    Wheatgrass is v.good for you Linda......but worth it??
    £ for ml, tequil is cheaper:D;)

    Hmm, can't help thinking tequila wouldn't be so advantageous health wise!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    My main problem is cashflow Pepe. I have lots of ideas but can't afford to get them in!

    I find the same Pepe, my girls who say their dental exams were easy are often the ones that fail!

    Bookie, I haven't been on here very long so I don't know whether you only sell new books, but have you thought about maybe offering second hand books as well, where you offer people say £1 per book or something then put your margin on top then resell? Hope you don't think I'm sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong :o


    Good idea. Might be worth a corner. We do have about 6 charity shops though.
    People keep telling me to trust in the Lord and He will provide. :o That only makes me feel inadequate as a christian as well as a businesswoman.

    If you were able to allocate space to an enhanced stock range......could you sub-let to another party?
    Could give you guaranteed return on that footage and get more footfall in general?
