About Me

My photo
Hello! I'm Kara, a mid 30's mum of one, teacher by day and mummy by night. I would say I am more slummy mummy than yummy mummy but I live in hope of my fairy godmother casting her wand! I am also a sister, a daughter, a godmother, an auntie, a wife and hopefully a good friend! Having spent more time lately reading blogs than studying current affairs or indulging in "chick lit" I thought I'd give it a go so here I am! I have been married to Mr D for 12 years now and we have been together since I was 14!!! Miss D came along in 2009 and life changed for the better from that day. I work a 4 day week as a tutor in Childcare and Education (sounds far posher than it is!) and spend the other 3 days being the best mummy I can be to my adorable daughter. I *LOVE* shopping, chatting, card making, scrapbooking, cooking and reading. I want to share some of the random thoughts that I have and the craziness of my life with you. I hope you enjoy what you read and if you don't........well I gave it a go!!!

What's all tat?

So I have been scouring the charity shops again this week and bagged a few more pre loved gems

First up a lovely little tea set - 4 cups,saucers and side plates all for only £3


I went for a peruse in my local shop mid week and spied a punchbowl for £3.50 and 5 mini trifle dishes for £1. foolishly I walked away but went back on Friday deciding that if they were still there I would get them.  Not only were they still there but the bowl had been reduced to £2.50 and a 6th glass had been found!!! 
£3.50 later and they were all mine! 



This post is part of Magpie Monday over on Me and My Shadow pop over and take a look

    There is something very special about a punchbowl so well done you. Hope it features at many future happy events. And I love that should I/shouldn't I moment when charity shopping.
    I posted my finds late this week but there were lots of them.
