Well after yesterdays post you all certainly took me seriously and I booked 4 photoshoots in the space of an hour yesterday, Yes indeed I am looking forward to every single one of those! Today though we've had joiners here making more mess and disrupting us even more, please hope tommorrow is the last major day of disruption, It's kitchen upheaval day tommorrow, after that we should be able to start thinking about decorating, I've already got a couple of tester pots and a bag full of paint charts!!

We've had a major disaster today, this morning as Paul attempted to take the children to school he discovered that the car wouldn't drive forwards and well it's not exactly practical to drive everywhere in reverse so we called good old Green Flag who sent a lovely man who in a calm manner told us that it was our cylinder head gasket, ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, we drive this teeny Hyundai Atoz + it's an S reg and pretty much gets us everywhere, we're a bit devastated to know that it would cost more to fix the car than it's actually worth so we're tommorrow paying the princely sum of £250 for an L reg Golf which will hopefully get us through to the new year. I can kind of manage without a car as I have an assistant who does all the driving to weddings but as I can't have consultations in my kitchen at the moment we really don't have any option plus Paul definetly needs a car for his business! Oh well, lets be positive but can I just ask any potential clients to be put off by our sad old car, I promise it's no reflection on my photography, strange thing is that I now own lenses that are worth more than the car!!

Tommorrow should be a better day!

The Thursday Escape

So today was VVVVVVV stressful, Paul and I decided to run away, admittedly only to the quayside so not exactly very far but it was nice to be away from the chaos of home. It was a lovely sunny day on the quayside other than the strong NorthWesterly wind. Paul and I went to the Baltic Centre for Contemporary art but most of the exhibits I found quite disturbing, I guess that was the point but I could have done with cheering up!! I took a couple of portraits of quite willing Paul but I think you'll agree that you can see the stress on his face.

I took a couple more photos today on the quayside so feel free to click through to Flickr to browse the rest of the set.

Tommorrow is the total rewire so I'll be without internet or phone for an entire day, Clients if you need to contact me, Mobiles are charged and waiting to take your call!!

Complete Upheaval

The program of works has begun and at the moment I'm sitting on the only free chair in the house, everything is covered in dust sheets, my kitchen units are in the middle of my kitchen, the bummer of it all is that I didn't ask for this to be done, I just want them to leave us alone. No one could live in this situation never mind run a business!!
