So it's been almost a month since I posted here. A lot has happened, after visiting my Grandad in hospital, then at home and then at the hospice he finally died 3 weeks ago. He was pretty much with us and fairly chatty up unitl the last 3 days. We were never close but I really feel for my Dad, he has lost both his parents in the last 18 months. Anyway, as you can tell life has been fairly hectic, neither of my parents drive so my brother and I have taken it in turns to take my Dad back and to to visit my grandad.
Other stuff that has been going on is that we are decorating the hall...it's taking forever, it's like painting the bloody Forth Bridge! It should be finished by the end of next week, we've got to clean and polish up the floor tiles now that we have taken the carpet up. It's been hell trying to get the glue up that the carpet grippers were stuck down with.
Went to a Black Tie Do 30th birthday on Saturday, that was great fun and made me feel a lot brighter. I actually got glammed up for a change. I'm looking forward to Christmas, I love buying presents for folks and decorating the tree and the house. We've bought some icicle lights for outside very festive :0)
I've got a couple of craft fairs this weekend, hope I do ok at them. Trade at the shop has been fairly slow compared to last year, perhaps everyone is skint! My stock that I ordered back in September finally arrived and it is gorgeous, will have to take some photos and put them up on my Diva Pleasures site. So that's it for now. Don't know when I'll be writing again...I guess I'll just have to leave you in ant-ici-pation!....(to quote Rocky Horror)
