Well the EYE show was a great success. My sales on the day were 500% up from last year and I am thrilled. But the best part was having customers come up to me saying things like they ordered last year and the quality of the aprons is so good that they are back for more! One lady even started talking to other customers at the stand telling them to buy the Long Sleeve Painting Aprons that they were so great and she had bought them last year!
I met some old friends there.. www.Montessori.ie , hometrain.ie and Eolas Education and the boys from Galgorm.. all great people.. all great stuff for sale!
My feet were KILLING me after 2 full days standing though! I felt like I was pregnant again. Actually that is the first EYE show that I was neither preg or carrying a small baby.. I had DD2 in the baby sling at the stall this time last year! It was quite a relief to just focus on SELLING for once.

And most importantly DH did a great job of looking after the girls byhimself for 2 days! I give him full credit! They had a blast with him, ate lots of junk, watched lots of TV, but also did some great things like.. did a food shop, did arts and crafts with them, fed them healthy dinners and even TIDIED THE HOUSE! I think we should keep this swap up! And although i have a sneaky suspicion that dd2 didnt get her nappy changed the whole day, I will look beyond it and give him lots of praise as I think he did a great job (better than myself in fact!).
