No whoopsies whatsoever but still manged to spend my vouchers. Just taken a load of stuff to the workshop, which has given us a bit of space in the office. Also picked up some hen food as we were out so happy chooks again. Weather has now decided its going to rain and I haven't finished my wellies.

Sorry I've not been around for a while but we've been bussssssssyyyyyy. BiL has been and I think was quite impressed with what we've managed to do, loves the site and thinks most of our ideas and plans are possible, so it looks like we've got a partner and cashflow! Lots of machines have arrived today so need to unpack at the weekend and start to get setup. All stock and tools have gone from home, it feels very strange!
DD1 turned 14 last Friday, took her out for a meal and as part of her birthday went shopping and spent a fortune. This seems to be happening far to regularly for my liking. Managed to spend some time in my garden. Had my friend come and do some cleaning last week as she owed me some money and it helped me out. I also naughtily paid another friend to help me in the garden. I couldn't stop grinning thinking I had my 'gardener' and 'cleaner' in. Came home to the smell of bleach and it was fab. I didn't want to cook in case I made a mess in the kitchen!!! Sadly it didn't last for long.
Had my day off today and been out with a friend. Went to the Boundary Mill store and came away £50 lighter. Some of it was for the workshop.
In my other news and as long as I can get next Wednesday off, I'm going to a garden party and going to be in the presence of the queen. Hence lots of trying on of hats. My oldest sister phoned with a problem and I told her I had one as well, hers was something to do with sponge cakes. I told her mine was, I was unsure if the dress I'd bought for the Christmas party would be ok to meet the queen. Had to tell her twice to get her to believe me! Thinking along the lines of getting a fascinator instead. Also made a few repayments but not going to update until December. And that chaps brings us up to date.

Still not tried on my frock, think that will be tonights mission. OH broke my car on Friday, however it turned out it was the key he uses but to get it fixed would cost in the region of £70 plus the £30 we gave to the mechanic. So for now we'll just have the one key. Chaps enjoyed Scout camp, even though they came home absolutely covered in midgey bites. I could use DD2 as a dot to dot. DS1 was glad he went to the prom but not overly impressed.
Spent most of the weekend assembling lawnsmowers, strimmers, hedge trimmers etc. Think if I see another lawnmower I'll scream! DS1 also not impressed but he helped. OH has got another week off and boy is it going to be busy, he's off to get the signs today, sort out printing and potentially get some more shelving, as well as remembering to get my dinner which I've forgot.
Had a big tidy out in whats left of our office. Shifted the furniture around and it looks a lot better. Best get a wiggle on.

I've been to see the Queen today. Actually, even though I'm not a royalist I felt quite choked when she appeared thinking this is our monarch. It was bloody freezing and must've rained for an hour before she arrived. Prince Phillip came as well and he did look a bit 'crumbly' but what do you expect at his age. They were accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland as well as Alan Shearer.
Had an ace riding lesson yesterday and have told the OH that I want a divorce as there is a new male in my life called Jake! He's a big gypsy cob 15.3hh, with legs like tree trunks and I fell in love with him. As we were cantering round I did have a whip and I was flapping my hands a bit which he could see out of the corner of his eye which made him go faster and me flap more!!!!!! I think I might have to go a rustling mission and put him in the garden.
