2nd September

Well not a very busy day today.
I was going to do some gardening but it was raining so we went out to find a guinea pig but came home empty handed.
This afternoon i attacked the craft room, i finally put the bookcase in and had a tidy for the whole afternoon, i even managed to get 2 bin bags full of rubbish.
Today i booked myself on a 2 day rescue/safety boat course in October (blumin cold)
Also this evening had 2 booking for pie/peas, so that's good.
See you tomorrow :)

OMG Im a very bad blogger (1st September)

OMG i can't believe how long it is since i last posted :0
I've been busy with the shop, it's a tough life but someone has to do it. We had our enviromental health spot check a couple of months ago and got top marks so that was nice.
Also with the school hols i've been busy with the girls and sailing, Meg managed to win both the cups :) :)
Yesterday my sister has asked me to do all her wedding stationery which is a lovely compliment but also a bit scarey, so much to do.
But it's nice to get back to my crafty desk and get cracking.
I bought a couple of rubber stamps last weekend in York at make your mark :) but apart from that not much lately due to lack of spare cash.
Going to buy another guniea pig in the morning :) this one will be mine :)
I've just enrolled onto my silversmithing course for another term, so that starts in a couple of weeks.
Only got one more stamp to go on my papermill loyalty card, nice free box of card on my next visit :)
I will shut up now and i will do my best to blog each day :)

7th April

SHOP IS NOT OPENING TILL MONDAY
DUE TO PEOPLE MESSING US ABOUT (WON'T BORE YOU WITH DETAILS)

Anyway shop sign went up today and we think it looks good so not bothered what anyone else thinks :):) (im turning into a hard woman)
Day to day running is going to seem like a doddle compared to the last few weeks.
I still haven't posted any pics and seen as i should be able to get some pics of the complete thing tomorrow i will do them all at once.

28th March

Well today was the day of the world record attempt at the longest rolling Mini convoy.
We arrived at 6pm where we signed in and had a drink, there was a local group playing which were good.
At 7.30pm we had a drivers briefing where we were told what to and what not to do :) we were then given a sticker to say that we had attened , if you didn't have the sticker you were not allowed to drive. While we were in the meeting out passengers had to go and get into the cars ready to go.
We all dashed back to our cars to drive up the road a bit to where the police had closed the road ready, we formed 2 rows then on the go ahead we all set off. There were people along the route taking pics and waving which added to the atmosphere.
when we had driven the 2.2 miles we went up to the next roundabout then back on ourselves where we could see the rest of the mini's behind us doing the bit we had just done. Then it was a dash back to woodmans BMW where they had Champagne and food waiting for us.
The group came back on and the GWR guy anounced that we had done it, we had 269 minis. The record we were trying to beat was 195 so we did it easily, it was well organised and we should find out in the morning how much money was raised for comic relief.
