    Well this virus has thrown a huge spanner in the works hasn't it?!
    It looks like our holiday might not be happening this year after all, as much as I'll be gutted there is also a bit of me that is quite happy not to spend that money. I'll see what the next few weeks bring but it's looking unlikely at the moment.
    I'm struggling already without any football or betting to do. I am going to write a huge long list of bits and bobs that need doing around the house, seems the perfect time to get on with it if we're stuck indoors for weeks on end.
    At the moment school is still open but it's assumed we'll be shut by friday this week and there's very little I can do from home in my role. We'll see what the next few days brings.
    I've also had a few events cancelled that I'd booked with my cards, I will be focussing on my online selling with those. Hopefully there might be demand for Get Well cards, 'thinking of you' type notecards and our new craft kits which are basically papercraft kits that take 10-20 hours to complete each. New challenges ahead, hey!

    Let me have a look Beanie, I have a feeling I sold the last one at the last event I did but will check x
    I think being on here for donkeys years will stand me in good stead over the next few weeks / months, but even so it's frightening times ahead financially for all.

    Sorry Beanie, I don't have one at the moment - I was going to do a big order last week to stock up for some upcoming events. Fortunately I was busy and didn't place the order, all but one events have already been cancelled :( 
    I am hoping to do an open house (for non-infected locals :) ), and will increase my online activity on facebook. 
    I was surprised bu the decision today to keep schools open while telling us to avoid pubs and restaurants - we have 1400+ students at school plus another 150 staff. Some of my students have parents / siblings who are undergoing chemo, have recently had heart surgery etc ... those kids should not be asked to come into school and be in contact with so many others and then go home and potentially pass on germs ...
