Good luck All for this Weekend

[glow=pink,3,300]GOOD LUCK EVERYONE FOR TODAY AND THE WEEKEND !!!!![/glow]


I have the first day of my Awareness Weekend garage sale today starting at 10am.

I have been really struggling to do this at all because I really do have some kind of flu ( just my luck to get it right while the AW is due, I have not had a cold/flu type virus of any significance for many years, probably not for about 7 - BUT I have a real humdinger right now!!)

Anyway I hope so much someone comes!!! Because we have so much stuff to sell it is overflowing!! Lots of people donated stuff - but unfortunately no one could help us - not even management members etc - with the actual preparations - except Heather one of the management who came up in the week and cleaned loads of horse tack and is helping today -

But mostly we have had to fetch carry and c lean ourselves and with this cold/flu it was all I could do to do this all week and then throw myself exhausted into bed.

But I will take pictures of the sale to show you and hope that people turn up

Hope your events go well

Love Veritee

Thinking of all you wonderful ladies out there who are taking part.

I hope that wherever you are and whatever you are doing that the weather stays kind for you all, if it is an outside activity that you are doing.

Sending you all love and hugs for a very successful and happy weekend.

Good luck all.

I'm feeling guilty now at not managing to get anything done myself. I did however manage to have a good chat with everyone at the electorial count and we now have full backing of our local green party in collecting milk bottle tops. Also one lady wants a poster to advertise this site for her window.

Still using wii internet so will write more when I get my keyboard back.

Just having a tea/food break back in the house now - Barry is holding the fort and we are taking it in turns to have a break

Well ....... we - had an early rush as soon as we opened - when several car booters appeared - and bought most of the good stuff ............and I am such a terrible business woman ( and Barry is even worse) they knocked us down so much we only made about £10 - £15 have not added it up yet......................I know I really should have asked for more for everything, but I sort of feel embarrassed asking for more than a few pence for old stuff!!!!! .

Then a few locals turned up - but mostly just to say hello and have a chat!! It was nice they bothered and it turned it into a bit of a community event - but they bought very little, so we have not made much at all so far for the charity

The farmer's wife next door did come and buy some of my horse stuff for a good sum i.e a couple of bridles and numnas and two light turnout rugs..........but because I am not giving the full amount of anything that sold out of my horse stuff to PNI ORG UK - just a percentage of the final amount the horse stuff makes ......................., because all my horse stuff cost me loads and is of great sentimental value to me so I just did not feel I could donate it all to the charity.................................so what she bought will only raise a small amount for this charity - but every little helps .

Anyway - got to go back as the sale is 10 to 3pm both Sat & Sun so we may get some more customers up yet !!

However while it may not have been a great success as yet financially I have had quite a few families with young children up who were curious about what the charity did?

So it has been quite a good local PR exercise as I have spent a lot of time this morning explaining what we do and what PNI is all about and telling people the web site etc is here - so as money is not all of what this weekend is about - and awareness is a big part of it ...

I feel it so far has been worth it on the awareness side

Well just going to have a sandwich to take back out and then back to the sale

I have taken some pictures which I will post of the sale here later

How did it go - been thinking of you all x

[Veritee]

Well I have now given up for now and left a notice on the door of the garage, locked up and come in for some lunch.

Yesterday morning up to about 1.30 PM we did have a few people - but from then until we closed only one more!!!

Then today - no one at all!!

Well it has been raining, but it is stopped now so I hope that someone will come in the afternoon
