    things are going well, the site is almost ready to go live, a little earlier than planned which is great, thanks to the dedication and hard work of kevicho;) you are the best!!!! most of our product pics are uploaded and the descriptions too! it is all so exciting seeing it taking shape!:D

    have had five deliveries of stock so far, and have had friends ooohing and ahhhing over lots of items, which was nice to hear lol

    packaging all sorted and on its way next week! the ebay shop is open, although only a very few item on there so far...just seeing which products go well...........and.......we have had our first sale:beer: !!!!!!!!! was so excited, i took a picture of the packed box :D first of many i hope!!!!!:j

    during this very busy week, i have also managed to do all normal stuff with the kids as its summer holidays, keep on top of the housework (just) and finish my assignment for the OU. i am well and truly exhausted this evening!!!
    but its all been so worthwhile!
