    Here is an example of where you could make use of a home -based seamstress on an ad hoc basis to take the pressure off at busy times x

    The Home based established Seamstresses here have been sending work to me! As they are at capacity!
    I think that as Dgd is going to her Mum's I will be able to juggle my days and start a little earlier before opening times and stay till 6, to catch up.
    I can only do what I can do at the moment.

    It's another time to say NO and to reduce the back log first.

    In a few minutes when I wake Dgd I need to gather her things and pack a suitcase still. They are coming up today. But yet again I won't get to see them as I am in the shop.
    I keep telling myself only another 16 months. But it will be 15 soon.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Time to put your prices up?


    If you are rushed off your feet and so is everyone else, then clearly there's lots of demand. An extra £1 an hour would help your finances and wouldn't be a big increase for customers.

    Yes I put my prices up on the 1st of May.
    Only one customer changed her mind about having any work done and it was on a price I hadn't altered!
    Better day today.
    Banked as much cash as I could.
    Am still at work, just about to leave.
    Although I was busy this afternoon was quieter and I managed to sew a reasonable amount.
    I feel better about it, as long as I don't look at what is hanging up!
    Time to go home.
    It's Friday night.
    Pub night. Although Dgd is not here now. She went with her Mum this afternoon.
    I said no to Twin2 request for £10 on Tuesday and no to Twin1 request for £20 today.
    I am getting there!

    Haven't heard from DS but what I hear from Biggest is not brilliant and I cannot dwell in it any more.
    As long as he is with the GF there is no hope for them.

    Dgd is doing better at nursery since being with Biggest.
    Baby is more lively but mostly still a happy baby. That's all I can ask.
    Social mettings keep getting cancelled, rearranged and visits altered on a daily basis.
    Biggest still hasn't had any funding sorted out.

    I am still tired but feeling better today.
    Thankfully

    The plan is more sewing today.
    The aim is to continue to catch up while I don't have Dgd home.
    Bit of gardening needed too.
