What a time to do that! Fortunately I'm still working full time as a teacher so I have an income (of sorts). However, that means I'm pretty full on! I'm supporting British suppliers and trying to market locally. I'm finding it very tough going at the moment and am glad that sites like this exist so that a) I can learn more about my business and how to make it a success and b) to join this movement and support British retail - it's so important.</p><p>I'm hoping that if I can ride out this economic storm, Blue Dog will be a success.</p>bluedogsmumTue, 20 Jan 2009 05:54:33 -0000
