Insane RAMblings of a barking sheep

That sounds good, Shaun, for the first week - and the marketing and advertising and then word of mouth will help it build. Networking on facebook seems to be a winner too - I've been hearing recently about jewellery sales where people don't even have their own website, they sell through their facebook page.

hello peeps
:o a hem :o went looking for my dairy,,,,page 95:o:eek::eek::eek::eek:

lets see

shop is starting to tick which wasn't helped by the snow:mad: or the bwoody useless council :mad::mad::mad:

engraving is going ok done a few special jobs which were,hard interesting ,challenging,annoying,stressful,and such a joy to finish :rotfl::rotfl:

business wise we are 15% of the way their,,,loads to do and days toooooooooo short,,
if youve not seen photos their loads up on face book on ,,just to say ,,
working on a shopping cart for fb and the web site both slow going,,also launching a party plan business in January and looking at a barbers to open in march,,also looking for a cash back or click through company that will trade in Ireland..

wont make a fortune but each of the others businesses should raise 200 euro a week,so producing a good enough income so that we can apply for a mortgage,, (700 800 a week needed)

nearly bed time and up early as always ,,
will try and get back before the big day 25th :easter:

hope everyone is well ,and avoiding the xmas dept!!

love you all

Lovely to hear from you Shaun. I'm glad the new business is picking up speed. Will the barbers etc be done by you, (similsr to engraving??) or are others renting a space from you?

no i will rent the shop and equipment,they pay me €60 rent each and €1 per cut,commission,, 2x barbers will be self employed,,

Glad to see things are going well for you Shaun - may it get even better in leaps and bounds!

Ahh I see. So you're utilizing the rooms above the shop too. What a good idea.

Just back from Ireland, Shaun, which made me think of you.

Also thinking that there are only

FOUR DAYS TO CHRISTMAS

Hi Shaun - I missed your other posts, only found it now because Pickle came back

**waves at Pickle too**

Your plans sound great - andnowadays, I think thats the only way to go - multiple income streams, or, as Pippi calls, a patchwork life - stops all your eggs being in one basket.

Have a lovely, lovely Christmas.
