November 15 Christmas at Barton Grange Garden CentresBeen to Barton grange today, fantastic display of Christmas decorations, not far from the venue for Barton doll teddy and miniatures fair so you can get to both on 5th dec if you want! November 13 Chorley Historical and Archaeological SocietyFOR LOCAL HISTORY FANS IN LANCASHIRE, JUST FOUND THIS, GOT TO EXPLORE IT YET. November 09 REEBOKDIDN'T HAVE A GOOD DAY AT REEBOK, ONLY SOLD ONE THING £2, SO LOST MONEY, CAN'T DO THE CHRISTMAS ONE AS I'M AT WORK, ITS ON THE 30TH, THE WEDNESDAY AFTER CHRISTMAS, THE DATE HAS BEEN CHANGED. I'LL DO THE FEB ONE BUT IF I DON'T DO BETTER I'LL HAVE TO GIVE UP, I COULD JUST GO AND SPEND THE STALL MONEY INSTEAD, I'D HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW FOR IT! THERE WERE LOTS OF THINGS I'D LIKE TO HAVE BOUGHT BUT COULDN'T AFFORD. ONLY GOT AN OLD ENGLISH BOXED TEASET, A PATCH AND A DOLLS DRESS. THERE WAS SOME NICE FLORAL GARDEN STUFF THAT I WOULD HAVE LIKED AND THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS FROM THE 1920'S AND LOTS OF DOLLS                              Grassington Dickensian Festivalgoing to try and get to the fair this year! REEBOK TOY AND TRAIN FAIRIT'S REEBOK TOY AND TRAIN FAIR ON SUNDAY, IT HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE REEBOK ARENA, SAME CAR PARK AND OVER THE FOOTBRIDGE TO THE ARENA. I HAVE PLAYED BADMINTON AT THE VENUE AND IT WILL BE NICE TO SEE IT AGAIN.
THIS TIME TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS ON MY WAY TO HOPSITAL! CAME OUT LAST FRIDAY SO I HAD TO MISS THE SOUTHPORT TOY FAIR AT THE FLORAL HALL, WILL HAVE TO WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR TO DO THAT ONE. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE A GOOD VENUE BUT TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THE ORGANISERS TO DO TOO OFTEN.
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SUNDAY BUT HOPE I SELL MORE THAN LAST TIME, DIDN'T SELL ANYTHING SO LOST MONEY. MAYBE I'L FIND SOMETHING NICE TO BUY AS WELL.
