Have just finished some bridal jewellery, love doing that, makes it so special, so hopes she likes it.

Starting some new designs, black and gold ...... made a couple of pendants so far .... probably won't get much done over the holidays but will crack on with it when the girls are back at school .....

Went to BCTF on Monday, dominated by jewellery as usual but some great pieces, some very talented people ......... hope they got lots of orders, its expensive and tiring.

Going for a run with Barbara then in to town with the girls to meet my neice and shop ..............

Half term ........ got bits done today and baked bread! even had an order for some earrings ........ girls have chilled enjoying the luxury of being at home all day .... lit an 'early' fire so its nice and cosy ..... hoping to go to Manchester this week, see the Bond film, go to Halloween party, might even go for a run!!!

Happy Birthday to my youngest daughter ........... teenager today! Because of the weird Easter set up she has had to go to school for the first time on her birthday ..... not happy!

Helped at the parents Coffee Morning over the weekend which was a great success, they raised a lot of money for Cenacolo (will expain that one day! or you could google it). Saw a friend on Sunday and caught up ...............

Did another good run yesterday ......... got my shopping done and last minute birthday bits .... helium balloon included. Couldn't get one with 13 on though which was disappointing.

Doing more website work today ......... tax stuff ..... taking Ann shopping .... normal Tuesday stuff ......... really want to see Son of Rambow and Mama Mia, must organise it. Watched Little Miss Sunshine on DVD which was very entertaining, directed by Jonathan Dayton ......... dysfunctional family on a journey together in a VW van which is falling apart like their family relationship but all comes good in the end ........... funny film.

Filling out a 7 day Epic food diary for Institute of Cancer ....... have to record every morsel which passes my lips! Hadn't realised how many sweets/chocs just pop into my mouth on a daily basis!

Off to get a coffee now ............. and some fudge!

Its Thursday already!! Have accomplished alot so far this week.

Went for a run with Barbara yesterday after attending eldest daughter's award ceremony at school - 3 awards wow, very proud parents! The run was good, did about 9 km then came home, finished a silver order off for a local shop and delivered it.

Also managed to get all the jewellery done I need to take to Manchester with me, just a few finishing off bits to do. Now I need to design the display to attract shoppers my way! Costs keep going up, sorting and hiring a mobile card machine is expensive ....... sorting the display will cost as well though at least I can re-use it a few times.

Today I finished my City and Guilds course in Art and Design, hurray, but need to buy a tumble polisher as I have been using the one at the college for the last year. The effect is great so its worth investing in one.

Tonight its a clay pidgoen shoot for the Rotary Club ....... ooops its already raining ....... and a BBQ so might just give it a miss.

Tomorrow its working in the shop again ....................
