I was only looking through my Mary Berry cookbook last night Denise.

I'm another fan of Mary Berry. I have a couple of her books, a couple of Paul Hollywood and a couple of joint ones. I am a big fan of book depository.  ;D :D

I have been doing a lot of shopping. Here is one of my purchases.



Still have to buy a new fridge, microwave and dryer.

It is actually a bit deeper in colour.I bought  a big photo of a shipwreck on canvas so it sort of set the theme colours for my new abode. I have had to buy a few things. I'll show you when I get it all together in my new place.

I will be soooo happy to move away from the two witches. I am a lookin' fer a  happy bright  life.

I hope you find it Gert, I'm sure you will.  Love the chair and blue is my favourite colour.  It must be fun going shopping for all new furniture.  Did you have the opening at the weekend?

I love your chair Gert, I was at our Internet Service Provider a few months ago and in their waiting lounge they had chairs that look almost identical, although a different colour.  I found them so comfortable I told DH when we shift and buy new furniture it will be something similar to that. I felt it had great back support instead of slouching on the couch ( which I love, but not good for my back). Good choice Gert, have fun setting up your new place.

Yup. 10 groups came through. Looking promising but you need do know until the contract is signed!

I never actually sat in the chair Katj! I have my Lazy boys! I just loved the style and colour. It was a whim.

Love the chair Gert, looks nice and comfy.  My favourite colour too.

Looks great Gert, I'm sure the new place will be great once all set up.

My favourite colour too Gert; we are badly in need of two chairs and picked out some lazyboy ones and then kept wondering if they looked too big so didn't get them and still sitting on the uncomfortable ones. I have never read any of Mary Berry books so must try the library first. Got Jamie Oliver 30 minute meals cheap at book exchange and it was brand new so that is for GD when they come for the hols.
