A strange phenomenon has occurred in the Adventure household over the last five days. Not only has there been a significant drop in the number of total decibels permeating from our abode, there has been the playing of draughts, the increased reading of books, the throwing of frisbees around the garden and the building of minature skateboard ramps out of shoe boxes. Three little words - broken sky box! The strange thing is, the boys do not seem to be missing it and they havn't asked when it will be fixed. All I can say is thank goodness for my laptop as I have spent the evenings watching 4oD and catching up with my favourite blogs.
My poor head has been bursting over the last week or so from organising my 1st event as chairperson of our newly formed "school friends association". I have a dedicated team of helpers, nevertheless, all the texting, phoning and begging for donations does somewhat impinge on my work time and reduce my available "blogging time". I felt as though I was reading my own blog this morning when I read my friend Frog's latest post, for she is also considering the post of chairperson.
"Do you think it's a case of 'If you want something done, give it to a busy person'?", I commented. I really believe that saying is true as it is seems only us, busy slightly mad people get things done despite the huge negativity before us! We had 150 tickets printed for our "Cheese & Wine" evening next Tuesday. Letters were sent home with 140 children and the school has so far sold the grand total of 6 tickets. I have this morning, relieved the school of half the pile and started dishing them out to the lollipop lady, friends and family. "All the more for us, ha, ha!" texted the secretary when I broke the news, "If you don't laugh you'll cry" was my reply. So we'll have some rather sloshed "friends" next Tuesday evening, we'll win a raffle prize each and we'll feed our families cheese and biscuits for the remainder of the week! Unless we can sell more tickets.
Cheese and wine anyone?

Oh Lordy!!
That is bad news.
Perhaps lots will turn up on the night?? Maybe?
Mind you, turn it around and get the place full and you'll be hailed a hero for the rest of the year no matter what you do!!
I'm not one to give up easily. Just dropped 10 tickets into the local pharmacy and put on my salesman head at the post office. Any other suggestions?
And it'll be such a blast that next year everyone will want to come. There's something to be said for quality, rather than quantity.
