That sinking feeling...

I don't seem to have stopped today, but I'm not sure how much I've actually achieved. It was just one of those days.
So, what can I tell you...?
First...a big thank you to Brewers Fayre Great Park who have donated a £25 voucher from their restaurant. Again, such kindness from people who have never met me before.
Second...and not such good news...I've had a couple of quiz teams drop out from Friday's event, so I'm busy contacting all my friends to see if anyone else can come. (On the plus side for the teams attending, they've got more chance of coming away with some great prizes!)
Third...and this is the heart-stopping bit...I phoned the pub where I'm holding the quiz -

[Ring, Ring] Hello
Hello, I'm phoning to confirm numbers for the quiz on Friday night
When did you book this?
Oh, quite a few weeks ago
Ah - we've only just taken over what date did you want to come?
Friday. THIS Friday.
Ah
Is it ok? I've got lots of people coming...
Um...
PLEEEESE?
I'm sure we can honour that booking; what meals would you like to order?
[Huge sigh of relief] Can we have.....

That was two hours ago, and I think my pulse is just about returning to normal! I'm going to go and meet the new owners on Wednesday to talk everything through, but they sound lovely, and I'm sure they'll prove to be superb hosts.
