It's Saturday

 

Good Saturday Morning Ladies, 

Firstly I'd like to bless you all with all of the above 🤣😂😘

I hope that you are all well and relaxed and ready for the weekend.   Our plans changed,  no Anniversary weekend away this week,   sometimes things just aren't meant to be.   We did still go to Farnborough,  Paul offered for us to stay somewhere nearby but A) there wasn't anywhere that was interesting enough to make a weekend of and B)  After a somewhat painful Bladder Clinic visit my bladder was sensitive overnight and throughout the day but after a trip to toilet in the afternoon I had the most agonising bladder spasm,  iit bought me to tears,  I am keeping everything crossed that its just a flare up caused by yesterday's treatment,  I asked her to dip my sample and she said it was ok,  which makes me hopeful,  either way it would have been miserable to be struggling with that pain after spending money on hotels etc.  

Now onto Farnborough show,  in all honesty it was a let down,  luckily we got concessionary tickets so paid £12 for both Paul and I,  I would have been furious if I'd spent £12 each,  there were way more sewing stands than craft,  there may have been 10 proper craft stands, you know its bad when even Honeydoo aren't there as they attend every show,   apart from Card io and Sweet Poppy stencils most other stands had those big bins of naff bits that you have to rummage through,   there wasn't any card selling companies,  in fact it's quite sad when you think back to some of the company's that used to be at the shows,  Clarity, Lilli of the Valley,  Pin Flair, Pink Frog, Anna Marie Designs plus her husband's paper stand, limetree,  Crafters Companion,  indigo Blu,  Stamps Away,  creative expressions, Gummiapan to name a few,  there was always a real buzz of excitement around the exhibition halls, I overheard a conversation at the Dies to Die for stand about the problem they had with theft,  at the last show they lost £400 of stock to theft, which on top of the cost of exhibiting at the shows meant they barely make a profit,  which explains why companies don't bother I guess.   Which is such a shame as there is nothing like seeing the craft demos and holding the actual craft products in your hand.  

My Shopping 

That's it,  crazy compared to what I used to get !! 

I did go onto Charmed Craft and order the Poem and Flowers Stamperia collection to compensate! 🥰😍

Sonia's Shopping 

Sonia had a much more successful Shopping spree than I did,  I think you must have bought most of that before I arrived Sonia!!   I can't wait to see what you create with your lovely haul.   

This reminder needs NO explanation 🥰😍😘

Not sure what our plans for the weekend are now 🤔,  it will depend on my bladder I guess.   Our village has a festival on today,  so all being well we may visit that,  Lucy and Soph are both suffering with flu symptoms, so they won't want to go,  I'm hoping they keep it to themselves.  

I hope that you all have a lovely Saturday,  

Love and hugs to all,
