Busy this week!

Managed to sort out quite a few loose ends this week. It always feels good to get things boxed off when they have been hanging around.

We are busy making lists for the impending trip to Uni on Saturday. My daughter hasn't even done her washing and clothes packing yet. I would really like to see how much stuff there is so I can judge if it will go in the car. May have to take the campervan.

It seems a really long week as most of her friends have been gone a week or two already.

This Friday is the Macmillan Coffee Morning, in our village hall. Thanks to Seb for sending T-shirts, cake stands, cup cake cases and buntings for us to put up. I just need to sort out a few things for the sale table, and check that someone will be able to let us into the hall at 8.15am. I have made loads of marmalade to sell, and a friend is making posh cakes. Yummy!

Finally it has stopped raining after 3 days of non-stop downpours. So glad that we live on a hill, and not at the bottom of it!

Time Flies!

It's ages since I posted anything. We've been busy sorting out the stuff that my daughter needs for uni. New duvet, pots & pans, stationery, laptop to mention a few things! Anyway, I think most of it is now purchased. Just need to get her a bit of food shopping at the last minute. We will take her down to Warwick on September 29th, and call at her Nan's on the way. Dentist appointment out of the way this morning (she has to pay once she is 19 in 3 weeks), and haircut next week.

My new assistant came over on Monday and finished one job whilst she was here. I sent her off with 3 others which she has almost finished. She will come back on Wednesday.

Yesterday I went to a Macmillan World's Biggest Coffee Morning host event in Accrington. I have held one of these in our village hall for the past 12 years. Got some freebie teabags, biscuits, buntings & badges.

This is me in the centre, with the local fundraising team.  The main event is on 28th September. We hope to raise at least £300. Apparently I am one of the top fundraisers in our area.

I will try to liven up my blog with a few pictures and other stuff, once I have worked out what to do! Off to make coffee now !
