I am trying to keep positive but it has been a really quiet couple of weeks – I don’t want to sound negative but sometimes the reality has to be told.
I have invoices to pay and little money coming in! It is really difficult firefighting people who I WANT to pay! If only I could win the lottery….
I have been in Emsworth for 8 years and we have survived some turbulent times – I am not ready to throw in the towel just yet but I have been considering what I might do, shoud the shop not survive. I am running out of ideas and not enjoying feeling freftul about the situation – it would only take a couple of good weeks takings and I would be back on my feet but I just don’t know if and when that will happen.
Running a small business is so difficult – fabulous during good times and so rewarding and I love helping people, but this side of it is so disheartening.
Emsworth is losing PO10 and the Wine Merchant, which is so sad and unfortunately a sign of the times.
Anyway, I will continue to work on the good nature of my landlord and suppliers and hope that the coming weeks will improve – more good weather will help of course.
KC is on holiday getting some sun – lucky thing, so I will be working Monday – Thursday for the next two weeks. I know that Karen is taking this little top on holiday with her and it will be just perfect for evenings out in Majorca!
Until next week, take care of each other and be kind.
