    morning peeps!

    Gloooorious sunny morning here... and i'm sat in the office... wonder how i can swing a necessary trip out... shame i did bank and post office yesterday...

    Bookie, that mail order set up you have is great, speaking as your first customer! you should deffo get the website up and running. What with your shop so aptly named it'll be easy for people to spot, does exactly what it says on the tin!

    Tomorrow is friday, and then it's a long weekend for me.. off work on monday although Erin has school... i think it will be gym and swim for me and give runclub a miss monday as doing my next 10k on sunday...
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Its gloriously sunny here :) and its supposed to be nice this weekend so looks like we will be spending it on the beach :)

    Bookie I think once you have it up and running it should be relatively simple. You can start a basic web page up and just use a cart which is free for a minimal cost. If you need any help just shout.

    It does look good Sal - which course did you do, I was thinking about the Emergency + Basic first aid one.

    I did the first aid at work one, but am about to do the one so I can do lifeguard at school swimming pool

    Squirrley,
    I have done St John's and another one (pediatric first aid-by a complany called Blithfield-that one was GREAT!) Speak to your HR manager, work will usually pay for it.

    Oh, and morning.

    Feeling dead :( still...bloomin hormones.

    Bookie, have you read the DFW self employed thread.
    I know at least one of the posters on there runs a mail order business by website, they might be able to offer some hints and tips.

    :grouphug: for the hormones.

    My work will only pay if you volunteer to be a first aid officer here and there are no vacancies at the moment :rolleyes:
