Accounts time - eugh

I've just costed out the bower. I know you're supposed to do that before hand, but it's more fun this way - and less stressful if you don't worry about sticking to a budget! Materials came to a total of £168.14, which is at least £40 less than I expected. This probably means one of 2 things: my maths is crap (which we know) or I've lost a bunch of receipts (which we know I would never do!). There's also the possibility that I got both the maths and the receipts right, which means I'm £40 up. Which means I've got £40 to spend doesn't it??? Hmmmm, not sure I can convince even myself of that one!

Of course there's also the cost to finish the other piece in the exhibition, which came to a grand total of £13 or so (I haven't worked out the total cost of that one yet, because the work's still evolving), and the exhibition cost itself (just over £83 for each of us), plus the PL insurance I bought (another £85 - though it lasts a year), plus god knows how much petrol and depreciation on the already deprecated car, and light and heat (yes it's still freezing here!), bla, bla, bla. Basically, what I'm saying is organising an exhibition is a financial commitment even on this tiny scale.

But I don't care. It's given me the chance to make something I've had on my mind for a while and realising something that you have in your head is just the best feeling there is - when it works!!!!
