November 2008

We went off on a date with the Snow Dome in Tamworth on Friday evening and I tried skiing again. It was REALLY busy - and brilliant - - after a wobbly start… I could hardly walk the next day. We woke up late at precisely 11:11am and raced off for a free breakfast at Cafe Rouge before 12 noon (wit…

I had the day off on Wednesday and went early morning riding through lots of mud and branches - it was great fun. I then raced back to meet Em and we went into Worcester for lunch and shopping! We had a great time…This is a nice flyer from Topshop - I got a new bag with a surprise opening effect!

...most of my weekend was spent in front of the tv or washing up! The chocolate fridge cake was a success - - - four pieces went with us to Rob & Laura’s for dinner on Friday evening where we also had a yummy chilli. We left Jemima dog in one room and Jemima cat (Rob and Laura’s kitten) in anoth…

I have just made the chocolate fridge cake and want to eat it! This is the chocolate that’s in it… I ate one of these bars instead -

We went out late night shopping in Debenhams last night - to spend the last of our wedding money. We got 2 dressing gowns, Mark got some jeans, I got some earrings and we also got a seasgrass trunk for the top of Mark’s wardrobe (nice!). I’m reading this book now - and chose it because I LOVE the co…

We went to Mum and Tony’s for dinner on Sunday evening and got a present from their Eden Project visit…some Cornish line-caught mackerel - yum! I like the packaging - but I haven’t actually tried them yet… This is nice beer packaging too - Brahma beer - Cerveja do Brasil…

Apart from humans, foxes are the most widely distributed land mammals on earth!

I am spending most of my time now planning for the first 3 trade shows I am doing next year - Top Drawer Spring, the Spring Fair and Progressive Greetings Live. There is so much to do!

It has been raining for ages now… drip, drip…

We spent all weekend at home and only popped out to walk Jemima / get some food - it was nice! I had a fair bit of work to do - and Mark made a wardrobe smaller to fit into our bedroom alcove! On Friday we had M&S dinner for two for £10, on Saturday night I cooked spag bog, and on Sunday Mark co…

On Tuesday I went to London for the day and met up with Rachel Goodchild (another greetings card publisher) and we went to a meeting with lots of other greetings card publishers at the Business Design Centre in Islington all about the new show we’re doing there in May 2009 called Progressive Greetin…

Well - I now know what it’s like to hit the wall - we climbed a mountain in Wales on Monday (I had a small holiday!) and my legs did NOT want to work at all!
