No. I try and encourage people to book up front and pay £10 but if they insist on paying on the day they pay £12. Most of the time this works and people would rather pay the £10. The awkward sod who wanted the private lesson I did not have time to get a deposit from her.... Next holidays I may enforce the pay before the day except for people that I know I can rely on. I now have a better database as well so I can blackball people who mess me around like that.

Good for you!

Having a generally good day today. A friend came over for coffee this morning and then I went for lunch with another really good friend. It has picked me up no end. The element arrived for my kiln this morning. You could have knocked me over with a feather, I only ordered it yesterday and the sales lady said they would have to make it to order which would take a couple of days. Obviously someone in the factory looked at the order and went "Yeh we have one of those somewhere" and got it straight in the post. I am most impressed with them. I am also quite impressed with myself as I am well into fitting the new element myself. I have found the isolation switch on the fusebox, dismantled the electrics, taken out the old element and am in the process of persuading the new element (think 6 foot long spring!!!) into the grooves on the side of the kiln. At that point I decided I needed a cup of tea and a biscuit before I stretch the spring a little to make it stay put. So far this has been a doodle (and quite fun to be an engineer again) and to think I was willing to pay someone £100 to do this!!

Awesome. I wouldn't know where to start
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Wow! That's amazing! I'm so impressed with the company and with you!

Another good day. Took H and A to the wetlands reserve and spent a wonderful afternoon feeding the ducks, geese and swans. We fell in love with the call ducks and the kids would have smuggled one out if they could have.
