    All sounds positive Bob, I'm so pleased this month is looking up for you :)

    Thanks Kirsty :)
    Amazing news on the new bookings, Bob! :)
    I think the idea of finding your unicorn is a really good one. Instagram leads to such consumer-competitiveness and if it works for Starbucks sugarexplosionaccinos and Lush bath bombs then it should work for you on a smaller scale :)

    Btw, at first I thought "finding your unicorn" was MSE jargon that I hadn't heard before, I googled those drinks and ... wow. People must be buying solely to take photos of them because I can't imagine that they would taste good at all?! I used to love their caramel macchiatos but I think that was just because it masked the burnt coffee, burnt milk taste of their normal coffee! ... thinking about drinking one now makes my teeth hurt :D

    Oooo the Lush bath bombs is a new one on me, what are they up to then?
    I think you have knocked the nail on the head re unicorns taste wise. Apparently the most successful *bucks drink of all time is the Pumpkin Spiced Latte. Again not something I could personally imagine drinking. But not the point.

    Hello All

    Well I hope the forth was with you all today :)

    I am utterly amazed to report another booking today! That's 3 in a row this week. Hat trick, back of the net, woo hoo!

    It's been a very packed day, double school run as OH was away. Flyering for several hours. Playground extravaganza for DD, who clobbered herself on the slide and now has a red nose. Wombling of two chairs from a big pile of rubbish outside a house I flyered. Had to then carry the chairs and push the buggy till I could drop them off. Discussing weekend plans with one client, amending order for materials to take in new plans. Trying to keep the house on track despite being out all day (I didn't change the beds for the first Thursday in a very long time, which unsettles me) pack for tommorows swim gala for DS , and and and...I would die for a glass of wine right now but I darent in terms of being on it for the start of the weekend madness.

    I love the busy, and the amazing fortune that the universe is sending my way. Now if I can just get through the weekend without forgetting anything I will be eternally grateful.

    Night.

    Bob

    Another booking, that excellent. Things are on the up :T

    Wow you were mega busy yesterday, hope today's less manic x

    Thank you, yes it went away. Very odd. I'm wondering if it's a reaction to something. Will keep an eye.

    Thanks Huggle. Swim gala was really good. Great to see the effort the kids all went to. Well organised etc.

    Evening All

    Well that's a new record set this week. Today I had my 4th booking. I have never known this to happen before. I get enquiries most days but not ones that all want to book. So horray for that.

    Have been busy prepping for tommorow. And another viewing tonight. If I don't get on over the weekend hope everyone has a good one!

    Bob
