14th March

Thanks Rachel, i managed to get on through the comments (you are a star)
Well not been able to get on here for ages so i don't know where to start really.
With the shop at the moment,
the serveover chiller arrived last week (yipee at last i thought) but the marble top was broken in half so it had to go back. I am expecting it to arrive anytime this week and to be honest i am now sick of waiting for the cowboys to deliver another one.
We have been busy sorting out all the last little bits that take ages to do, today i have been making blackboards :) :) ( i like the making bits) also hubby has been drilling very deep holes in the toilet wall for a extractor fan and wireing that up, trips to tip etc.
We have been to see a few wholesalers and one of them is trying to get us a free drinks fridge which would be fab. In the morning the best coffee man in the area is coming to visit us to try and help with our trying to find decent coffee and machine.
It looks like we have staff sorted :)
I have the bar installed just need six stools, which i tried to get on sunday but they didn't have any left and won't have any in for 5 weeks :(
Trying to find somewhere to get a sign made for the front of the shop which doesn't charge a fortune which is proving hard, so if anyone knows anywhere it would be very much appreciated.
Our new shop opening date at the moment is 28th March which is also the day i have entered myself into the mini world record rolling convoy in aid of comic relief, it's going to be in Blackpool and will start at 8pm with a police escort. There will need to be over 195 mini's to break the record, at the moment we have 155 so if anyone else would like to join in leave a message and i will get back to you.
Oh and while ive been away i have also offered to run our village youth group, but won't start that till autumn now.
We are having a village Easter bash on good friday with egg rolling/cake eating/egg decorating etc, it should be fun.
The only crafty thing i have bought lately was 33 flowers from Dunelm on sunday.
I will shut up now as i have gone on and on.

Rachel i have managed to find a sign maker to do it now :) going to have it done on perspex on stand off things so it sticks out. Also there are 3 windows down the side of the shop so they are doing me some stick ons that will make it look like they are etched.
