Houston I got my period!!!!

Well I thought it was worth announcing to the world in general! Almost ironic how I complain loudly about the lack of it and then it arrives!!

I didn’t get to write yesterday evening … I was absolutely knackered!! It was a good day, but just not for financial reasons!! The East Preston market was crap, but to be honest I didn’t really think that it would be anything more than that … it’s East Preston on a Wednesday morning FFS! LOL it didn’t matter either because Tuesday was such a superb day and I was floating on cloud nine because of the result I’d had the day before!

Anyway, today has been a fairly good … to brilliant … to not so good … to okay again kind of day!!

Clear as mud? It all started off really well – I got into work and sighed at the state of the stock room – it was such a pig sty in there and really needed sorting out. Terri was in and I knew she was just the girl I needed to get me organised!!! I completely re-organised the stock room so I can clearly see exactly what I have and what I need to make up for stock. It looks awesome in there now!! So that was the brilliant start …

The not so good part was an email from my landlord at work demanding money … but I am disputing part of the bill (charges for services I haven’t used) and they haven’t exactly been forthcoming with resolving the issues I had. I had a couple of hours this afternoon when I was getting all depressed because just as it all starts to run well again and I am making such headway into resolving my business problems … I’m faced with yet another kick!!

So anyway, I spoke to my solicitor again today to double check where I stood on some other questions I had and with his help, I’ve decided on a plan of action … again I can’t go into detail in a public post – well, not at this stage anyway, but when your solicitor turns around to you and says “you are being conned” then you know you are fighting a battle for good reason!!

… therefore the day turned into an okay again kind of one!

I am REALLY REALLY looking forward to tomorrow! I’m going over to Lou’s in the evening to take some pics of her daughter getting ready for her prom and then all dressed up in her finery! It’s also been way toooooooo long since Lou and I had a proper girlie chat that wasn’t squeezed into the 5 minutes we get when she pops in at work! I am so looking forward to it! A chance to relax and chat with my girlfriend and not have to worry about time or clock watching as I’m staying overnight. We’ll have the world put to rights by Saturday morning! LOL

It just gets better! (And quick moan about my period!)

What a fanfuckingtastic day!!

In chronological order of happening! …

1. My appointment with my solicitor went very well. I definitely have a case and that is what I wanted to hear – somebody with a legal background who can turn around and say HEY you can’t charge somebody for something that they haven’t received. It was a very positive appointment.

2. When I got back to the workshop, I got a call from the manager of a weekly market in town nearby that gets a LOT of passing traffic. It’s on a weekday but it is very popular and it’s a slot I desperately want! He called to say that there is space for me as a casual trader when I want it. It basically means that I need to turn up there at 7am in the morning and hope for a pitch with no guarantee of getting one, so sometimes I’ll end up coming straight back home again … but, once I’ve been as a casual for a few weeks, I will be able to sign on as a regular. This is massive! It will be like having a shopfront without having a shop! I need to do a fair bit of work before I can think about it – stock building and organising a decent display table (oh and getting the tables as I have to provide all of that) but it’s a very positive move forward!

3. I got all of the stock packed up for the market in East Preston tomorrow morning. I don’t feel like I have enough stock – but I *always* feel that and I *always* come home with plenty … so I’m happy about what I’ve got! Plus, the new shrink wrap packaging looks amazing

4. A cheque arrived for £192 and it was paid into the business account within two hours of opening the envelope! It’s all about cash flow right now and as long as the cash is a flowin’ I am a happy chick!

5. Orders are coming through the website again! It slowed up last week – but I put a lot of that down to it being the end of the month and Glastonbury being on as well could have had a LOT to do with it!!

6. Had a really nice chat on the phone with my mum this afternoon! We caught up on gossip and I told her about the weekly market … she has offered to have the children after school until their dad gets back from work – as long as it will fit in with her work hours!

I’m afraid to say it too loudly (touch wood) but … it all seems to be going okay right now! I know I have a LONG way to go and I’m still sinking right now, but I’m closer to “the light at the end of the tunnel” than I have ever been and it feels GOOD!

WARNING PERIOD TALK!!!
Okay time for the period talk! I didn’t have a period at all for a few months after Christmas, then a mega nasty heavy one – then two came 2 weeks apart! I worked out it’s been around 5-6 weeks since my last one and it’s worrying because my body seems to be so screwed at the moment. Trust me when I say there is absolutely ZERO chance I could be pregnant – bwahahaa (cobwebs is not the word!) it’s just that it feels so “unfemale” not to get my period every month!

So anyway, lack of period aside, the upshot is that it’s been a really really REALLY good day 🙂
