Funny old week

It's been a busy but quiet week, if that makes any sense.

Unfortunately last Tuesday morning Alanna came downstairs and declared she was too ill to go to school. Well she was right, my 4 year old who absolutely loves school had a horrible flu/tummy type bug and was not at all right.

After getting her sister ready for school and dragging her with us, I made the decision that she really wasn't well enough to spend the day at the shop with me. As we have no relatives that live closer than 25 miles away it meant shutting the shop, not something I do lightly.

So the shop was shut for the next three days, however I still had orders to see to so I was popping down with her for an hour or so to try and keep on top of them. I was also trying to prep for the class on the Thursday night (will upload completed layout in a moment) and for my 9 hour crop here on the Saturday. All of this with a sickly 4 year old, a healthy 7 year old wanting lots of attention and me fast coming down with the same bug - eeeeeek.

Thursday was very good - 32 Ladies kindly took my class and I think they enjoyed themselves. I croaked away to them and ran around like a loon as I hadn't expected that many and so was trying to put more kits together. At the same time I was teaching the class and trying to man the shop - LOL.

Saturday was another lovely day and thankfully Penny came to the rescue and not only taught the class that we had already planned but another one too. She was showing someone her album and they begged her to teach one that was in there. After a quick dash over to the shop to pull the bits together she got on with it - she's a real trooper :)

I was meant to be staying over at her house on the Saturday to go to Craftyness's Crop and Create on the Sunday, but had to back out as I felt so lousy I knew I needed a collapse day on the Sunday.

So it's Monday now and I have a weigh in tomorrow morning - do I think I've lost any this week - not a chance in hell. All I've done for the last three days is stuff my face as I needed comfort food. Oh well, there's always next week to hit the 1 Stone mark :)


Right let's see if Blogger is behaving and will let me upload this layout
