Pinch Punch First of the Month. Another new month and 9 months of doing this diary entry every single day since the 1st December. I am surprised i am still managing to do it. I have enjoyed it to be fair although my brother describe like something “off a saga cruise” i think he was

That’s it! It is official, we are going back abroad on Sunday. I said last week i would do this as the warehouse guy is off and to help settle things down from the show. The shows actually take up so much brain power to set up but there is also a whole load of
