    :wave: Hi! I've had a great morning, the Ladies Who Latte thing was great! As a result of the people I met there, I've: sold a necklace, got a potential order for a silk Bible cover, given out my card to 15 women, met a woman who runs craft fairs and another one who is willing to share a table with me and signed up to do a fair with them in May, met a chiropractor who is going to help me with my headaches...it's been great! Some very interesting ladies and a good way to network and get your name out there. Am going to one in Farnham in a few weeks, and will continue to go to the one in Guildford.

    I've got to finish this custom order this afternoon and go out and pick up DH from his parents place (he's leaving the van there while we are away), but I am hoping to do some flying too at some point.

    Penny, please don’t go. Remember you said yourself this is a happy thread, and we all need to stick together. We would really miss you if you left x

    Vanilla, sorry DH hasn’t been taking his meds. I would stress to him how much his illness affects you and the kids and if he’s not taking his meds it makes your life much harder and he has to take them or else!

    Toots, no trains or planes allowed? Sounds like you need to go on an around the world cruise to me! :)

    Hugs Mumto5 and Pigpen

    Love and hugs to Pigpen and Diva

    Sexy, have you finished your horrible job now? Enjoy your freedom from nasty people!

    :wave: Hi! I've had a great morning, the Ladies Who Latte thing was great! Good - I'm pleased you've made some useful contacts and that you'll keep on going.


    Sexy, have you finished your horrible job now? Enjoy your freedom from nasty people! Yes today is technically my last day, as I wanted to be paid over the easter holidays.

    Just got off the phone to a colleague who has been travelling for a while, and talked to her about supplying with the agency I'm with. Hopefully we're going to have a meet-up with other colleagues next week to celebrate her being home from her travels.

    Bedlinen is hung on the line drying nicely. Off to put another load in the WM, as it's clouded over now, so things won't dry as quickly. Fingers crossed the sun comes back out.
