My baby has only gone and 'got all grown up'.....

My boy is 18 now and can legally go and buy his own pint! Where did that time go?

It only seems like yesterday when the midwife said "you are having a contraction" to which I replied "am I"? - the midwife told me that she doesn't have to actually inform many mothers about this so called painful event, but I honestly didn't feel a thing! (No, I didn't have an epidural (spelling?), only gas and air!

Anyway, this young man of mine is now waiting to hear from different Universities. He has to go to Manchester for an interview and the following Tuesday UCL. Still waiting to hear from York and Exeter - Nottingham don't want to i/v, just get 2 a's and 1 b and he has a place.

What an expense just going for interviews!!!! We sat down trying to work out the cheapest way to get from Cornwall to Manchester and it has ended up hubby and son will fly from Newquay - it's cheaper than taking a train and having to have two nights B/B. London is much cheaper to get to, so "Mummy" is keeping her fingers crossed that he gets a place at UCL!!!! Only draw back is, it will cost him more to stay in London if he is accepted.

Next question - what does a young man wear to an interview at Uni? We have been out and bought him a new suit and shirts with ties. (We did have a funeral to attend, so money not totally wasted), but a friend of mine has informed me that students don't dress up for interviews. Surely that can't be right? A Uni like UCL, who appear to only take the cream of the cream surely would prefer students to look smart at an interview - or am I just being really "old school" here and showing my age?

Well, I am going to go now - Big Brother starts in approx. 40 seconds!!!!!!!

Take care,

until my next blog......

Sale Time!!!!! Get some bargains in quick.

Hi everyone,

Where have I been hiding for so long?

Well, fortunately I have been busy!

Earlier this year, the company that designed, hosted and marketed our website
http://www.trewhellowsgiftshop.co.uk/ went out of business. We had to frantically find a new host
before losing our website - which we did with only days to spare! Phew.
We then set about having a brand new website designed and hosted by a new company (TidyV4) which went live in the middle of September. It's the best thing that ever happend to us as the new site is far busier than the old one and in my opinion looks far more professional.

There are plenty of goodies in the sale at Trewhellows Gift Shop - so take a look before it ends.

We have also set up a 14 day sale with our e-bay store, so why not grab yourself a bargain there too!

I have also been busy with our holiday cottage . People are now starting to book their summer holiday in Cornwall. I am confident that this summer will not be a wash out like 2007 and following this very cold winter we have had, it's bound to mean a glorious sunny, hot summer in Cornwall. (Don't hold me to that though!) I mean, -6 degrees is unheard of in Cornwall!!!
I need a nice warm sunny summer to re-charge my batteries!

Well, I had better get back to work - listing to the Bee Gees in the background - GREAT!
Someone has just sent a question about One Night Only asking if Andy Gibb is projected on the screen in one of the songs - what a brilliant excuse to have to listen to my own DVD!!!

Take care folks,

Kathryn
