It's the pox!

Chicken pox, that is!
TBH I would have been surprised if he'd escaped this round of chicken pox, as every kid we come into contact with has had it in the last couple of months. Apparently it's up 70% from this time last year- and I'm not surprised.
On a purely selfish note, it had to appear on my busy day, his one and only session at nursery. Aside from all the daytime tv I was going to watch, I was going to do most of the prep for the Baby Show...

I have had loads of fabulous advertising opportunities in the last week too. I don't know if the season for the advertising folk to cast their nets is deliberately in synch with the home insurance callers, or is just one of these weird happenings, but there sure is a lot to wade through on a daily basis!

Sigh

Comic Relief- The Big One

Don't know about anyone else, but whilst I usually tune into the Red Nose Day I rarely really enjoy it. I'll often pop in and out of it hoping to see whatever the big event they've been hyping for weeks (remember the Harry Potter spoof??) More often than not the whole thing was a bit rubbish on the comedy side but this year has been really good! And I actually thought Tony Blair was funny!
Controversial?

Comedy aside... this night has broken my heart at least half a dozen times. You see the stories of babies dying from... well, poverty really, and you know that despite sending in all you can afford you can't make it right for all of them. Maybe it's a parenthood thing, but since I had J I can't bare to watch kids in pain. Don't get me wrong, I never liked it! But the thought of him going through what some of these kids go through... breaks my heart.

The Baby Show is coming

The leaflets have arrived, so everyone should be seeing the publicity around and about soon. And Bonnie Babies is on it! Woo hoo! Well in tiny type in a huge list of all the other stalls, but still there nonetheless!

It looks as if my great plan of keeping spending down to the bare minimum is in trouble. Well the plan holds, but the minimum is getting pretty high. Most of the things I'm hopefully going to sell have a wait time of a couple of weeks at least so I'm going to have to order them well in advance. Then I'll just have to hope that I can actually sell them! If I don't then it is going to take me a loooong time to pay off my credit card!

Please, please, please let me sell them!

Gosh, the exciting life of a high spending businesswoman :)
