🐾🤣 SHE’S ALIVE!!! AND BACK IN BUSINESS!! 🤣🐾

MORNING EVERYONE!! 👋❤️

Well, after spending the last week feeling like I’d been hit by a bus, reversed over and then run over again 🤢🤣, I’m delighted to announce that I’VE SURVIVED!! 🎉🥳

There were moments when I genuinely thought I might need to start writing my will, but here I am, back from the dead and ready to rock and roll!! 💃🐶✂️

I’M BACK, I’M FEELING HUMAN AGAIN AND I’M READY FOR THE DOGGIES!! ❤️🐾

Next week is going to be absolutely BONKERS after having to close the salon last week, but I’ve somehow managed to find a couple of little gaps in the chaos!

🐾 Tuesday 13th October – 1:30pm

🐾 Wednesday 14th October – 9:30am

📩 Message me if you’d like to grab one before they’re gone!

A massive THANK YOU to all my lovely customers for being so patient and understanding while I’ve been poorly. You’re all absolute stars! ❤️

Never thought I’d be so excited to get back to being covered in dog hair, slobber and smelling like a wet dog! 🤣🐕

GOODBYE NOROVIRUS… HELLO CHAOS!! 🐾✂️💕

P.S. If you hear me moaning about how busy I am next week, just remind me how desperate I was to get back to work! 🤣🤣

❤️ A Little Update & A HUGE Apology From Me ❤️

Well, I really thought I was finally getting somewhere yesterday! After managing a very boring meal last night and a banana early this morning, it seems my body still has other ideas and is determined to reject absolutely everything I put into it! 🤢💩

I’m absolutely gutted to say that I’ve had to make the decision to write this week off completely and concentrate on getting myself better, hopefully ready for a fresh start next week. 😢

I honestly cannot apologise enough to everyone whose appointments I’ve had to cancel or rearrange this week. I feel absolutely terrible about it, and the guilt of letting people down is genuinely upsetting me.

Please, please believe me when I say that if I was physically capable of being in my salon grooming your lovely dogs, I would be there in a heartbeat! ❤️🐾

I absolutely love my job, I love my little business, and believe me, being self-employed means I certainly can’t afford to be sat at home poorly either! No work means no wages, but unfortunately, no matter how much I want to be there, my body just isn’t allowing it at the moment.

I know it might seem like I’ve had more than my fair share of illness lately, and I completely understand how frustrating it must be for those of you who’ve had appointments changed, sometimes more than once. Please know that this is not how I normally run my business, and I would never cancel an appointment unless I genuinely had no other choice.

The last thing I ever want is for anyone to think I’m unreliable or that your appointments aren’t important to me, because nothing could be further from the truth.

I’m also conscious that this horrible bug is extremely contagious, and the last thing I want is to pass it on to any of you.

To everyone who has been so patient, understanding and sent lovely messages checking on me, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It really does mean more than you know. ❤️

I’ll be contacting everyone affected to arrange new appointments for next week. If you’d rather make alternative arrangements, I completely understand, and there will be absolutely no hard feelings.

Once again, I am so, so sorry. 😢 I promise nobody wants me back in that salon more than I do!

Hopefully, normal service (and a stomach that actually accepts food!) will resume very soon! 🤞😂

Lots of love, and thank you for bearing with me. ❤️🐶🐾 ###

You asked for food. We’ve listened. 🧀🍷

We’ve had plenty of requests for something to eat at Halpenny, so we’re answering with something a little different.

From Sunday 11th October, our cheese trolley will be making its way around the tables every Sunday, with a selection of fine cheeses chosen and served tableside.

Available every Sunday from 4:30–8:30pm, accompanied by our newly extended w**e list and the soft sounds of live acoustic music.

A little cheese, a good glass of w**e, and a Sunday evening done properly.

The Cheese Trolley at Halpenny. Every Sunday from the 11th.

🚨 LITTLE UPDATE FROM THE LAND OF THE LIVING! 🚨😂

Firstly, a massive THANK YOU for all your lovely messages checking in on me ❤️ Honestly, you’re a good bunch!

After spending what feels like 90% of my life in the bathroom over the last few days, not knowing whether I needed to 🤮, 💩 or attempt both at the same time 😭🤣… I think I’m FINALLY winning!

Today has been a HUGE achievement…

🍌 Banana sandwich — STAYED IN! ✅
🥔 Small jacket potato — ALSO STAYED IN! ✅
🤮💩 Bathroom visits — dramatically reduced! 😂🙌

Honestly, I never thought I’d be this excited about keeping a jacket potato inside my body 🤣🤣

So, unless my body decides to throw another tantrum overnight, I’ll be back in the salon tomorrow ✂️🐶 — slightly thinner, mildly traumatised, but very happy to be back! 😂

Thank you again for all your patience, lovely messages and understanding ❤️

Normal service (well… as normal as I ever am 🤪) resumes tomorrow! 🐾✂️

🐾 A little update for everyone booked in this week 🐾

Unfortunately, there is a chance I may need to reschedule some appointments as I’m currently VERY poorly with the norovirus bug that seems to be doing the rounds. 🤢

I’ve been ill since Sunday morning and every night I’ve gone to bed praying I’ll wake up feeling better the next day…

Apparently my prayers are being ignored. 😂

I’m still not managing to keep any food down, so as you can imagine, I’m feeling pretty rubbish and completely wiped out.

I know some of you probably think, “Bloody hell, she’s always poorly!” 😂 And to be fair… YES, I AM! 🙈

Unfortunately, my immune system has been extremely low since an illness a few years ago. It genuinely only takes one person to come near me with a cold, bug or sniffle and my body basically says, “Yep, I’ll have that!” 🤦‍♀️😂

I honestly can’t apologise enough if I do have to reschedule your appointment. Believe me, cancelling work is the LAST thing I want to do. Not only do I want to be back doing the job I love and seeing all my furry customers, I also quite like being able to pay my bills! 😂

I’ll keep everyone who is booked in updated each day and hopefully I’ll turn a corner very soon. 🤞❤️

Equally, if your appointment is going ahead but you’d rather not risk coming into the salon while I’ve been poorly, I completely understand and I’m more than happy to reschedule you.

The doctor said it’s absolutely rife at the moment and spreads incredibly easily, so please look after yourselves.

Thank you for being patient with me — and fingers crossed I stop being best friends with the bathroom very soon! 🤢😂🐾
