That sounds like a plan Anne!! xx
DeleteWell done Avril, very exciting. xx
ReplyDeleteDidn't she do well" do you remember dad used to quote from the rise and fall of Reginald Perrin " I didn't get to where I am today " etc... Well you didn't get to where u are today without lots of work and commitment to shopping walking in high heels since the age of one and a fashionable mum... An eye for a bargain and a great smile. So keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteLol Regina...yes, the highheels at age 1 were a clue to where I was headed. Just took me a bit longer to get there than most! I know it's all a bit American and cheesy to blow your own trumpet but I'm just so excited about it!! x
DeleteCongrats Avril, champagne is well deserved, you've achieved so much in such a short while! I think the key to your success is that you are one of us and we can relate to you. Sláinte, here's to your continued success!

Yay! This is wonderful. :) In such a short time, too. I don't believe I had 220 followers until my second/near third year of posting. That's awesome!
