Hear hear Smokiewater!

I thought I was gonna get loads of painting done at the weekend as I had it off, but not a chance. There was too much fun to be had sitting in the back garden. So, I'll be working hard this week.

Thank goodness it's not too sunny today!

Hi Smokiewater - sorry we didnt get to meet at the weekend!!! Your handbag sounds interesting though?!!! I didnt get to go down to the paddock marquee, but am glad to hear it was a good trading day. The main marquee was very very busy but a mixed bag of trades really, although overall it was better than ok! Only downside is we now have no handmade stock left - guess what we will be doing for the next few weeks LOL!

SuperMum2010

I thought it was my laptop playing up Rach!!! THey are obviously working on it RIGHT NOW as everynow and then it tells me its closed for maintenance!
