… or in Josie world, it was Jan who was kissing him.
and shortly after, Jonathan came along and knocked him down.
Oh how i laughed 😆 (But then stood on Alison!)
And this is my living room.
I think we might have to move.
Max did double the RAM in my laptop though, which means it has now recovered itself to a point where i can actually use it. Wonder if he could do that with my head… i think i need a duo core processor in my brain….
Claire says
pmsl @ Josie! Love the open stock next to it too – and as for those boxes – arrrggghhhh
Claire says
Oh and ps – that order with the HappyMais – I think it might need a bigger box….
merry says
You telling me how to do my job???!?!!?!?!? 😉
Claire says
Well yeah!
merry says
Oh… go do your files…. Or play with your babylegs or something! 😉
Claire says
LOL – bit late for files and I’ve played with my babylegs already – neatly put in stock room and I’ve sold 3 pairs as well.
Sarah says
That really is very scary, you only just moved house!!
Chris says
Blinking heck……a sign of success but gulp.
What impact does it have on your home insurance out of interest?
HelenHaricot says
i think you need to knock through into garage and turn that into a stock room.
hands up how many eople wish they had thought of selling beads 3 years ago?
Chris says
Knocking in to the garage would need planning permission…..actually running any business from home can need planning permission. I think it’s great that you are now doing a business plan etc because the huge success takes you onto another level in terms of legal issues, VAT, planning permission, employer’s insurance etc etc…..
What I find amazing and is a great credit to Merry is that the niche she created remains hers. If there are that many customers around for beads you would have expected the supply market to have expanded. Presumably it has to a degree but Merry’s service/expertise keeps people coming back for more.
merry says
House insurance is fine, we had to check before we moved here and so long as i have extra insurance, we are covered. I have £2million of public liability insurance, among other things now.
House is okay too so long as the outside isn’t altered or showing signs of containing a business.
Seeing the first of a string of accountants this weekend and just printed the VAT form.
Chris, i’m positively glowing at the praise there!
Chris says
……actually you can need planning permission if your home based business generates additional traffic to your home, such as deliveries, postal vans….. I can’t imagine it would really matter but worth bearing in mind as on current rates of growth you will be turning over 10k a day next December.
merry says
lol – if we are doing that, we’ll be living in mid devon by then! 😉
(I know, i know…. and thank you for taking the interest, i appreciate it!)
Carol says
wow, I am very impressed!
Allie says
I can see myself in a few years:
‘Oh yes, Merry, the Hama Bead tycoon, yes, I used to read her blog way back, before she bought that island.’
