    Mambury - personally I think your decision should be based on if you will use it again...in other words can you get more of these and make even more profit by having a dummy.

    If this is a one off then don't eat into your profit but ifyou can use a dummy long term then invest!
    Life is a work in progress

    Hi all, been really busy today, just caught up on all the events!

    Mambury - Do you know anyone that owns a dress shop that you can borrow a dummy from? Or it might be worth asking your local shops, even charity shops if they have one they want to get rid of (cheap!)When I photograph clothes I hang them on a hanger on the back of my door (which is white) but I am thinking about a dummy if I start selling more as I do think it looks more professional.

    Munchki - my fingers and toes are crossed for you for the Scotland job :D

    Em - If you took the promotion and hated it, could you go backwards, although people say never take a step backwards, I went for a promotion in a different department of the company I worked for and hated it to the point were I resigned with no job to go to and they reinstated me in my old position, this was particularly lucky I'll admit, just a thought though.

    Saucy - Keep smiling babe :A

    My wholesale stuff came today and I picked up my ebay wins, my spare room / office is now very full! I am officially banning myself from buying any more bulk buys (unless it's a cracking deal!) Got more bids on ebay. Not having much luck on BB, only won £2.50 and been playing for a couple of weeks now :(

    Hey ho, all a bit of fun! Must go to bed early again tonight, still tired and have to work tomorrow, must be on top form as they might offer me some evening hours too :)

    Hi Nat - can I be nosy and ask if your wholesaler is in this country or abroad? I'm looking for one but I'm a bit wary of the Chinese type ones etc. You can always pm me if you don't want to discuss it on here or just ignore me alltogether if you don't want to talk about it - I won't be offended honest!!

    well the supplier I have found deals in brand names like monsoon, per una etc.... I think this might be an ongoing thing if these dresses sell well.....

    Nixinixi - I think you have made my decision for me!
