    wonder if i could sell hubby he well trained...........lol

    We were going out today but have a bit of an upset belly so staying in.
    I have decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and get my butt in gear. We have bought alot of things for daughters wedding for her sweet buffet, so have decided to put it to good use and start a business with it as it all totally reusable. Have my first booking easter saturday so see how it goes.
    Hope fully if it take s off we can go into a bit more todo with weddings as i have realised as much as i love my job my health is starting to suffer doing 6 haircuts in a n hour and solidly for ten hours so need something else to work towards. havea an appoinetment with reumatology in 3 weeks have started to have problems with my arm and leg as i keep losing the sensation in them. Am a bit worried but think it spine related so we will see.
    Hope you all ok miss yapping but been manic x

    The sweet buffet sounds a wonderful idea, they're so popular these days. Sorry you're struggling with your health, hope that you can find out whats causing it, you are working really long, hard hours, i did 2 years hairdressing before going into finance and it was so physically demanding even as a 16 year old I remember everything aching!!
