Shhhhhh!

Shhhh! Don't tell Steve I'm here posting a message. I should have finished tidying up ages ago. And I should have had a shower and been in bed by now. But as he's working nights, he'll never know (because I certainly don't think he reads this blog!)

I decorated two cakes today. One's being collected in the morning and the other one I'm delivering tomorrow night. Both are for Saturday, but I had to bring them both forward a day, because I'm going away for the weekend! :o) It's "work" related. I'm going here:

I'm leaving home at 6.30am on Saturday morning and driving to St. Albans, where I'm meeting someone I know through the British Sugarcraft Guild. OK, so when I say I 'know' them, we haven't actually met before. But she sounds normal on the phone... You know... she doesn't sound like a mad, axe-wielding murderer, LOL!!!

From St. Albans, she's driving us to Birmingham. We're staying in a B&B, 'cause we're going to the exhibition both Saturday and Sunday. I've got tickets for a workshop and a demo whilst I'm there, so I'm really excited. Hopefully on the Saturday night we'll meet up with some other people from the BSG for a meal or something. And I've found out that a friend I met through Babyworld is going again this year! It'll be lovely to catch up with her.

Got a busy time coming up.

Back from the NEC on Sunday evening.
Monday 17th, decorate a cake.
Tuesday 18th deliver a cake in Hemel Hempstead!
Friday 21st I've got a cake.
Tuesday 25th meeting a friend in Bluewater
Saturday 6th Daniel's birthday
Sunday 7th Daniel's party

Then, I've got a LOT of cookies to do. And when I say a lot, I mean a lot. Between 12th and 23rd December, I've got 1020 cookies to do. Thankfully, I'm not decorating them. But I DO need to make a start on the cookie dough. It freezes beautifully. I can and will cut out a lot of them and freeze them raw (subject to space!) But, thinking about it, I won't have space for all of them.

I think that's everything for now.

I'll report back after the weekend. But now, I'd better tidy and get to bed!!!!
