Thanks again for all of the kind comments on my anniversary giveaway post, I really appreciate them. The good old random number generator has been set in motion again and has turned up number 426
which is a comment from Peggy Sue:
How
sweet of you to do a giveaway. I haven't a snowball's chance in July of
winning, but do wish to be kept on the list for a chance to purchase in
the future. Thank you!

I'm waiting to hear back which animal she's chosen but when she's emailed and I've finished adding names to the mailing list I'll sort out a sale of those remaining.
We've had a busy week here with both of the children celebrating their birthdays. Amy had her 11th birthday party last weekend – a crazy affair with 4 friends coming for a disco, pizza, film and sleepover.
Luckily the boys went to stay elsewhere and so Amy and her friends could go really wild! Needless to say sleep did not feature very prominently as they eventually settled down at 2am and woke at 7.30, but a lot of fun was had.
Toby's birthday is coming up this weekend and we'll be having a quiet bouncy castle party with balloons, bubbles and lots of french fancies (Toby's favourite cake!) – much more my kind of party!

Congratulations to Peggie Sue!
Happy Birthday Amy and Toby!!
I always found sleepovers to be a bit of a misnomer as sleep rarely featured during them! Given the choice I think I’d go for the bubbles and french fancies too!!

I am certain, thanks to Peggy Sue, that ALL snowballs left in July will take great heart at her win! Many congrats. But Peggy – do NOT take the one I want, please.
I have two children with birthdays in October also and one of them is TODAY!! It’s the best month. And I’m SO glad you survived a passel of twelve year old girls gone wild. May you live through the weekend!
Hugs to all, and may autumn put a quilt of happiness around your hearts.

Well done to Peggy Sue and happy birthdays all round! I think that “sleep-over” is such a misnomer – it should be “pretend to sleep but instead spend all night giggling and then be grumpy to mum and dad all the next day – over” but I don’t think it scans quite as well!!

“Happy Birthdays” to The Birthday People, and lovely bubbles and French Fancies too. Yum!
Glad you had fun…I love late nights…but I’ve always thought that “sleep-over” means what it says…because sleep certainly is over for anyone within a five-giggle radius of the participants! Jenni xx

We are currently raising money, in work, for the MacMillan Nurses and anyone who can bake or offer any other suggestions can do so. I found your little knitted stockings the other day and thought I could make some to sell nearer christmas, with all money going to MacMillan. Is that OK.
