Well this is it - the busiest day of the year has rolled around once again so wish me luck! I think I'm going to need it. 

Twenty minutes before we were due to close this evening who should walk into the shop? Bloody Emma! She came running up to the counter looking all panicked and babbling "I've got something to tell you!"

Ho hum there's no rest for the wicked.

Am back to work a triple today after a lovely holiday in Slovakia, which I shall endevour to write something about later on.
