Just a wee honest update from me ❤️
I’m not going to lie, I’ve really struggled with admin recently. My headspace hasn’t been the best and messages have felt like a much bigger mountain than they normally do.
The last few weeks have been a lot. We’ve lost four of our wee rats in such a short space of time, and today we said goodbye to Doris 🥲💔
Doris was one of my first two rats and, although apparently you’re not meant to have favourites… she was absolutely mine 😂❤️ She was my wee pal, and I’m honestly heartbroken.
I know to some people they’re “just rats”, but they were our pets, part of our family and very, very loved. Losing so many of them so close together has knocked me more than I expected.
Add that onto the back end of an absolutely ridiculous few months of cakes, workshops, kids, life and everything else, and my brain has basically gone ✨ absolutely not ✨
Cakes are still going out as normal and everything booked in is absolutely fine ❤️ It’s just the admin side of things where I’ve fallen behind.
So if you’re waiting on a reply from me, I’m really sorry. I’m going to work my way through everything, but I’m giving myself a wee bit of grace while I get my head back above water.
And if I’ve somehow missed you completely, please send me another message — you are fully permitted to give me a pissed-off wee nudge so you ping back to the top 🥰
Thank you, as always, for being patient with the slightly chaotic human behind Betsy’s Cakes ❤️
And for Doris… my first and my favourite. You were the best wee rat 🐀💔
