how much do I really want to make money

Well loads ofcourse but really you have to have some morals. I have been approached by an online gaming company who want to advertise pon my website. I just think of the greyhounds who are used and abused and murdered both by hanging in spain and by meat in japan, chiona, indonesia etc. All of whom once were born in Ireland or England. Yes I really want to connect myself and my business with such wrong doings! No I do not. I could seriously do with some extra income but this cannot be the only way and if it is then I prefer to give in and get a "regular" boring job. Choice made and that is that. Off to see what tatty has been up to now then.............

online business, xmas wreaths and cold hands

Well I am doing ok with ebay now I have sussed out most of the controls. Lost quite a bit listing wrongly or badly but seem to be doing better now. I am not doing so well on my own website which is a shame but maybe it will slowly pick up. Trouble is xmas soon over and I suspect no one will buy anything I make for a month or so after that so hard times will be ahead. Just heard from M that is snowing where he works - about 20 miles from here but no sign of snow as yet here. Sent a new soap sample to all team members but so far no feedback but having used it myself I think its rather a nice one. Just need to get someone else to tell me what they think - hint hint if anyone out there is reading this........................
Going to have a go at shampoo bars next week. Cant wait to be honest. i only ever made one and it wasnt too bad but now I want to aim to bring out at least 2 early next year since apparently the cosmetics regs are changing and the price of saftey assessments os abou ot go sky high so I need to get as much in there asap as I realistically can manage but ofcourse I still need to make sure its good quality else no point bothering at all. Doing Reading eco-veggie fayre this weekend and hopefully that will be a good one and other than that I am just sending out internet orders till xmas. Looking forward to xmas this year. No nasty company bullying me anymore and no nastiness at all hanging over us. Just hope we can continue to make ends meet..............
Oh and finally made a wreath for the front door but it is a bit large and so had to cut off the outside and it is quite difficult locking and unlocking to door since you cant get to the key holes! Still I do like my new wreath and its all hand made and natural after all....................
I cleaned out my chickens this morning and my hands were so cold I still have pain in the ends of my fingers and thats after about 4 hours. I didnt even use water just a citronella spray. It should stop red spider mites moving into their house and although I usually disinfect I do not want them to have to go to bed later with frozen disinfectanty water a;ll over the inside of their home. I gave them loads of hay so they should be able to snuggle together and keep warm. I do worry about them at this time of year. I want a turkey for xmas - as in to have as a pet but I do not think we can actually afford to feed one right now which is really sad cos I would have liked to have saved someone .............still there is always next year..............
