Hi everyone, just a quick visit, been manic here past week. Had wedding to go to Friday which was lovely, two in two weeks was an experience. Two daughters moved house yesterday so was helping with that all day, was so tired last night and still had two cushions to make for craft fair today and had to bring everything down ready for pick up this morning at 9.30. Will be out most of the day. Tomorrow I am helping daughters give the old house a good clean ready for them to hand keys back to get deposit returned, then may be day off Tues unless I get roped into helping at new house.

Rufus - good luck with all the house cleaning!!

We had a quietish day - did a table-top sale there was only 4 tables there - sold £25 only £4 for the table, so a few quid in the holiday pot.

Grandad Hoodie got spolit - set a budget £10 each off me and Miss Hoodie
from me 3 books, FCUK set, car care set (1p spare)
Miss Hoodie 4 books, fcuk set, best dad note pad, beer bottle top alarm clock (overspent by £1) - can't complain saved money - original cost mine should been £29 and hers £43. He's happy xx

Mum2one, you do well with your table top sales. The craft fair wasnt bad today, really enjoyed myself as had a lot of people to chat to. Have a sore throat now lol with all the chatting but dont think it will hang around long. Came away with £32 so not bad.

I was looking at those Mum2one - Thought they would make nice christmas gifts for his class, good value and look special and different too. I think they do another sale at the end of summer but might be wrong.

Thxs for the heads up pips mum. Had a browse and ordered some things.
I bought 10 or those cans mum2one so I hope there'll be five of each.

Rufus and mum2 one that's great you made a bit of money from fairs / sales , people are not buying at the moment . I think everyone will start in september. I think there'll be a lot of cut backs this year, I don't think anyone thought the recession would go on and on and on
