website

Finally got one of the website programs to work and have a "live" website at last. Still needs to have lots done to it yet but its on the way now. Having lots of problems with E-business insurance. Business advisor has said DO NOT SELL SOAP WITHOUT PRODUCT LIABILITY INSUANCE! Actually not easy to get for anything you sell over the internet. Asked advice from one of the soap suppliers and they said try the BERR website/ service so will have to do that this week. Problem with weekends is all government departments are closed and when trying to get business up and running as well as full time working its really hard to do stuff in the week.I suppose (hopefully anyway) I will look back on this as just a minor problem at some point in the future. Right now its a real hurdle. The nature of the company I work for is that because they give us lunch ( obviously a good bonus) but you have to have a sociable lunch and cannot go off and do your own thing. I actually have decided I would prefer a "normal" company where you bring your own sarnies etc and can get away from the people you work with. If you dont get on with everyone where I work you are in a slight mess! It also means I do not have 30-60 minutes a day at lunchtime where I can do stuff for my own company. They seem to have forgiven me for not wanting to go horse racing anyway and thats a relief. I cant wait to get up and running and hopefully to be able to work from home. It would be great to spend my life at home with my dogs. And to see them more. Dogs do not live long. Mine are already 4 years old and I only really get to spend 2 days a week with them and part of that usually inviolves them being alone whilst I go food shopping. Also I could give up my car since we would only need one and that is a lot less money going out on fuel, tax, insurance etc. Have to start trading to get the soap company to grow and the home based business to get off the ground. If we could make enough we might even manage to afford for us both to get homebased businesses. M`s homebrew is improving loads and he is now investigating buying small scale industrial equipment to make his own wort. Wort is the gooey stuff you buy in a beer kit and has already been processed. If he did it himself he could possibly start selling to shops or pubs and go into business doing it. Well its probably as likely to work as making soap so why not! Weirder things have happened anyway.
