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.

Well im feeling better today the bug or whatever it was has gone :)
Had all kinds of problems this last week with so called professionals not ringing or emailing or not delivering things when they are supposed to and to say it's getting my back up is a understatement. I seriously need to be earning some money now and it isn't funny anymore, in general i always try and see the funny side when TSHTF but i am past that now and am PO.
Pray for good weather as i need to do some painting outside in the next couple of days.

Great day today, not done anything to do with the shop at all.chill time.
Got a fab bag from Meg today for Mothers Day she made the felt to make it with and everything. Dad took them to get me some chocs yesterday too.
Abs made me some badges :) and a huge poster instead of a card.
Hubby got me a watch and some flowers for our 12th wedding anniversary, and we have been out to our nearest pub for a fab meal. Also promised a day off soon to go on a felt making class.
We went for a very short walk because it was so windy and cold today, it has snowed on and off.
In the morning the chiller is supossed to arrive at 9.30 so i have managed to get some helpers arriving to help get it in the shop so it better come or i will do my nut.
Parents evening tomorrow, better be good or there will be trouble :) :)
