Mooloo - when is she moving - do you have the address? I wouldn't put it past her to just move with DGD!

My worst fears!
I have an address, well I don't, my Mum got the lads address off of him last year.

Funny kind of day. Early start getting DS to his Paintball place, for a days work. Home to have breakfast, work in the kitchen and put washing etc on.
Work for 9am and time to update and post out the sewing lessons update.
At 9.30 a wedding dress final fit, all brilliant, one happy bride.
10am and the cushion covers etc collected and paid for.
A steady plod of jobs. Took the car to the garage as the switch for the brake lights etc wasn't working. So a walk back after it was fixed.
A quick look at the charity shop enroute, buying a couple of felt sewing kits.
Banking £305 the cash in before the bank shuts at lunchtime.
Two little girls in for sewing lessons this afternoon, after another trip out to a fabric sale in the WI hall. ( handy having Saturday staff!).
All in all a good day to round off an incredibly busy week. By the time the card machine payments hit the bank we will have done £1200.00 this week alone!
Such a difference from the end of February when I had £16.04 in the bank after the rent had gone out. We started today with £485 in the bank after all the 1st of the month payments had gone out.
I am so chuffed. The feed back was good as well.
Had a few bags of decent clothing donated as well this week, so once they are ironed and sorted then we will be changing the shop stock up.
We started a May Day Sale yesterday, so all old stock is currently 1/2 price.
I would like to find purchasing more stuff eventually, but need rid of the current lot!
Bath time, then after DS is collected and taken home, a friend and I are going out for dinner. Yum yum!

So glad the shop is doing well xx

Can I just congratulate on how well you have done and are doing.

You should feel so proud of all your achievements.

Hope you enjoy your well deserved meal.

Take care x

Nice one Mooloo really pleased for you. I know exactly how it feels to have such variable months and still have to pay your fixed overheads. Really hope you can build up a reserve now for the future bad times. I always try to.

Savvy_sewing

Yes I hope to start to build that reserve. I'd also like to pay myself soon.
Yesterday was a trip to MK! But it was more sitting in the que outside ikea etc
We gave up in the end. Did manage to pick up some new sleep wear from Primarni. I was fed up of sleeping in my Christmas style pjs.
In the evening it was a night infront of the TV
Today we used our National Trust membership to go to Upton House.
We picnicked in the gardens. But didn't get to view the house as the wait for timed slots was too long.
Then I collected some fence panels and bags of my Dad's clothes to sort/sell/recycle etc.

Morning! What a wet and miserable day! I shall have to put my cheery bright top on, to help with moods. I am also excited, yet fearful, as I take delivery of my Accessories Stand today!
A new step forward for Miooloo's.
I doubt we will beat last weeks record take. As we don't have any big jobs in. But we can try!
I need to get an appointment with the doctor as my itching is still rampant and travelling all over my body now! My moles are also itching and I had to cover two with plasters to stop me making them bleed! So I must get this sorted out sooner rather then later!
My other dressmaker lady is coming in today for the full day, so she will be helping me to finish off the current jobs in, and hopefully allow me to make my curtains for the new changing area on the ground floor.

It may be worth asking if anyone at your surgery has a particular interest in skin conditions ... and then ask to see them!

Grumpyoldmoo

You are doing brilliantly Mooloo, see where true grit & determination get you :j

I am still awake!
I have been tossing and turning most of the night. Dispite the creams etc I'm as if my skin is on fire!
Can't wait to ring the doctors in the morning ( again). I was unsuccessful yesterday trying to get an appointment.
Then there are a lot of loose end jobs playing on my mind so I have now decided I will need to go into work afterall.
The accounts etc are also needing attention and organising better etc.
So I need to work smarter and faster.
I've just had a cup of tea, written an entry in my diary to try and off load my busy mind, and am hoping that I can get an hours sleep before the morning!
