MEET THE REAL ASSISTANT BEHIND BE….

Always wondered how I manage to get everything done? Well… I'm not afraid to show you any more 👇

Meet “Maple” 🦊 my little assistant. She does all the running for me, because at my age I can't run even if I wanted to, and frankly, parts of my body have dropped already. They can drop. They're no help to me anyway.🤦🏽‍♀️🫵🏼you know what I mean ladies (and gents!!)

So say hi to Maple. This little red fox looks after me, the shop, the house, my organising (chaotic as it is), my to-ing and fro-ing, your orders, my orders, my social media, my not-so-social life, my timetable, the kids' timetable, the workshop timetable, my general work timetable, the cats' timetable, and every other timetable in my life, and most importantly, my sanity. Or what's left of it 🤭🤭

Isn't she just the cutest thing?

And if you're wondering what this little craze is… wonder no more. Look in the comments 👇and make your own and when you have… Post a picture of yours in the comments below 👇
