First up we have the Communal Count.
Q a(1) To be honest I have no idea how many visitors we had during August, but I put this down to the fact I only started recording my Month in Numbers on the 29th. But looking back one of Zoe's friends seemed to be here every time I turned around, my Mum came over for dinner a few times too and some neighbours dropped by but I don't think anyone actually stayed the night.
Q a(2) Four - me, him, and two of them (both of whom are taller than me) plus a spoilt dog and supercilious cat.
Q b(1&2) I normally get up at 6.38am, weird but true, and since I can't recall any mornings of note that was probably the earliest I got up.
Now down to the nitty gritty. Here's how August looked. It was a month of low numbers. But included:
One important Birthday (and six others)!
One very cool camera
One giant lemon (it weighed in at 800 grams)
Two books - which I've read and two CDs which I'm enjoying very much!
I completed all 6 challenges over at Scrapbooking Top 50 - my favourite is below - I also did another 2 LOs bringing my month's total to a healthy 8.
I was sick for 16 days - a record I hope never to repeat - which meant I missed 2 out of 4 Sunday running group sessions with Team Bliss.
I attended 44 work meetings...
I also increased my washi tape stash to new grand total of 103 rolls. I now need to buy a new bag to keep them in. Here's the latest addition:
And that pretty much sums up August, an atypical month!

Great set of numbers Ali x
Hope you are feeling better now.
love the lo & well done on making 8, here it's been school holidays & I never get to make much then x
Ooh so much here to comment on but first ... welcome aboard Ali! Welcome welcome. I'm so glad you found Month in Numbers!
If there's anything better than having someone drop by my blog telling me they hope I like their giant lemon ... I don't know what it is. And yes - what an amazing citrus specimen it is!! Just *perfect* for a M in N post! Where else are you going to tell the world about that kind of thing?!!
Also - love the look of those instant cameras ... very tempting! And wow ... that's a lot of washi ... makes me feel better about my expending collection of almost 40. I keep all mine on the big metal rings that some carpet samples are slotted on to. [My other half gets them for me] I think the manufacturers could branch out into craft storage ... maybe I need to find one and tell them!!
