UPDATE!!!
I am so excited, my client was very impressed with my work, he has ordered around £400 of products (£300 profit, not fully confirmed yet) and has recommended me to others, he has great connections for networking and has already secured me 2 further clients, one of them could be a big order.
Excited my business idea is really taking off now.0 -
good afternoon all ,(why does that always sound more formal than good morning?)
This morning i have changed gas and electric suppliers, potentionally saving a massive £183.78 a year, thats over 2 months dd payments,(time will tell).
I have done 4 loads of washing on 30 or 40 and hung on line to dry
Sorted through massive clean laundry pile and narrowed it down to 8 items that need ironing to save electric (i hate it with a passion)
pulled our bed away from wall to sweep behind and found a fiver,, must put it back under the matress lol
thats it i think so far.
Painted lady i dont know what your business venture is, but it sounds very lucrative, keep up the good work and good luck with it. bye.Its not how far you fall but how high you bounce back that matters
