Well done on the business debt, it just shows you will get there.
Is your business seasonal? We did okay in the summer but really cleaned up in the autumn at the Christmas shows. If things are quiet for you in the autumn perhaps you could load up a van and come to England for a week. At our best show we sold a thousand jars in a day at around £2.50 a jar so it might be worth it if you could get the money together for the rent and the stock.0 -

We do best from Easter to Hallow'een - we deliver mostly around coastal areas and so there are lots of caravan parks and thankfully they buy well.
Obviously Hallow'een is good for us!
Christmas seems to quieten down and we do need to think so something that is good for present giving etc. One doesn't really associate Apple Pie with Santa!!LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.

There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!
