    DH gets the ends of my bottles :) It helps we have similar skin needs and the same hair. He doesn't wear makeup though, liquid or otherwise.

    I thought you were female. :o

    I couldn't possibly say on MSE how many pairs I have (including sitting down shoes) but I do have only 1 pair of slippers......3 seems excessive.:D

    And on topic to WS thread, I have missed pottering about this evening but have been very disciplined uploading stock. I am bored to death now.

    PM's have been bumped over to tomo.

    And, to share, had a fairly traumatic phone call last night from a boutique customer who is going down fast. I hardly know her but have chatted to her off and on when she orders and when she opened. It's so sad and it's been on my mind all day.
    I sent her some info, budget sheets, links to sss555's biz forum and the number of the guy who advised us on the lease liabilities....she has PG's on everything.
    OH says I can't 'do' anything ......which obviously I can't...but I keep thinking about it.
    I might tag it onto Pobbys pub thread if I have time tomo.

    It's easy confused on here :D

    I can see why you thought that with me saying i liked your avatars but i didn't realise you made clothes at the time and it was just a comment on your avatars :A


    The biz forum can be quite good and i've spent hours helping a guy who works in my field (different country) and is just starting out.

    Wish i got that help at the start :D

    I tried with a bloke and a coffee shop (as local to me) but I think he has already decided to go....but didn't seem to 'get' that you can't just walk out of places (mainly due to Business rates).....well you can but it trebles the hassle in an already difficult situation. I got a sweet PM though.

    I did offer to travel 4 hours to see the boutique owner but I can't 'do' anything as I would know straight away if it had promise. I know her T/O and fixed costs and they are so wide apart, I don't see how she can pull it back. I can't go there and say something like max it out...then if it still went down it could be seen as 'my fault'?
    Nor do I feel it is my place to say she should give up on it...even though that maybe is what she wants to hear.

    The hardest part was I am a sort of stranger and she just chose to 'phone me last night and spilled it all out...then she got to the part about using grandmothers CC as a last chance and started to cry. She's got young kids too.
    I don't know why it has hit me so hard...afterall she is just a small customer but I know why it's failing.
