Don't want to wake up this morning!
We have school award ceremony at 9am then I am going to see that dress shop in the next town. But after that is done I am coming home to rest up! Bf is looking to stay at home because he has his daughter over, with her broken foot, and the baby will be back from the Dad's at some stage today. So I only have Dgd and myself to worry about tonight.
For the next week I will be on the antibiotics. So I will be taking care of me. I still need to work until Saturday afternoon.
Our holiday starts Sunday.
I still need to pack DGDs clothes for her trip to her Mums on Friday.

Well I am so excited because it looks highly likely that I will be opening up another Alterations room in Towcester based within one of the Boutique Dress shops. Starting a couple of days a week, to start with. Once I have my staff in place in Brackley.
I will probably be paying a % of the takings rather than paying a rent. So I am going to really think about my costs, staff levels and look at the bottom line.
My foot is in quite a bad way and I'm sitting at my daughter's with my feet propped up on a stool!
Dgd got two awards at school today and I have to go back for an exhibition of sculptures at 3pm

Mooloo, look after yourself an we'll done on your future satalite sight.

Now for the tough love! Do set you prices so you make money, you cannot afford two shops that fail to pay you a wage, all you will be doing is doubling your problems.

So, do some research, go to up market shops and ask about the cost of alterations and ask the market price not your 'I'm nice and kind 'price

Well done again.

Promise I will be on the financial case!

Bf changed his plans and came over in the evening. After trying to sort out our seating on Ryanair ( separated us at either end of the plane!) I suppose he has had to pay more but I was not happy when he said we weren't together. ( I suspect he just didn't want to pay the extra charges- but I could have told him that Ryanair would separate us, it's been on Watchdog a few weeks ago.
Anyway he has sorted it, and then he went for a run. As I wasn't expecting him I used the last pizza for tea as it was nearly 9 pm
Started to watch Death in Paradise but wasn't really very brilliant so I came to bed.
So my foot has been up quite a bit, and the swelling is reduced. But as soon as I put my foot on the floor the pain gets worse.
I think I will only be at work for a short time today. I have to sort out DGDs clothes today ready for her to go to her Mums tomorrow. So I am thinking that I will attempt to get some clothes sorted before work, then go in, as I think if I leave it till tonight I will be struggling.
Neighbour's going to take Dgd to school for me, but Dgd is complaining.
At times she frustrates me so much. She knows I couldn't walk it yesterday and had to have a lift. She can see the state of my leg, but expects me to change my mind because she's throwing a hissy fit.

Other people and your planning don't always mix.
Messaged seamstress to ask her if she would do any fittings booked in and she said she had started to come to work, wasn't happy because of the rain and she's gone back home!! But after talking to me she has decided that she will go back after all. However that will mean she will be later than opening time, and fittings will be delayed.
Luckily staff is able to open up and she will go in and try to let people know of the delay.
The neighbour forgot to take Dgd so I had to throw a dress on and drive her! Owwwww is all I can say. Foot quite painful when using the clutch.
I have cooked a bag of chicken pieces, when done I will use some today and freeze the rest for later. But I am resting my foot again before I start to pack DGDs clothes. Washing as I go along.

Imagine if we have snow!
I will have to think about that now!
I slowly sorted through DGDs bedroom and packed her bag ready. Just toys and gadgets to think about.

Problem with DS job. The charges etc for the van hire are more than he earned. They took the van off of him yesterday and won't give him his car back until he pays them £237.
Biggest is trying to sort him out at the moment. I will have to have her children while she does the commute etc.
Today is not going to plan.

Wont give him his car back!!!
I am sure that is not legal :eek:
