    Well a few things done but still quite a list.

    The interview was the shortest ever :) lots of questions about availability etc. and one question about teamwork should hear in two to three weeks

    Pamper evening was a disaster :eek: doubt we reached double figures of people through the door won two raffle prizes very glad DD came with me at least I had someone to chat to

    Outfit today very casual up to tea time then changed into trousers and top from coast and short purple jacket from M&S and my ankle boots - worn boots of one sort or other all week love them :j

    Tired now so going to have a quick mooch and then bed so that I am fit to tackle the list again tomorrow

    DTxx
  • Sorry the pamper evening didn't go too well, any particular reason, do you think?

    you've still got plenty on that list, but hopefully will get a few of them done today.

    I'll have to read back to see the clothes, but you are sounding positive about things now, thats the difference feeling good about yourself will make.

    Oh no! As gill said, look at the reasons ... advertising? timing? location? wrong market? learning from it is important. It wasn't as personal, but when we first started our business up, we kept a close eye on what adverts worked and what didn't - they were all roughly the same, but some just didn't attract anyone, because of the publication, not the advert itself.
