Mooloo it all sounds great I don't know you but feel so proud of what you are achieving. I hope it all continues to be positive and profitable.

Thank you.
I think quite a few people who follow my Ramblings on here feel as if they "know" me, dispite never having met me. But those that do meet me, then say they feel as if they have known me for years.
Although since starting the shop I no longer get time to contribute to or read other threads these days! So come across fewer.

I feel as if I should pinch myself that this is all real. But every morning when I walk into the shop I have a huge smile on my face and I really believe that things can only get better.
As long as I can find great staff to work with me. As I am at my capacity really.

I have had a good day, be it full of interruptions. So many new faces, a few new jobs, and several collections, bringing the funds up to some £250 in today.
I collected DGD from After school club, and then BF of Biggest collected her from me and after a quick meal I went back to work until just before 10pm
So now it's a recorded episode of NCIS, a bar of fruit and nut, and a well chilled glass of white wine!

Morning. Woken early by a message at 6.45 to tell me one of the little girls I teach is sick so won't be in today. So that leaves me with just one lesson at 2pm. Which as I have a Saturday girl in, means I can work on the makes etc and alterations still. Which is a good thing.
I did my spreadsheet update just before I came home, and it is still pretty full so that will help alleviate the stress of time scale a bit.
I can't work overtime tonight as I need to go and get DGD afterwards.
Well I could bring work home to do.

I am shattered. Today it's all catching up on me, and I can't seem to find any energy this afternoon. While DGD was watching DVD Paddington again, I went to sleep. Struggled to get up again, I think the sewing I had wanted to do this evening will probably have to hang on until tomorrow after all.
Yesterday I went to collect DGD from Biggest. She wasn't feeling too well, over doing it herself. Had a cup of tea with her, looked at the scan photos and talked baby, as well as about DS.
Then I took some curtains etc to DS and his GF. They have a very little house, but a massive front garden and a triangle of land at the back. Although the front doorstep is up several steps. I think there are less to the back door. Getting a pram in and out won't be easy.
They have decorated the bathroom, toilet and kitchen, and baby room, and DS has stripped the wallpaper from the front room.
Biggests BF has also gone over to lend a hand. They had vouchers for the decorating. They still need a cooker and carpets.
It meant it was late last night when we got home.
But I feel happier that I know where they are etc.
The GF is going to have a stretch and sweep on Tuesday if the baby hasn't arrived. So I should be a granny again by Wednesday.

That's it. Time for sleep. Alarm is set for 6am
Perhaps if I sleep well I will be able to get some work done in the morning.
Meanwhile I have to give on fighting the sleep and get some.
Tomorrow is a little bit of a new time at Mooloos, with two new staff to work out with. One to sell and one to sew.
Trial periods as well as another to interview. Keeping my options open with part timers. Till I see what they can do.
Night night.

Rough night in the end. DGD was up and down and in able to settle. I was restless once she had woken me.
Then struggled to open my eyes at 6 o'clock.
Had a cup of tea around 6.20.
Been on line ordering my business cards, which took an age.
The last hour had flown by.
Was expecting to see the World Pay card machine transactions in the account from Thursday, but it's not there yet.
Have a review of my Guardianship coming up, that year had gone fast.
I hope I don't loose all of it this year, as without it we would be really struggling, until the shop starts to pay me a wage. But I had been lucky until now, so fingers crossed I am again, however with all the cuts these days I am not taking anything for granted.
My skin is itching like mad. Time to take another antihistamine. Hoping to get the cats moved soon! I'm struggling.
Time to get my act together and get DGD up and out to the Holiday Club.
Have a good one.

Today is cancelled through lack of momentum! Lost time, and mini hiccups.
I miss placed the safe keys, broke the needle plate on the overlocker, never finished a single job due to interruptions.
I had two new ladies start, and a third interviewed.
I couldn't get anything done! So I give up.
I didn't bring anything home, I'd probably mess it up!
So tomorrow is another day, and I am going to start the day fresh!
I hope.
Oh and I ripped the sole off of my boot when I got home.

Oh poor Mooloo, what a frustrating day

I hope today is much better.
