    Good luck with the sale. I was only thinking of Habibiboo the other day. I saw some glorious roses against a pergola - deep yellow.

    I was sitting with my mum at 2am as the storm woke her up and we were having a fine old chat :)

    Hope the day goes well. Tilly x x
    Good luck to you both :D

    Thank you both! Dd enjoyed her exams - and they were even running 10 mins ahead of schedule so ended up being early for the cheerleading at her school. They made it to my fair around 2pm and dd managed to bag a couple of dollys (as if we didn't have enough already!) for 20p each!

    I had a steady amount of sales and after deducting the float money and table cost, I made.....£104.70 :T. I had some lovely chats with people, and gave out my 'card' when I could. I shall certainly do the Christmas one at my school and keep producing the bunnies + mice + lavender bags, as well as more Christmassy things. A few people asked me if I did many fairs or sold online. One day...

    And, most importantly of all, I maintained an NSD :j.

    Tomorrow the forecast is looking more dodgy. Dd has a cheerleading event in a place I don't know and I have to drop her off and then loiter in the area for 2+ hours. Food, drink and a good book should enable another NSD...

    A quiet morning has been had and I would love to spend the afternoon snoozing and watching the Tour. But tis not to be. Have to venture off into the u known and find a specific hall for dd + friend to do their cheerleading in. Ah well.

    Got workout done (bodyweight, 3k, 5k, 5k) and caught up on the Jiggle free stuff.

    Now to drag girls away from the box...

    Adventuring into unknown parts - done.

    Cheerleading showcase watched and admired - done.

    Wonderful catch up with a mega busy friend whilst sat on the hillside for 90 mins before going to see above showcase - done.

    Safely home and still semi-coherent - done.

    Last week of term for me, so just 3 more days.

    Sun is shining, about 20 kiddies are off to do their d of e today and tomorrow so my y10 group is decimated and I shall be teaching/revising verbs and tenses and their use and formation. Am actually looking forward to it! Bizarrely, so are the kids that are left behind....as they know that they just don't 'get it' and this will be a useful time.

    Haven't made a bunny for 2 days...!

    Leg still sore where I tore the muscle but the big X lets me know where to press, to check it still hurts!

    Best shake a tail feather and wake dd and make breakfasts.

    Am not pressing the X much, honest! Have got through 2 ice pack thingys so far. Hadn't realised how little sitting down I do so have managed to fit them in my pocket.
