Well, i am now officially working my notice, and to be honest i am pretty bored. I've been off for over a year and need retraining in just about everything, but now they know i am leaving that is not happening (fair enough) So i am kind of sat here ( typing my blog) with nothing to do. I have changed my google places to reflect the new shop address, i have read a few other blogs and i have only been in for a few hours, 6.5 hrs to go :-(
I have had a fairly boring weekend (with too many takeaways!!)- i think i need a good kick up the backside and do something a bit more exciting or productive.
I am planning on ordering some new flyers and brochures for the shop and will get these delivered but not sure that it is strictly 'correct' to be doing this on work hours!!
Think i will sit here and look at holidays i dont currently have the time or money to go on- we all have to dream!!!!!
Bye for now x

A strange week
Its been a bad week for attendance at Felicitations this week, every thing seems to be fighting against us;
Last week my dad snapped his Achilles tendon playing football so i going to be in plaster for a long time, My mum had gone away on a girls weekend so he was on his own and somewhat stuck, so i spent the day with him. Early Saturday evening i get a call from Mark, the lock on the door had broke and he was locked in the shop. Mad dash down with Rufus and my Dad with a bunch of tools. It is proving fairly difficlut to get him out. How thieves manage to break locks so quickly is a mistery to me. Their skills really would be better off used more productivly. We call a locksmith and they quote £175 not inc VAT just to break in, so i decided to leave it much to the womans amusement!! After an hour or so we finally break in and free Mark. Who is fairly peed off by this point. A new lock is purchased and fitted! Enough drama one would think. My Mum has other ideas!!
A few days later my mum only bloody goes and slips over and thinks she has sprained her ankle at work. After much persuasion she finally allows me to take her to A and E 3 days after she fell and she has broke it!! so that is both parents in plaster! Friday day and evening sat in A and E with a baby is not fun!
Saturday has been and gone without being able to be in the shop as i had an 11 month old and 2 very annoying parents to look after. My Dad thinks he can carry on as normal- and tried to re-grout the patio, and my mum is less than useless on her crutches so is a real nightmare. There i am telling my parents off- how the tables have turned. Mark is off photographing a first holy communion for a friend of ours so we were not able to open the shop at all.
I have also finally gone back to the day job after over a year off on Maternity leave, it did not feel good :-( i have stuck at the job for 5 and half years as the money was good and it enabled us to achieve a lot, but there is so much more going on in my life that requires a lot of my time so i decided it was time to move on. So I have handed in my notice this week. I am pretty terrified if i am truly honest. Although we really have to put all our efforts into 'felicitations' or it just wont be worth it. If i dont we will always look back and wish we had tried harder. As Mark always says ' we slog our guts out for other companies, well it is time to do that for ours, at least we will gain directly from all our hard work'
So only a few more weeks working for someone else and then it is all down to us- exciting and terrifying all at the same time.
I am looking forward to a slightly more drama free weekend and maybe even a glass of wine and an open shop!!!!!
