Today has been a really good day, but also a long and tiring one, so I must admit I am feeling like Prince is at the moment as I type this. Work has been really busy, which of course is great and the next few days it will continue in the same vein. I have

I have been ordering numerous bears and hoodies over the last few weeks, and last Friday after the amazing response once again, I ordered more.

Today was a day that will long live in my memory. I met Monique @thelifeofmique at Colchester Hospital. Monique’s mum had made contact last week and between us we arranged today’s visit, which Monique was completely unaware about.

The best thing about today was not the appearance of the Life of Mique teddy bear with Monique, nor was it the influx of new teddy bear orders tonight following Monique’s post, but it was seeing Monique making it outside after such a awful week.
