Stressful Week

It's been a seriously stressful week. We've been waiting on some money coming through and typically it's been like watching the proverbial kettle.
It finally arrived though and the cheque is in the bank waiting to clear. I'll be glad when I can get a mini statement to see that it's safely cashed.
On the bright side I bought some new rubber stamps. Both from Penny Black who make my favourite stamps. They always give a good impression and I love the designs. So easy to sell as far as card making goes.
I haven't actually made any cards but I've made some ATCs for my colleagues at work and they're delighted with them. I have quite a bit of housework to do today but I'm hoping to get it all done so that tomorrow can be spent cardmaking.
I also want to get some photo's of the kittens today but so far they haven't appeared. Nelson was able to eat his breakfast in peace and the rabbits have scoffed theirs and are out sunbathing in the garden. No sign of either kitten though so I'm going to have to go looking for them.
Hard to believe it's possible to sunbathe in the garden considering it's September. The leaves are turning and the smell of autumn is in the air. At work, we agreed that it's usually one of our favourite times of year, but since we've not seen summer, this year we feel cheated.
I'm still hoping to get away for a week but I don't know where. I don't have a car at the moment and the price of hiring one is huge so I'm not sure that I'll pursuade the other half that it's worth the cost. He's suggested we go for a city break somewhere but I'm not convinced. We live in a city and I'd like to get away from it. I long for the peace and quiet of the countryside and I want to see the sea. I do have an offer of a long weekend with a friend on a trip to Boscastle so I'm hoping that will go ahead. I'll be able to visit family at the same time which would be good.
Hey ho! Back to the grindstone.
