    That's a shame, will there be an opportunity to rebook it? Your cello bags sound most excellent - I've been looking for similar in poundland for months with no luck

    May try again next Wed. Am going to see how Fridays Bazaar goes first.

    I managed to get the last 3 bags in the Ipswich store last Sunday. Got a bit excited much to my mates amusement.:rotfl:

    Forgot to mention, bloody woman from the PTA today.
    Was helping put up the School Christmas tree, when one lady asked what I was selling. I told her and said how nervous I was. The other lady pops in with,
    ' Yes it's always nerve wracking when you are selling bits like that, you could do ok , or you end up selling nothing !':mad:

    Not what you need really. :eek: Has she seen your products though because I think we can vouch that they look very professional, more than someone who hasn't seen them might expect. :T

    JJ - hope he shows up soon, mine has gone wandering a few times and it's a horrible worry.
    ONO - sorry you had to cancel, hope you can make the next one

    Well, we had a few snow flurries yesterday but hasn't been sticking, can see it on the hills though so is quite pretty. I'm doing Christmas carolling with my choir on Sunday so am looking forward to that :) Am a little annoyed though - I wanted one of the xmas pudding woolly hats from Primark, picked one up the other week but was in a bit of a rush and the queue was massive, especially since it was all I wanted in there. Went back yesterday and - you've guessed it - all out now!! Hope they get some more in, they seemed to be running really low on the Christmassy items - I mean it's 3 weeks to go yet, surely they should have planned more stock in? Ah well. Watched the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special tonight which made me smile.

    I wouldn't hold your breath. Our Home Bargains now only has half an isle of Christmas goods left. I think everywhere has got a lot less stock in this year.
    Goodness knows what the people who haven't started yet are going to buy.

    Nanamia Hope you are OK.xx
    It's not like you not to say goodnight. xxx

    Moneysavingmumofone and Snugglebunny I'm in need of your words of wisdom where are you?

    Our Christmas baby Levan/franklin must be making us wait a while longer. He's obviously very comfy where he is. Bless him. Thinking of you and DH Chirpy :)

    Can't sleep :(

    Been up just over an hour. Have tidied up and am just about to make the tags for my malteser pints.
    I will be glad when tomorrow is over. You would think I was having major surgery, not doing a school Christmas fair.:o
    I just don't like the unknown. I think once I have done this first one I will be Ok.
    I don't have much left to do now, so at least by doing a bit now I will be able to relax a bit this evening.:rotfl: Like that is going to happen.

    Right off to start cutting.
