Back to some sort of normality

We have the appointment for the scan its two weeks yesterday unusual to be on a saturday better for the traffic and parking as its 4.10 p.
Anyway we are trying to get some normality back in the meantime , we wait until after lunch to go out now and this week i went to the first  jumble sale in ages and and also fetched the stock i had bought from auction before all the health issues started  so here are a few of my latest finds.


The pillowcases , The blue and white ones were new vintage in the box for 30p , The linen frilled ones were in a job lot of linen bought from auction , I finally got some big enough for Ikea pillows as they are so long. The only problem is we have had a problem with them since , See my complaints section further down.




This Antique Mirror was £1.00




This is a beautiful Antique linen pillowcase with clover leaf embroidery and open work detail , Its on Ebay now finishes soon with only one bid of 99p , Have a look at shabbychicvintagecottage 




I have had these ages but have just decided to sell them , There a lot of mother of pearl. 







This box is shabby and the ballerina is broke but i love it. 



I have done quite a bit of baking while we have been immobilie , I had two of these 6p loaves in the freezer , I use one to make Old fashioned Bread pudding.




 Then i made belgium buns , They looked much better after i had iced them but then i forgot to take the photo. I find it really hard to roll them as tight as required.

 
Then theses two beauties were in my latest auction finds.









 And i also get some free stuff , This hat was given to me to sell on the stall but i loved it so much i decided to keep it needless to say though the stall has to be put on hold for the time being.

 



Now the complaints , The Asda one , They gave me a £10 online shop voucher and free delivery for the next four deliveries as they say they are not responsible for codes not working on the discount sites.

We don't buy many new items but we need a new mattress and as quality mattresses are very expensive we purchased a mattress topper using another online code for freemans , It was brilliant at less than £70 it's transformed our bed.Then i had some thermal vets for my husband 
 he  always wears that keep him warm with his health  issues  they were  great too, warmer than his previous ones that he had had for years
Anyway i noticed a blue stain on my lovely white pillowcases and pure linen Antique sheet That had also gone through to the mattress topper, Its not slight either  , I was gutted , I love sparkling white linen on my bed and these were   certainly not,My husband has a daily shower but the dye from the vests had got into his skin and transferred onto my bedding , Freemans asked for me to return the items for testing , I only sent one i need proof that the problem had occurred  , So i will let you know what happens.
