    I've been Money Tipped!
    Fed up of feeling cross with tv news so deciding g not to watch it for a while. Not opposed to devolution for organisational matters but to compare how the States work with UK in business centres ( and to a hued degree organization) is just silly. People have a really odd perception of the SIZE of uk and things like scale of logistics costs etc.

    Bloody got the dodgy pills again.

    And ....despite having to sign for them they knocked in the door and ran......knowing I was going to refuse them.


    Its not so bad I cannot do another month, but I kinda don't want to. If there is a shortage however I don't feel I need to be at top of the list for those available. :(

    There's a lady I see around here with a tricycle with a big box on the back. She goes round all the building sites and so on selling sandwiches. If she sells £200 worth of sandwiches, and the gross profit is 75% say, that's £150 a day she's earning from quite a short working day. It wouldn't suit Gen, as he couldn't combine that with childcare. I don't see how you leverage the business, because, if you employ people to cycle round the building sites, it won't take them long to figure out that they can make the sandwiches themselves.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Can you call a couple of pharmacies to check whether they can get the right pills? That's the first step. If so, you call your pharmacist and say you want them or you are rejecting the whole consignment and you want your prescription back. He needs to supply exactly what's prescribed. When I get stroppy, I get really really stroppy! :)

    Mrs Generali and I are going to sit down at the weekend and go over all the ideas.

    I have an idea what we'll plump for, a mix of some of the food ideas, but we'll see what happens when we chat about it.

    On my way home I walked along a long pedestrianized street and someone played the first verse of When a Child is Born, 15 times, on the pan pipes, amplified.

    It's a toss up whether pan pipes or bagpipes are worse for me. Pan pipes lack the drone of the bag pipe as well as the Cod Celt thing. However Pan Pipes have that horrible faux nouveaux spiritual thing. They're 'relaxing' but only when you've shoved them where the.....I'll stop now.


    The horror, the horror.

    Welcome, Juliette from Illinois, Greater Hertfordshire.
    Do you have your chips (french fries) with mayo, vinegar or salad dressing?

    Hey. Thanks for your kind welcome. Why? Do you want some fries? We can eat together some times :)

    I strongly suspect that our new bestest friend Juliette likes a Spam fritter or 2. Fancy a new kitchen?
    Can I choose both?;)

    So option 4: food
    4.2: make & sell frozen ready meals like the Cook chain in SE England. Start in farmers market and look to move to a shop later
    Pros: very under-developed market in Aus. Little quality opposition from supermarkets. Could work around child care until business profitable.
    Cons: PITA supply chain as the food needs to be moved frozen.
    .
    .

    Get a van and deliver to homes. our elderly neighbours use farm foods for a frozen meals on wheels service
