Mirror tissue box cover

This pretty dressing table piece must be one of the most popular accessories with our customers. Almost as soon as we get them back in stock, they are snapped up and sell out again very quickly.

Our delivery this week was double the number of the previous one and guess what? They are selling like hot cakes again!
Well, it's Saturday evening on a typically wet summer's day, Dave and I have feasted on stew and new potatoes (and are now feeling slightly overfed) and are back to our computers. Not as sad as it sounds, we are so close to being able to launch our new look website that I want to just push ahead and get it finished. One or two of my friends have had a sneak preview and tell me that it is looking good and is easy to use... which is the result we have been aiming for ~ hooray!
So here I am, on the sofa surrounded by my cats (well it's wet outside) with early evening entertainment on the telly and I am being entertained, but somewhat cruelly at other peoples' expense. It's some bizarre kareoke thing.
I have never understood the appeal of standing in front of strangers and singing one's little heart out... no hang on, that's exactly what I was doing only two weeks ago in Hyde Park. The difference being that I wasn't on the stage, I was in the crowd with 30 thousand other people also singing their little hearts out.
Mama Mia has come to our local cinema this weekend, but Dave doesn't want to take me in case I start singing and dancing in the aisle, so I will have to wait and take Cecily later in the week (I'll report back on whether we manage to sit still and silently through it).
Well, I have finished my cuppa so it must be time to start a bit more data imputting,
chat soon, Liz

Rainy nights are always nice when you can snuggle under a nice blanket and listen to it hitting the windows and ground outside... but I am sure with as much rain as you get you're probably so sick of it. I wish you could send a few of those rainy days my way. I would totally trade you for our 97 degree, sunny days. :)
