Oooo this colour scheme is a bit of me

Neon pink green and yellow

Husband is going shopping for birthday presents for me today….even after 20 years of marriage he’s not very good at it! He’s taking Oliver who is just as bad!

One year I got pink baking trays and a Smurf onesie!

My birthday is 100 days before Christmas which is why the baubles are below along with their new packaging

A few things have knocked my confidence this week both home, work and omm related and I’ve really been a bit down and sad…despite being told I’m talented, having some lovely helpers this week and finally seeing movement in my list

Apparently it’s a real thing Negativity bias, also known as the negativity effect, is a cognitive bias that human cognition is relatively more affected by a negative affect than an equally potent positive affect.

And just to cheer me up I’m at the dentist today 😂 EDIT**** it was as bad as usual, are dentist paid to make you feel bad? 😢

What are your weekend plans?

Just a little civil engineer with a side hustle

You lot say such lovely things ❤️

It’s almost September….when can I start using the Christmas boxes

Asking for a friend 😂

Right I need some help…I know I’ve joked about this but even this week I haven’t got close to reducing the list. I’m forever grateful for the orders and you all helping me grow…but I can’t do this on my own anymore.

My lead times are about 5 weeks, I hate it! I’ve even thought I should close my books or limit to a certain number but that kind of defeats the object of a growing business….but OMM has become all consuming and I need some relief 🥲

Can anyone use canva? It’s mostly a copy and paste job

Willing to pay on free tshirts and maybe even real money although don’t think I can run to the living wage 😂

My list is still huge…but I’ve made a dent in it this week

Loads to do when I get home and to start the 250+ shirts for the Airey trip in 2027

Where are you this weekend?

I think it’s about time for icons, hero’s and turfs part 4

But what do you want?

Remember the make great stocking fillers for when I’ve closed my books for Christmas 🎅

Things I forgot this week
👚the colour of someone’s shirt
💈the time of Oliver’s hair cut (it was not 11.30!)
✅ a size change for someone’s shirt
🧠 My own name

Things I remembered
🎶 all the words to a song from 35 years ago
🗺️a place I had visited when I was a kids despite never being again since then
📞my university land line number
🏧the login number for a long closed bank account

Being 47, busy and menopausal are hell of a combination!

Anyway this went out last week in a slightly different finish but the orange does work well with a bright print

Friday….i have about 3 million things to do today before we go to Cornwall for a week of chaos

What are your weekend plans?
