So... I am at a school where the children have made potato versions of my characters. Presenting Potato Max and three Potato Perijees (Potatojees?) I literally cannot believe this is my job.

We only took £12.34 today😔...if anyone was thinking about buying a book now would be a great time! Things have been tough recently - today the worst day ever. A card,a book,anything makes a huge difference to a small business like ours. We'd be very grateful for your support.

Have just finished this beauty! Huge giggles and an even bigger heart. There may have been tears... When a book punches you in the gut and then pulls you back and makes you smile, it's a special one. I'm off to find a 'I 💜 Mr. Prickles' tshirt online. @JenniferKillick
