6am and it is dark outside, course it is you say it is October, but dont you feel there is something cold and go-back-to-beddish about getting up when it is dark? Mind you this is coming from the person that got up when it was dark in June and july :))

I have very little money these days, in fact my pool of finances is so shallow that even the fish have gone :)) So when we get things like Birthdays we have to find ways of inventiveness that we have not done before, for an example, it was the birthday of someone close yesterday, I dont have the resources for fine gifts, so instead I used the resource that was godgiven and invented a present. This person loves Fairies and thanks to a little bit of inventiveness from me and a quick suggestion from a friend she ended up with four beautiful pictures of fairies, framed, and all it cost me was £1.00 and some time :)

In fact I liked this inventiveness so much that it may just come in useful for the myriad of birthdays coming up and for that Day that happens in December (that I'm not allowed to mention) Use the talents you have and the expensive gifts in the shop can be shunned, after all is not the uniqueness of the gift and the fact that someone spent time and effort on it much more appealing than some fancy gift wrapping? If you know people well enough you know what they like and dislike, so presents should be fairly simple to invent at minimum cost and just a little effort and time on your part, and there is something very satisfying about doing it yourself, looking at the end product and thinking 'my goodness I could sell that in the market' :)) Seriously though, ah never mind who wants to be serious?

Another day nearer the weekend, hopefully that will actually mean something after tomorrow and not just be another two days of doing the same old same old.

My friend has a fancy dress shop, it makes for many hours of laughter, both with customers as well as at some of them, I guess it is the time of year when people just like to do something different, the amount of teeneagers that are having parties where there are 'themes' is amazing, we have one this weekend that is apparently 'heroes and villians' and they have all been to the shop, we have had to come up with some inventiveness there, as it happens my friend is very good at putting things together and making a brilliant costume out of random pieces, and there have been few disappointed customers.

Right it is coffee time, so Good morning Blogland and I hope you all have a good day :)
