    Do or Die

    Thanks for the last 3 posts, i was just thinking out loud really, with what i would like to happen, but to be honest i don't think it will. I can't face the thought of shelling out more money (which i don't have), for something which may or may not be better? These last 2 months really have...

    Do or Die

    Yes, thanks, i know it's all extra cost. we were vat registered a couple of years ago,when things were going better, but i was just on the flat rate scheme, whereby i paid 5% of my takings which was easy enough, but would (hopefully) take too much to qualify for that this time. God, im backing...

    Do or Die

    Yeah had thought of this one thanks, might have someone in mind, but its always a case of trusting someone & them not doing a moonlight flit if its not working out?? Am trying to talk a friend into doing childrens wear, but how bad would i feel if it went belly up!

    Do or Die

    Its 4K a year, which is nothing i know, but somedays we're lucky to take £20!! In fact 2 days in jan (SNOW!!) we took £1.75 & it cost me £90 in wages!

    What NOT to do...

    Oh yeah that was it deniser, you mention bluewater, but obviously there is a hell of a lot of competition there for peoples limited amounts of money.

(all either smaller for more money or need a hell of a lot of work...

    Do or Die

    Well done, i knew someone would pick up on the fact that the previous clothing business in there has closed. They were selling ex high street clothing, ex M & S, Wallis, Next etc, did really well to start with, but as the recession hit, these big stores started cutting back on waste so there...
