Miss You, Good Luck & Mini Candy

Hello peeps,

I've been meaning to post these cards for a couple of days but I've had a very stressed out & tearful baby girl needing lots of support & reassurance.

After 6 months of waiting Jodie had to go to Magistrates Court this morning to give evidence for the Prosecution along with two other girls, & after much waiting around, meeting with the Barrister, Usher, Witness Support lady explaining they can give evidence from behind a screen so the defendant can't see them etc, the case never even got into court as the case before it was going to take up most of the day so they had to adjourn the trial. Due to good old Government cutbacks closing 2 other Magistrates Courts in Somerset there is such a delay in trials the next available date to return to Court is in September, which will mean over a year after the incident took place they will eventually give evidence! As you can imagine there were more tears & 3 unhappy girlie's & parents knowing they are going to have to go through it all again in 6 months time, at least next time they have guaranteed the trial will be a priority case so unless the thug changes his plea to guilty & the girls not need to give evidence, the trial will definitely go ahead.

We decided to go and have a slap up brunch as nobody felt like eating before we left home this morning, on the way to brunch I somehow "accidentally" wandered into Hotel Chocolate lol. OMG I do love that shop, I did ask the assistant if she could not make it so obvious that she recognises me from having previously accidentally wandered in there once or twice before lol. Naturally I came out several pounds poorer but with a nice stash of mainly Caramel chocolate in my bag & a few free samples in my tummy too, but I did have a big smile on my face which made Jodie & hubby laugh so that was all that matters lol.

Today I have a couple of cards to share that I made for Jodie to give to friends, the first was to give to Angela her lovely boss at work who applied for a transfer to a store closer to her home to cut out the time & cost of travelling so far to work, Jodie is really going to miss her.

The photo session was cut short as Daisy Mae kept moving & sitting directly in front of the card no matter how many times I put her on the floor, she's so vain lol. 

Before I go peeps I have a little mini candy to share, I bought another couple of Magnolia Mini World stamps & the shop sent me 2 the same instead of the 2 different one's I ordered so rather than mess about sending one back I thought I'd offer her as a mini candy.

 

If you'd like to give Mini Tilda with Daffodil a home just let me know in a comment peeps, there's no need to post it on your blog, I'll get Jodie to pick a winner in a couple of days time.

Thanks for stopping by
