Finally getting through it? *trigger*

[Suzi]

You are doing too much - but at least you are aware of it and you know that you can calm down a bit after Saturday... You're amazing!

[Angie]

Hun you will get it finished, try not to panic which I know is easier said than done x You have done amazingly well upto now

[Pen]

Where is your husband and son? Don't feel guilty for asking for help... you have helped them enough over the years.
I would say leave the painting till last if you run out of time and think you can get away with it.

Just two more beams...

Hubby is in Wales, dont know when he will be back. Son is in work till 6:30 tonight.

Well done for all your hard work. I don't know how you did it all. Best of luck for Saturday and for the future. I hope you get more people than you can cope with.

Sorry, I know hubby is in Wales, but I meant he ought to see what a big deal this is for you and offer to help. He doesn't seem very intuitive so can you try to tell him what you want? Otherwise I worry come Saturday morning he'll be off cutting someone's hedge instead of standing by your side.

I have a job for him for Saturday to take stuff to the tip and put other stuff in the attic. He regards the attic as his domain so if I threaten that I will put some stuff in there he will rush to do it :-) He did say that he would try and get some time off this week to help but so far no sign of him I have a secret hope that he will turn up sometime this evening.

Anyway painting is all done. Just need to :-
Fit the lock on the toilet door
Print out and distribute invitations for the neighbours
Fit the burglar alarm
Fix up the fire extinguisher and first aid kit
Put up the signs for the toilet, no smoking etc
Fix up the chain across the stairs to my private studio
Secure the bookcases to the wall
Put up a shelf at the back
Tidy up my "workshop" area where everything has been dumped
Put out the cardboard for the recycling
Find the foot off the chair that I accidentally threw away as rubbish
Plan activities for Saturday
prepare the clay
Make tools from lollypop sticks (dont want people on Saturday to use the proper tools as I am sure they will get nicked and they are too expensive to lose!)
Make posters
Fix my Open/Closed sign
Do an email out to my contacts to remind them about Saturday
Buy food and drink
Label 100 paper plates (and buy some more!!)

So not much to do really!!

[Suzi]

I don't think I've ever heard you so excited!!

[Pen]

Not sure that excited is exactly the word... terrified I think!

[Suzi]

But you are brilliant, capable and I know you can do it!

[Paula]

You're going to be amazing tomorrow
