more work and work and work but maybe its worth all the stress

Well its been a long long while and I have been sooooooooo busy. Doesnt matter. BVF is this week. A week today infact. Feels like time to get round to blogging anyway. With a small bit of luck and some real work the website ( the REAL website) will go live tomorrow tho have yet to suss out paypal!!! Also to take some reasonable photos ( am so bad at photography!) Still the learning curve is every increasing. Maybe that means I will earn loadsa money! I wish!!. Well yesterday turned up at Hinkley market to find there was no stall. Thats after making £15 loss 2 weeks on the trot at Morton in the Marsh ( the apparent dead cert winner!!! And I am so lucky to get a stall there!!!!!!) Not for me and my product it would seem. So thats the end of that. I intend to try Coventry.............send em(back) to Coventry! Well no doubt about it every time I manage to leave the place I seem to end up back again. Well whatever. They have a Lush and a Body Shop and my products sort of encompass both - on top of that its reputedly the home to animal rights and I have no problem with that and all my products are now Vegan Soc registered- well all except the lip balms -due to me not sending all stuff in - an error but I do expect they will be registered very soon so no problems. So why not. Also the fact you know half approx of the city could actually go in your favour couldnt it?? Either way it has to be a big city and why not old Cov! Almost my hometown - well have spent more than half my life there tho not actually from there at all. My mum is tho so maybe thats it. Anyway would rather try Cov than Leicester so Cov it will be. If possible friday but I have also asked for a place at the new sunday market at the Ricoh Arena which just might be good. I dont do a Sunday anywhere else tho the fact its indoors will be a downer in summer but might turn out great in winter I spose! Who knows maybe its better to work where people DO know your name. Anyway I give in. Time to try the home town. Last week was a record, I took over £130 in Rugby. Today tho down to £40 and to be fair the stall nearly took off several times. Other traders lent me clips and sheets to try and stop the wind. Theyre a great bunch of folk tho. Beats office politics. Oh and the company I used to work for ( yesterday time was up!!!)have said they will pay me what they owe ------still we have to see the money yet----I will keep you posted! I sort of wish they didnt give in and that they would go to tribunal cos theres so much they will get away with if they dont!Tho still I could lose but I would love to see them there..............am I just evil?? Maybe! Or maybe when you have very little to lose morals are more important than money! Right now I feel so happy to be truly free for the first time in my entire life since I went to Uni to escape the (freedom!) of unemployment!. But I am making no money and this cannot continue unless I start to make enough to live on. That unfortunately is just life! Anyway onward to Brighton Vegan Fayre to make the company name and to maybe oneday be a real self employed person who actually makes enough money to pay the bills. Until next Saturday then have to sign off since will be making stock, Getting website online ( I truly hope and even pray!) and everything else I have to do to make it happen. Wishing all the world that all their dreams come true..................Oh and all my mates I really have made some new soap and will send as soon as can get it sorted. Its all ready and seems very promising its just a bit mad right now.....................And theres 4 new not three! All the best to everyone who may come accross this.............
