Had a great week this week. Things have finally been moving at a faster pace which is great. Our internet connection is finally working after much much nagging at talk talk. Having a connection in our office makes things so much easier because everything is just in one place. Plus my new laptop arrived which we got free from talk talk today but it didnt come til 5pm so I didnt really have time to set it up before I came home, its looks great though.
Our website is also now up and running properly with some products on. Putting the products on is such a big job but I have spent most of the week doing it.I have also put a lot on ebay which has taken some time but we have sold a lot on ebay already which Im so excited about. The most popular items are our childrens themed fish tanks (mermaid, alien and dragon) and the habitrail ovo hamster cages, we have posted soooo many of them this week. Another really popular thing is XL slicker brushes for dogs - a bit random but for some reason we sold like 5 in 2 days.
So once everything is up and its all linked up we can start rolling. Now the phone line is working we are getting out flyers and business cards printed with our phone number etc. One thing I am struggling to source at the moment is sawdust and hay etc. They dont sell it at our warehouse and the other stockists I have rung have ridiculous minimum orders, like one guy said I had to order at least 10 tonnes of sawdust which is 400 bales!! Where the hell am I going to put all that?
In other news, I am off to a very boring 80th birthday meal tomorrow lol. Its all paid for though so cant complain too much. I have a rabbit and turtle cleaning out day tomorrow too - fun!
Aww and Ric's new little puppy is just the cutest thing ever! I slept at his last night and was playing with the puppy all night. He's sooo good and never piddles in the house, he loves playing tug with his toys but he's teething at the moment so he likes to bite your hands, which actually hurts. He went to the vets today though to have the snip to stop him humping their other dog lol, he's apparently feeling very sorry for himself now though.
We also booked another trip to centre parks for january which i am so so excited about. We decided to treat some people for xmas so me and ric have paid for an 8 person lodge for me, ric, ric's mum, ric's step dad, ric's sister and her boyfriend, my mum and dave. My dad cant come because he cant get any time off in january which is a real shame but we are having a relaxing week in the spa and stuff so its not really his things anyway. It did cost us a fair bit but its worth it cos it will be so much fun. I only need to buy pressies for my dad, my brother, my grandad now hehe.
Christmas is going to come round so quick, I'm half excited and have worried cos I know work will be busy up to xmas and its hard working packing everything up and sending it the right place, it was hard enough doing 6 parcels in one go yesterday hehe. But it will be good because we have loads of good ideas for xmas promotions. If you get chance check out our funky website www.bobtailpets.co.uk.....
