    Maybe but jelly babies are not on offer and I am holding out for the several million pounds per speech that nursemaggie obviously thinks I am worth. If anyone demurs I will refer them to her. Should I hear of any organisation paying jelly babies for after dinner speaking I will forward your name. Me, I'll take the money.

    burtha I hope last night's "special guest" brought in enough extra customers to enable you still to turn a profit :)

    Brrr, it looks horribly dark and gloomy out there this morning. Anyone got sunshine?

    Good Heavens burtha. I could never compete with that. Try the Jellybaby Queen, you may have more luck there and if she is willing to be paid in sweeties, bite her arm off. OH. NO! Don't do that, she wouldn't be able to knit another sock.

    It's gloomy and cold here today. I haven't ventured out yet and in fact, I'm finding it hard to get motivated to move at all. Perhaps one more coffee before I get stuck in. Today I am going to tackle the toy mountain again.

    Yes. Definitely another coffee is called for.

    I'm having a truly horrible day here, full of family illness and deep drama. I don't do drama at all well. I just want to bite somebody. I need a bl00dy iv of jellybabies infused in pernod.
