collected. However I then moved onto Davy Jones of The Monkees when I was about 8 so had theoir records too!! I remember the fashions, the bright colours, my older cousins in their mini skirts and white tights! Platform shoes and slingback sandals. No central heating, a coal fire, BBC1 and ITV in black and white. Party phone line which might be being used when you picked up the receiver soyou quickly replaced it. It was all another world compared to now - gosh how things change so quickly.
@alegna4132 aw that is so interesting! I love hearing stories about them from people that were there! My mum loved the monkees too. She was born in ‘59. I still love the Beatles and listen to vinyl lol. I don’t know if no central heating would have been fun though lol. I guess if you’d never had it you wouldn’t notice the difference lol. Thanks for sharing 😊❤️
🙋♀️Keelan! Thursday I went on a train journey, normally I would have taken my knitting but now I’ve swapped that for seeing what other things I can spend my time on I took a notebook instead. I started the journey trying to memorise the ten things in your video to spend time doing - drew a blank after 3🤔. One was the cake in a cup (just phoned library to see if they could get me 250 Best Meals in a Mug that one of your commenters mentioned, alas No! Wonder if the person would give any other information about it, when it was printed etc). Based on one of the other things you mentioned I spent whole journey observing people and things I wouldn’t normally have and making notes. Come time to return home all trains had been cancelled and only just managed to get an hotel room - £114.30 not including breakfast😱! However I decided to view it as a mini adventure and see what I could add to my notebook. As we know hotels have Welcome trays/kettle, so I’ve decided once a month I’m going to treat my bedroom like an hotel room with a Special tray/kettle and a few other special touches to the room☕️🍪🧴🛏️ Re the £114.30 I’m going to see it as a challenge to see how I can manipulate my finances/spending before ‘1st January 2025 Our No Buy Year’ to recoup it🧐🧐🧐
Hi Jeanette, aw that sounds like a lovely impromptu trip! I would look on it as an adventure too! I like doing that with a notebook too and taking it out places with me too 😊 did you enjoy your time away? I like the tray idea too! It’s funny how you end up getting inspired by things you didn’t even know would happen! I hope the meals in a mug book turns up for you too! Sometimes I wonder if the library here has lower stock than elsewhere. There are gaps in certain areas but I guess they can’t stock everything. Xx

Aw that sounds great thanks I will have to look out for that! Thanks for letting me know 😊 xx
Anne of Green Gables,and other Lucy Maude Montgomery are books you might enjoy!
Aw thank you 😊 I have read some of Anne of Green Gables with my kids but I will have to try out some other ones! Xx
I love the 60's too.
I know! I wish I got to live through them! There was so much good music and cool clothes 😊❤️
Born in 1960 so lived through it all! Find it sweet that you love the idea of living then.
@alegna4132 aw do you remember the 60’s well? I have always had an obsession with them lol xx
