I feel just like you do which is why I am a bit scared at this point but the worst that can happen ( apart from a plane crash!:/) is that nothing changes... and at least I'll have given it a shot and I will make sure I have a very good time over there! xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066550401546930839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796149523475007965.post-12430464378485801702014-10-02T08:40:03.805+01:002014-10-02T08:40:03.805+01:00Thanks Theresa :) Funnily enough I had six orders ...Thanks Theresa :) Funnily enough I had six orders in the evening after I'd posted this... I do think you are right about the calm before the storm - which is why I am anxious as if I haven't managed to do much design work now then it's going to be impossible in Nov/Dec. I've been busy doing accounting and will be working on that today too, but once it's done I'll start Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066550401546930839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796149523475007965.post-6803395423662899982014-10-02T07:08:51.036+01:002014-10-02T07:08:51.036+01:00I know it's easy for me to say, but I'd en...I know it's easy for me to say, but I'd enjoy the calm before the storm if I were you. Unlike myself, who has to Christmas shop months too early, most people don't get to it until closer to the day.

Just keep going.
