    I'm a regular reader just usually lurk!

    Have you thought about reducing your opening hours, whilst you look into working more from home or are busy juggling everything? You must have busier shop times than others, if you planned your opening hours around these, customers would have to fit in with you orvmake an appointment to drop clothes off and you might be able to catch up with the sewing

    Oh! We don't get Anglia news here ironically we get Meridian.
    I will have to see if I can bring it up on the iplayer or what ever it's called.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Yes I am just trying to analyse the days and see if I can change it around but it will be fine for the alterations but it will probably be detrimental to the retail side of it. But it very well may be the best option.

    Currently sewing. But the retail has been increasing faster since Staff left and Biggest worked.
    I was always upstairs so I never really analysed it very well, but I recently noticed a small upturn in the sales. So I suppose I watch the space so to speak.
    I am way passed my bedtime. I wanted an early night but got sidetracked.
    Good night. X

    Expecting another busy day, fittings booked in morning and evening.
    The artist turned up again, and I told him that I am too busy to make all his things, that I am tired and working 7 days a week is not ideal.
    I don't think he was listening! I was busy trying to serve customers, answer the telephone etc and One minute he was standing there with his coffee in his hand and then he was gone.
    I wish he would make appointments!!

    Quite possible!
    I need three of me at the moment.

    On the plus side I am out of the overdraft.
    Although I would like another £800 in to cover the end of the month bills. But we have time.

    On the personal side it looks like I have kept my funding for dgd as I have had two payments in this week. Presume one is the bank holiday early payment. But that's ok as it has been transferred into the savers. So I have clawed back savings up to £500.
    Yeah.
    Until another bill comes in that wasn't planned.
