Thats brill you've got some more dates sorted out, at least nearer xmas you should get good crowd.


Feels awful Miss Hoodie goes back to school 2mor, really going to miss her, been so use to having her around, so hope it goes ok, the teacher she's got new to the school and he's deputy head, so fingers crossed. xx

Poundland sells mini love hearts, you get 16 in a packet. I scoured every shop for weeks and nowhere had them (needed them for baby shower) and finally found them there, I think amazon worked out double the price for me! x

I got some lovehearts from Amazon - 100 for £4.00, don't know whether they were missed priced as other sellers were £8 plus,
I got a pack of 21 mini ones for Miss Hoodies goodie bags, s going to design some labels save some pennies!!

Good news Miss Hoodie has finally sold her Pandora bracelet _ charm on ebay, been listed 4 times, last time added another £5 onto the price!! in the last 30 mins had people moaning about postage, (with it being jewellery higher value) listed it as special delievery only), 1 woman offered me £2 for postage for 2nd class....... then I could see a claimback in the near future, (its been on for 10 days), went within last 10 seconds...
Its what she had from her other grandparents, (bracelet too small), since they did the dirty on her, she doesn't want anything of theres, put it up for 12mths incase she changed her mind!
She hasn't... so she'll be happy bunny in the morning!

Not much else, my GP phoned, he's spent 2 days going through my medical records (think he gave up) he'd referring me to pain managment clinic, and he's changed 1 batch of tablets around, seem to be getting somewhere, xx
