Last Sunday was church as usual, only we were joined by Libby and her friend Janet from the good ol' USA! I hope that they enjoyed their visit to our little church, we certainly enjoyed having them with us.
After church, and a quick cup of tea I had to leave as I was meeting Debbie, my kids and my mother-in-law in Canterbury, as they were visiting to do some shopping. This was also a great opportunity to show them the window display in the shop that the Bishop and I created...I think they liked it! The shop really does look different with the display there.
Yesterday I had to go to our web designers, Red Carrot in Ashford for some training with regards to our website...which, I'm sure that you remember will be www.canterburychurchshop.co.uk
The training was quite interesting and they assure me that I am now an expert in being able to upload items, etc, etc....watch this space!
In the afternoon I met the Bishop and Roy at the Designer Outlet in Ashford for coffee and gave them an update, they seemed pleased.
That brings us nicely on to today. I was up at cock-o-doodle-do hours to get to the shop early, as I needed to finish work early today. Whilst at the shop BT turned up and finally managed to sort our phoneline out (by installing a new one)...so we now have a working phone...proof it were ever needed that miracles can happen!!
Also South East Water turned up and confirmed that we can have a water meter fitted, so it seems like we will be paying a lot less than £243 for a years supply considering that we only have a toilet and very small hand basin! However, we now have to wait for them to do the job!!
I also managed to build the shop counter that the Bishop purchased...flatpack of course...I have to admit that I was getting a little stressed as the instructions left a lot to be desired!! Still, I did it...if at first you don't suceed...rip the instructions up and do it your own way!
By the time that was all done it was time to come home. It was my little boy's sports day at school today, so I wanted to be there to watch him. He did very well, he even came 2nd in one race. He did cheat in the ball and spoon (aka egg and spoon) race, as for the vast part of the race he held his ball to the spoon!!! You have to admire his initiative.
I'm still sticking to the diet like glue, some of the products, actually all of them are quite tasty...so far, so good!
Well, that's the finish line for this latest blog post.
Until next time..............

I can certainly understand your frustration with directions: my husband has joked that a good pre marriage counseling should include the couple working together to build some piece of furniture from IKEA. We have long said it was a test of OUR marriage to build our television stand!
ReplyDeleteI actually lost 2# on the trip! And it seemed I was eating all the time! Good luck with your diet!
