Nope, I'm not looking for hairs on the palms of my hands (VERY old joke), I'm trying to describe the sudden flurry of bookings that landed on my desk today.
Now, I know that this is because we all enjoy a bargain AND pennies are kind of tight given the state of the economy etc. etc. lots of lovely people are taking advantage of the early booking discount this year... it's really great.
What is also suggests to me is something I already know - we Baptist Christians do seem to leave things to the last minute... well, I suppose I can really only speak for myself... I wonder how many envelopes my postie will bring tomorrow?
Thing is, this event organising, I just can't leave everything 'til later. If I did, I'd be buried under a mountain of forms, receipts, cheques, used envelopes, stamps for recycling with BMS World Mission, new envelopes, address labels and invoices. Oh, yes, and volunteer forms.
One of the lovely things about handling the bookings is that, by the time you all arrive on site, I'll feel as if I know you all personally - that said, please don't be too harsh if I don't remember your name, address and telephone number off by heart!
