  • WTBAS, that's fantastic news for your DD, fingers crossed!

    Kmac, oh that is difficult, all I can say is try to keep a sensible head and if you do decide to go for it set some rules in your head and if he breaks them be strong, you don't want to get pushed over!

    It's my boss's birthday so we've all had choccy croissants and they'll be cake later! oh well!

    I made a good start on my christmas crafts last night, 5flannel reindeers,a toffee sweetie wreath and two test decorations. But got so into doing that I completely forgot about my dvds! no excuse I genuinely forgot! they'll have to wait until fri or sat now. Sorry everyone!

    A toffee sweetie wreath?! How do you make those?! I would love to be able to make Xmas crafts.

    I'm not contacting him today, if he does really want to be with me he'll get in touch today sober. I know when you are drunk you tend to say things that you wouldnt normally but I'm not standing it! lol x

    Morning All,

    Welcome to purple posting, I didn't get the chance yesterday as I was so busy. Well when I turned up for the party last night I thought it was going to be a disaster because they were all really old ladies and there were only 8 of them.

    How wrong was I!!! They were really nice and were all good spenders so it was a good evening.

    I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have these parties this week. It's the last one tonight, so I'll get a rest over the weekend. Only 2 next week but 4 the following week and 3 the next and so on, that will boost things I hope.

    I'm doing well on my veggie eating plan, I was naughty and weighed myself this morning I've lost a pound, so I'm happy with that as well.

    It's really pouring with rain today so don't expect it to be busy in here. Oh well, onwards and upwards.

    Speak later,

    SL x

    wtbas, why don't you do a mailshot to the women's guilds over your way next year, might be another avenue to go down re: parties. You just do a wee talk about your business and then sell at it. You give them a donation of 10% of the takings or goods worth 10%, whatever they prefer.

    It's a good way of boosting business and getting yourself known. You will be a millionaire soon enough.......

    Just having my lunch, Hm veg soup, made by my mum. Delicious.

  • I just had some soup for lunch as well Lynn :D yummy and very good for the diet.

    WTBAS and Lynn - You are both doing so well with the business. You'll be raking in the sales soon enough.

  • Hello everyone!! Just a quick hello to all to say I'm so sorry for deserting you for a while, things got extremely crazy at work.

    To sum it up I've handed in my notice; I have an interview on Tuesday net week (cross your fingers for me!) and I finish on 31st October, which makes me a happy bunny.

    While I've been away, I've earned £19 on Quidco and got OH to transfer some debt to an interest free Barclay card. We're moving our home insurance and I'm buying my sister's old car at a bargain cost...., oh and the diet has gone down the pan....!!

    How is everyone, I have missed you all, just didn't want to get carried away typing at work!!

    Lynn, how's the job situation? Kmac, sorry about the boy situation!! ((Hugs)) Thanks for the messages crazy! Hiya Purple! wtbas you are sounding like a proper inspiration - well done you!!
    Is Jo around?

    Speak soon lovelies xxx
