What a difference a day makes...


...24 little hours....have I got you singing?

Some of you know I've not been well - yesterday, I should have had the results from a glandular fever test, but guess what? They're inconclusive, and I have to have it repeated in three weeks. Ah well!

This means I've not made as many beads as I would have liked, but I have spent more time online. This in turn meant that, yesterday, I re-acquainted myself with my FaceBook business page, http://www.facebook.com/littlecastledesigns - and its 85 fans (except FaceBook now call them 'Likes'). I set myself the target of getting to 100 before the end of the day, and thanks to you all, I - we - did it :o)))) It even continued growing overnight, and is now at 107!! Thank you all, I'm all chuffed! I will soon get to work and connect a shop to the page. In the mean time, I'm planning a fan-giveaway, which I'll list over the week-end, so if you're not a Fan / Like yet, do join! (but then, I would say that!) - the Like box is just to the bottom right of this post ;o)

The other thing that made me happy yesterday was a meteoric rise up Lampwork Go Top 100 - on my homepage www.littlecastledesigns.co.uk is a link to that page, and you can enter a vote, before you get taken to the Top 100 website. Now, in all honesty, it means little in the world overall, it won't feed starving children, it won't improve world peace...but it does mean that you guys took the time to click and vote for me, and that, of course, means the world!

Thanks to my sister for the screenshot of my site a no. 2......I now want to see if I can get to no. 1, of course, even if just to take another screenshot and treasure it :o)

So, thanks to social networking and you all, after one little day, I feel thoroughly smug about my online presence. I know there are others who have lots more Fans, etc., but I'm getting there. Thank you for helping along!

  4. I didn't know you were not feeling well Sabine! I hope you recover soon and that you are not stressing yourself out too much. Take it easy and good luck with the top 100!

  5. Thanks Mary - I think/hope the correct diagnosis is 'exhaustion' - April was a hard month :o) I'm sure all will be well :o)

  6. Congrats! I've just been and voted and can see you've achieved your goal and made it to no.1 :D

    I hope you feel better soon, I know glandular fever tests can be rubbish! I got told by the doctor they can only pick it up for a few days, and then even if it's still in your system they often come back inconclusive. Finger's crossed for you though that it's just due to having a bad month x

  7. Glandular fever tests can only say if you have it, not if you *dont* have it. If that makes sense? Look after yourself sweetie, I'm still paying the price for not looking after myself when I had glandular fever 15 years ago, and I wouldnt wish it on anyone xxxxx

  8. Thanks Claire - I'm now officially off sick for the rest of the week to recuperate, as I still feel soo shattered. Fingers crossed it's nothing a few days of rest can't cure :o)
