Well, it’s only a few weeks since we retired from the shop but we seem to be settling into semi-retirement very well. It’s quite reassuring to know that we’ve still got the option of top-up income by selling online and we’re grateful to our existing suppliers that we can still sell their products.
It’s a Dog’s Life
Since we left the shop, we’ve done more driving round the UK than we’d been able to do for ages. For instance, we visited Derby to help a family member with some work – before, we wouldn’t have been able to just up sticks and go to help within 24 hours! We’ve also been to a family wedding in Stonehaven, met up with more family for a Sunday lunch in Callander and enjoyed a night out to see the Bard in the Botanics in Glasgow’s Botanic Gardens. OK, I confess, I’ve always got itchy feet and, while we’re both fit enough to travel, I think we’re going to enjoy every minute of it.
That means that the rest of our time, we have to concentrate on making the internet work for us! Ok, what I really mean is that I sometimes have to drag myself screaming to the computer to list inventory and perhaps take some product photos. The reward of doing that, though, is that we’re getting through the ends of lines we didn’t sell in our last few days and we’re taking the opportunity to assess what is easy to sell and post as well as deciding on potential new ranges of products to sell on the internet.
