So I started to write my blog as basically a little reminder to myself as to how thing were going and I feel I should give a one year update.. as to my thoughts and hopes for the future.

9 months and its xmas

Posted 21-12-08 at 05:50 PM by Cait

(9 months in business ) In November I started to got a little worried as things were pretty slow.. I covered my costs and although it wasnt my worst month to date.. my average turnover did fall about 20% and then I started reading forums about credit crunches and how a lot of people already had advanced bookings to Xmas and got a little scared, I'd invested a lot into the business and it was going well but I knew only too well that being new kid on the block was not going to be an advantage , however...

Hi all

Four months in business and heres my update

Posted 31-07-08 at 04:24 PM by Cait

Well its been a journey but after 4 months I now feel like I have completely settled in and have started to regain some normalacy again in my life. I mean actually getting home is an achievement in itself! lol! But I am starting to cook again .. my poor husband... and well I am trying to be able to have friends around for dinner again.. slowly but surely. Im still very broke but in two months Ill begin to take 40% commission from each treatment (Nett) as a wage and hopefully the business will support...

Almost 10 weeks in.. a little update

Posted 04-06-08 at 09:34 PM by Cait

I dont know if anyone is actually interested but I decided to write my blog in the first place to jot down my journey and then update it every month or so.. if only for me to remember the journey itself but anyways if there is anything I am doing that may motivate anyone to start up on their own well then its a good thing.

So far, so fantastic, is all I can say I really have not looked back .. the stars are certainly moving with me right now and I am beginning to worry about when will...
