New ideas in the pipeline

This morning I made a quick trip across to Friday's quiz venue to have a chat with the manager. If you read my last post, you'll know that they have just taken over and are now working hard to honour the booking for me. A couple of minor changes have been made to the evening, but I'm confident that they're going to do a brilliant job for me.
I divided up the gift donations this afternoon, so I have a super first prize for Friday's winning team, a 'losers' commiseration prize and four raffle prizes. Note to self: must buy a book of raffle tickets ready before Friday.
We braved the rain and gales this evening and headed to the local swimming pool. It was a relief to find that the water was quite warm, but with tea cooking in the oven there was only time for a quick half-mile swim.
While I sat waiting for the children to get changed I noticed a poster advertising the pool for hire, and had a bit of a lightbulb moment. I wandered across to reception, had a chat to the very friendly receptionist, and left my contact details with her. She is going to mention me to the manager to see if there is any possibility for me to hire the pool for a reduced rate, and run some kind of fundraising event. As ever, you'll be the first to know when I hear anything.
In an attempt to keep hubby in the loop with what I'm up to, I've now started emailing my blog entries to him. Today he expressed concern that recent posts could be lacking in humour, and has offered me some of his jokes. You have been warned...
