Well I seem to be getting worse and worse at blogging. My life has become very hectic. I have actually made two different soap sales and am meeting someone tomorrow who is a florist who is interested in stocking my soaps. The trouble is it has become obvious I am rubbish at the storage and logistics side. Spent the whole of wednesday and thursday nights reorganising my storage so i can find everything and know what type of soap most need to be made next. I havent had time to make any more yet but suspect i will do so tomorrow after the meeting. At least now we have got round to wrapping some of it we can start to cut some of the large bars which really should have been cut last week or even the previous week and then left to dry out further. When they are cut they take much more space up since have to be lain out to dry and I keep running out of space. It was all getting a bit much but then I decided why am I stressing out. This is meant to be fun and fullfilling .......the fact I still work fulltime means no time for the soap or for me but its going to change. I do not yet know how I shall make it happen but I intend to do my best to and i believe it will all work out so it must. Got ripped off by the labels guy who has charged me £500 more than he quoted!!!!! Well a lesson to be learned here- always get a written quote! So I am learning but this is the painful way. I wont get caught out like that again and not sure I shall be going back to him either. Depends on how it all goes I suppose cos we now have a great design and logo and infact my company has been born! The new ecommerce website is started but yet to go live and I have enrolled for the webdesign course. Also have a job interview for a new job which I am hoping may come off since it sounds much better than my current boredom boredom unfulfilling boredom that is my working life. Made friends with the local scrap man who came and removed loads of metal - well I would rather give away than let skip company have it when we are paying them for the skip itself - let them have the s5it we cannot get carried away since thats the point and they wont make much out of us! Well other than the extortionate hire of the skip itself of which we will probably need another 2-3 skips!
Except for the fact I completely enjoy blogging, I should probably give it up due to never doing it very often! Still perfection is something to be aimed at and never achieved.
I also read part of a new blog Owls Wings which I find very inspiring and interesting so will be going back there. Need to catch up with Tatty too since have been very slack reading blogs recently.
This is about me finding myself and the story of how I have changed my life, become self employed and how I developed the products which are now my livelihood. Its the story of all the trials and problems and wonders of life that happen. I cannot even think what it would be like to return to the me of 2008 now and altho I am very poor really financially I am so very much happier and quality of life is so much better. And I am closer to being free than ever before in my adult life.
