Hello folks,

Have been around and about - more around than about - thought I'd check in and see what everyone else is up to.

I'm struggling to work when Eithne is at home as she is intrested in every single thing I do - Friday she turned my laptop off 4 times - one of those was while I was on the phone with a customer trying to read some info off my laptop. Thankfully they were understanding as they have children. LOL

I've got a lot on my plate bookkeeping wise - several sets of accounts I have got to get finished in the next 3 weeks - please send me some extra hours per day? I also have a few web projects to get sorted out (though not within the 3 week time period thankfully. LOL)

I got a new catalolgue from one of our suppliers for Delicate Dreams and even though they claim to have added over 170 products to their line - the catalogue is way thinner than last year and most of the stuff we buy from them is no longer available so they will not be one of our main suppliers anymore. Keep an eye out for an End of the Line sale as I think anything we can't easily get anymore we'll put it up in a sale. Still trying to figure out how to get the new supplier I want but funds are a bit tight. Saying that June was a bumper month for us and we totally smashed our targets. YAY! Hoping July will do just as well but we shall see.

Anyway I will try to answer posts and be as helpful as I can over the next few weeks, but if I only lurk, it's because I'm either buried under a mount of paper or because I'm fighting with Eithne for my laptop. LOL

How is everyone else doing? I hope things are going well for all!

Arianna, regarding a new supplier - have you thought about attending the Home and Gift fair at Harrogate this month?

Sounds like Eithne is being a little monkey for you - bless her. :laugh: Fantastic news on Delicate Dreams being so busy for you.

I had thought about it but we're going away the weekend afterwards so things are a bit hectic. LOL

I'm going to stick it on my list though for next year and try my best to go.

I've got a supplier in mind that I want to go with but they have a very big first order value. :-(

Hey you, sounds like you're busy and trying to fend off your little trouble maker LOL. Let me know if I can be of any help with the web projects. I too am finding it hard to go 'backwards' working with babe in arms again. But at least he naps alot at the moment (unlike yours), but like yours it won't be long till he's in to everything and switching things off and unplugging stuff etc. My older two are sometimes good at distracting him, but thankfully they are in school during the day - wish school was until 5pm!

Got a busy week ahead of me so I'd better go and do some work before Jonah wakes up! Give me a shout if you need anything.:D

Trouble maker is an understatement. LOL I will give you a shout if I need it hun - thanks for the offer. Thankfully the web side of things is under control - for the moment. LOL

Jude had just started the grabbing everything and kicking everything when I feed him thing and it's really frustrating. I'm dreading him starting to move!

Hope you are feeling ok and things are going well and I'm really looking forward to seeing you soon and to showing you the shop :) I had an agent of one of my bigger companies down today and she was really impressed (and there's nothing in there yet!!!).
