Mmmm let me think. Well I've recorded Desperate Housewives so I can look forward to watching that. The new Bond film will eventually be released and I can't wait to see it. It's Salsa tonight...

Blogging Heaven

I've clocked up some serious hours this week working on my blogs and websites, my eyes are square, my head is throbbing and I have an annoying little knot in my left shoulder which I'm sure has been caused by keyboarditus.

Enough to drive you NUTS!

I can't stand seeing any more propaganda re Alzheimers. All this rubbish about if you keep your brain active, if you eat folic acid, if you ease up on the alcohol and stop smoking, ENOUGH!

Hubble Bubble Van & Trouble

There are those who might think I am a witch at times but some days I wish a was. I'd love to cast a spell across my van dashboard right now and make the flashing lights disappear but guess I'll have to stick to less mystical solutions!

Fordham Market Easter Monday is cancelled

Thankfully this is supposedly the last early Easter for sixty years. Four precious days without trade has left us cursing at this most holy of times but in truth I was much in need of a holiday.

Nightmare in Norfolk

Blog: The Myriad Life Market Blog
Posted by: Myriad Life Tuesday 18th March 2008, 8:45am

This week has become a nightmare, just when I thought things should get better they get worse. How much optimism is one person supposed to store in their tiny brain?

Trusty old van has to have a new alternator and the price quoted left me screaming at the Garage Man "NO, YOU HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN THAT!!"

I think he quoted the first price he found just to test how strong my heart is. Well Jim, it's not as strong as my Mother's so stop messing with it. More likely he was trying to test how strong my purse is, I think I left him in no doubt.

In addition to that he has to fit in the MOT sometime today which he has assured me is achievable. It better be, Sheringham Wednesday Market starts tomorrow.

Given the weather forecast for the weekend, bankruptcy beckons. Snow for goodness sakes, at EASTER.

A vote among the traders decided that there shall be no Friday market at Diss (needless to say I didn't vote for that foolish decision). So I get to miss a day trading there because they have moved the market to Thursday which clashes with my market at Fakenham. So I will be shivering at Fakenham that day by the sound of it.

I keep working on websites (www.sheringhammarket.blogspot.com and now www.fakenhammarket.blogspot.com ) in an attempt to promote our fine markets and the weather is determined to let us down.

When I started up my business I was ready for a challenge but little did I know how awsome it was to become. During the darkest of days I was always kept going by those successful business folk who recounted tales of their darkest days but kept going and were finally rewarded for their effort and endurance. Well six years later and I'm still striving with little to show for it! I'm not so sure that this effort = reward propaganda is true at all. Actually I know it isn't.

But still I keep going. Perhaps I need therapy.
