xmas markets and tons achieved

Well life is too short. Done lots on monday to wednesday when not at work but spent the last 2 days wishing my life away again. Trying to sign up for a Christmas market on Towcester but dont actually know how to pronounce Towcester. Toe cest er? Or Towster?? Who knows. It could be a bit embarrassing tho doing a market in a town you cant pronounce the name of. Still got a few months yet to sus out the pronunciation. Spent all of Monday at interview for dream job which didnt get. Looked round Camden market and didnt buy anything which was very difficult but being broke and in trouble and trying to pay off debts would be silly to spend what havent got. Then tuesday made soap and cleaned the house but in the opposite order. Wednesday decided no way will afford accountant next year so best get off 4rse and do the company books. Not a great surprise to find lots gone out an very little come in tho have actually now sold £39.95 in soap!!!! Not a great amount I know but very encouraging for me. This entrepreneurship stuff is dead hard maan! Starting to wonder how I will ever get this company off the ground and actually trading. Then delivered some soap to local florist who is selling for me and came home and had encouraging email froma site who sell stuff like mine saying someone would call me but they havent and not sure whether to be cheeky and just go for it or just forget the whole thing!. Then wednesday afternoon spent hours and hours till 7pm wrapping and labelling soap and individually pricing to sell when do get a stall somewhere. Seriously knackering is the word for it. I need to buy a bar stool for the kitchen so I can sit whilst doing all this hard work. Anyway having wrapped everything. Made 4 new bars of soaps ( curing ready to cut next week) and sorted out curing cupboard have now decided need more to actually do a stall than just bars of soap so going to make lots of bath bombs since over last few months of playing for us seem to have perfected and now dare I say it as good as Lush ones. Well I think so and so do several others who have tried them out. No longer using basic recipe off internet either have altered. Just need to decide which are best recipes and then get safety assessment and hopefully will have about 100 for the xmas market on 7th December. And need to buy some nice looking baskets to present them in on this stall. Then last 2 days back in dreary office doing boring work which just gives me nothing back and doesnt even pay very well. There has to be a better way to live really there does. Got to enquire about local University markets too since a very long time ago in the 80s I sold lots of stuff like hand made jewellery and screen printed Tshirts at one and could do that again one day a week or fortnight. I think this will come together eventually really I do but so far I have laid out nearly £4000 and got £39.95 back! Still they say you need to speculate to accumulate................we will see.........Luckily have very nice partner who is encouraging me all the way. Well he may not be rich but he has lots going for him in other ways or has now I have gone and invested all my savings and lots of money each month from wages in this slightly mad idea. Maybe it will eventually pay of who knows. In meantime have caught up with reading other blogs and am now intendingt o get round to properly subscribing to them. Oh and has lots of problems with 1&1 internet ecommerce site not working so emailed em and complained and they said they couldnt find anything wrong but when logged back in they have fixed it all so hopefully by monday might even have online business going! Reminds me of that song..............things can only get better.............cant remember for life of me who sang that ( probably very uncool band) but who cares. Today is friday and cant wait for weekend this week. Not that anything has changed there!
