Just waiting for my order of silver to arrive, so I can go out. Can't believe the price of silver at the moment. Nearly double what I was paying a bit back. Tried a cheaper supplier and ended up getting ripped off, I'm still positive to this day it was all silverplate. Looking forward to getting piccies taken though. Need them asap so I can do leaflets and a website. Managed to get a few contacts for website design. Going to do a FB page first. Already have some orders in, another girl getting married wants some red pendants making for the bridesmaids. There's five so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. 'Tis taking off nicely. Finding it hard to keep my stocks up. It seems I am constantly making moulds, which is a point, I need more SRS. Loving it more than ever though. I can see the improvement in each new batch I make. They are getting slicker and slicker. Plus my firings are more consistent. Not as many failures. Nick is getting more supportive too, now he has seen how it is taking off... :) He can see pound signs, and is already planning an early retirement!! Me on the other hand NEVER want to retire. I want to make glass until I die. Even got to thinking about furthering my education by going for my masters. Just for my benefit. As proof I can do it. Also thought about running courses in kiln-formed glass. That's another option for the future. I want everyone to see why glass casting and fusing is so exciting. I want to share that.

I was watching a programme last night... Don't Tell The Bride.. this was a cornish episode. It just reinforced my love of the place. The guy was a surfer, and what a lifestyle he had. Nick suddenly seemed quite keen to go, and we talked of nothing else all night. Nick's always been into windsurfing, and I have to say, he looks pretty damn hot in his wetsuit!! ;) He really wants to learn proper surfing, and to be honest, I would too. I'd have to learn to swim first though!! It's getting more torturous not being there, and to be honest, I am growing less and less fond of it round here. I don't mean The Lakes, it will always be beautiful here, but it is becoming more and more touristy and I resent that. I just hate Barrow, local towns, the people there... it will be nice to go where no one knows me and where the folk are more civilized. Nick is getting as excited as I am about our next chapter. He feels it's time for a change too.

I'm really happy at the moment. Everything is working out, I'm even sleeping better at night. Getting nearly a full 5 hours. Me and Nick are besotted again. Annoying Sian by being soppy when her friends are round. Haha! :D I've actually really missed the affection. I'm such a tactile person and hate not being hugged all the time. Sad eh? :( It's nice having someone to curl up infront of the fire with and fall asleep on again. Watch silly films with. Play-fight with. It's weird. It kinda feels as though we have started from scratch again. Even though we have Sian and Corey, but we just talk so much more. I feel butterflies again. Even something little like a kiss on the back of my head as I'm washing up. We find we WANT to spend time together whereas from about a year ago, we avoided each other a lot. Not all the time, but too much. It's still early days, things were still crap up until a couple of weeks ago, well sooner than that I guess, but although I still have my odd dark days, the sunshine is coming back in my life again. And I can honestly say hand on heart that I am truly happy and contented. For the first time in a long time. :)

AAARRGGH!! Still no post!! Wish it would hurry up. :(
