I've let blogging slide a bit again, really must make more effort!

We eventually made it over to Merry's two days later and spent a lovely day there, leaving early only so I could make it to SW. I was given the grand tour of Merry's new premises - so jealous about having real space for stock and packing!! I found myself helping to unpack a stock delivery and packing orders, always such a pleasure for me to have a busmans holiday!

Had a frantic almost three weeks because as well as running my own two businesses my parents kindly went off to India leaving me to run their business again. I hate the stress and loss of time but as they've now sold their business and officially retired full time (having semi-retired years ago at the ages of 46 & 49 ish) I won't ever have to do it again - yay!

Charlie has been enjoying scouts lots, hasn't made a fuss about my decision to not let him go to Scout camp this year, is still doing well with Singapore Math, loving his SL, EC & DWN. He's been designing a gear box, drawing, more map making, and is currently obsessed with celtic round houses.

Suffering from retail death atm on both sites which isn't good especially after the start of the month was so promising. Pah. Trying not to panic as have huge stock bills to pay this month with this being the second biggest buying quarter in a year.

The third website is getting a bit closer to being launched but is currently held up by cash flow and still needing to source a supplier for 3 key lines.

Haven't yet managed to make it to the doctors about lack of sleep hence me being wide awake writing this at 3.15am, but will try to sort it soon. So I am pulling an all-nighter tonight in a desperate attempt to reset my body clock and am amusing myself with one of may favourite episodes of The L Word where one-half of the lead couple has gone straight and holds a "mixed for her gay and straight friends" with her boyfriend. It's hysterically funny for lots of reasons, boy butter being one of them, the straight and gay friends who know nothing about opposing celebs/important people during a game of "celebrity" being another and finally the look on her face when she finally realises that her previous lifestyle just does not combine with her new "straight" lifestyle. Thank god she returns to the light side!
