Nice People 12: Nice in Nice

Incidentally I was thinking of cookzilla. If you can make a cookzilla happy in their kitchen, you can make anyone happy. Plus the domain is available as of 30 seconds ago.

ETA, I like fit to eat. That's a clever play on words.

Just gone into the utility room at the back of the garage. To find OH in there in a state of undress, and wrapping himself in one of the dog's towels.

he was being very coy so I said "its OK I have seen it before". He replied " Not creosoted, you haven't".

He tipped the bucket of creosote over his front...about an hour ago, but kept on painting until he had finished.

I have seen the damage now wish I had pictures.

Let's put it this way...his pubic hair has returned to the dark brunette it was when he was a young man, and his important little places are well tanned.

I have been crying with laughter. He was wearing overalls, a hat, rubber gloves as he usually gets splashes which stain his skin for days.

I just made a sandwich: brown bread, salad cream spread on, 8 halved baby plum tomatoes, sliced boiled egg..... and a can of Pepsi.

Spirit, can I please say thank you for your post. I can't begin to tell you how much that has made me chuckle. Poor DH. I am imagining that it washes off to a bronze finish and that he'll look a bit like a grown up Mannequin Pis.

Does the creosote tin say anything about "preserving ... for long-lasting enjoyment"?

Who's your target customer Dooz? Also, are you offering a full service or supply only?

Aaargh. Target markets. I need to dig out my notes from when we started marketing Doozer.

My target market in this area will probably be 30-50 somethings, time poor professionals who want something to impress the neighbours but need someone with a design eye to listen and interpret their needs, and someone trustworthy to manage it, either because they are out of the house or have children there. They'll be a bit MSE and open minded as they'll be prepared to sacrifice the retail frontage for a what should be a better or similar price to the usual kitchen suspects but a much better service. Around here they'll probably live in a 4 bed lego box.

Initially I plan to purchase CAD software to design kitchens, save me telling Howdens/Magnet/Benchmarx how to do their job and offer immediately from their ranges (because we already do). I'm going to investigate my own supplier and retail space iminently, but I need to gear up the marketing and create the environment first and see if I can keepyself afloat without.

JFDI as my friends say.

The word I'm thinking of is (will delete)
simpatico
adj.
1. Of like mind or temperament; compatible.
2. Having attractive qualities; pleasing.

I can use phrases around it like 'bread & butter' (nods to Gen) 'cup & saucer' and something like 'you & us' to reflect how important I feel the relationship is in a successful pairing. Soppy like that. Work is sh£te if you don't like people or they're general troublemakers.

I was playing around with Generali's dancing angels, but the problem is with kitchen related stuff is that the danger is of sounding like a reataurant or a cookshop.
