Stepping into 2014- walking in My Shoes with Mooloo

Savvy_sewing

Yes I'm sure that could be, but how would she know about my friend? She only started with me last week and I haven't mentioned her at all. She couldn't have known which one of us was Mooloo or assistant. Oh yes she could my Avitar, but I don't think she was. She was definitely a Romany, and was peddling her wares in town. Not a local. She was Cornish.

The stuff she said was so accurate for both my friend and me. Even down to how many businesses I have had! I doubt they are all on here. But there was the way she was just firing things at us so fast, going from one to the other in quick fire successions as if each snippet of info was tumbling into her brain and she was talking so fast as if trying to keep up with her knowledge.
The only fact that wasn't ringing true was thinking about going to Ireland. But earlier in the day I had been talking about my childhood and how we went to Boarding School because Dad was posted to Northern Ireland in the 70's.
Oh well, let's see if she is right about what's to come! Another cuddly man ( does she mean fat or that he likes to cuddle ??), and debts repaid in the new year. The success of the business and a trip to Ireland where someone will have something to give me.

Home at last. Private lesson in the end due to cancellations, but it's good practise, and makes for a more informal lesson, and tailored to the customer.
Tired. I shall be off to bed very soon.

I hope you take non-refundable deposits for lessons Mooloo... It's a reasonable thing to do (and you could let them credit the deposit against another course if you want to encourage them to come in another time) and lots of places do it. Some even ask for all fees up front and they are only partially refundable depending on how far in advance you cancel.

Mum was ever so pleased with her curtains and she has exacting standards :):)

DD really enjoyed babysitting DGD too :T:T:T

Glad Mum was happy Molly. Glad to have been able to help.
Yes the business is certainly busy! The time is flying by.
Talked to DD about going to Woburn on the 8th.

Greenbee, I usually do take up front, but for yesterday's as it was a late addition, from requests on Facebook I hadn't. But I won't make that mistake again. The terms etcetera are on my sheets, so I will implement them.

I struggled to sleep last night, and had a song tune going round and round in my head. "Lately I've been, I've been loosing sleep, ...." Didn't help.
Sluggish this morning now!

I wonder if some of the ache is muscles being worked? I'm not being rude, but when I moved back from America I suffered terribly with my left shoulder. Turns out it was from changing gear on the wrong side of the car! I managed to drive through the pain, but assured it was horrid.

It's obvious that I've triggered off my old problems by constant work 48 hours a week! I think I need an occupational therapist to come and tell me what I need to change my positions, etc maybe different seat?
Today I had to work with my heat pad on. Obviously it slowed me down.
I managed to shorten 3 pairs of trousers. Remove a cuff, shorten a Ralph Lauren jacket, replacing the cuff. Shorten a fur coat, and lengthen a Harris Tweed jackets arms.
But that's working too slowly!
I have to keep the pace and quality going. Obviously keeping the quality is the priority. Which I have of course. But speed and efficiency needs to be maintained to be cost effective!
Tonight I am in agony! So I am worried. But I won't panic, I will look at my chair, and desk and see what I can improve.
On the good side the work is going well, the shop is developing and I'm happy with it.

IIRC don't you have cervical ankylosing spondilitis? If I have, a consultation with an OT about your working ergonomics could be beneficial.
Apols if I've misremembered.

Have you tried an osteopath? - helped me on two occasions with chronic pain where physio didn't do a thing i was astounded.

Yes, they were treating me for that. Although then the gp had a different opinion last year. I did have an OT before, but moved catchment when I came here.
But I feel I'm heading back and that's not good, and I will do whatever I can not to slide back!!
( pain level is highest I can remember in 2 years now!)
Not good.
I will get a massage booked as soon as I can!
