I'm so fed up...

Well, I never made the church fair today. I didn't realise till I talked to my mum that it didn't start till 7pm and finishes about 10pm. It's about 45 minutes away from home, so even if I left at 10pm I wouldn't be home till almost 11pm. With 2 sick kids and hubby sick too it didn't seem fair to leave them all at home on their own while not well.

I'm so fed up as I was really hoping to sell some of my cards and handmade soaps to make some money for the Royal Marsden Hospital's Cancer Campaign to rebuild the Children and Teenage Unit where my son Tim was treated in 2002. My good friend Han donated lots of lovely cards she'd made to sell too. I'm just hoping some of my colleagues at work will buy some instead and I may make some money to donate. Oh well, these things happen for a reason. My family is most important so I can't do everything and they come first.

I'll post some pics of my soaps tomorrow. They look really nice wrapped in cellophane and would make great tree presents. Such a shame I can't sell them.

  3. Hi Susie, they are really easy to make. Found a website selling huge blocks of glycerin which you just cut up and melt in a microwave. Just add cosmetic colour, scent and glitter, pour into a mould and leave for 2 hours. Take out of moulds and leave to dry for 2 days. That's it. Thanks for the good wishes, Clare x
