The 'What Are You Doing?' thread

Thanks mate, me too. As said, groundwork is all done. Just need to save up a little cash and go with it. Will do it on the side, will still work my current job too.

You'd be correct Debs! Have some lovely glassware picked out, did some tests in very small glasses first, and I know what I need to tweak. Genuinely excited about doing it, even though it's something new.

Have a look at my SiL's website mate, you might pick up some ideas.

They look very good! Was thinking of the teacup idea also, but I think I'm gonna go with jars first and then work my way into tarts and then maybe in to more speciality items such as teacups.

How long did it take her to get off the ground running?

She started as a hobby for family and friends maybe 3 years ago mate and it's just progressed from that really.  She's added the website, twitter and facebook pages about 18mths ago but last time I spoke to her about it she wasn't on a search engine for the website, so you had to know the web address to find it, which was a bit daft but maybe the cost outweighed the income at the time.

I'll be seeing her at Christmas so I'll ask how she's getting on now.

Let me know, am quite interested. If I do go all out I'll be making sure I'm discoverable but I reckon a lot of self promotion needs to be done though in person.

Will do mate.

Settling down ready for a whole day of sport. 

Watching F1, 3rd practice followed by Huddlesfield v Sheffield Wednesday, followed by F1 qualifying, followed by Arsenal v Scum, followed by a night of boxing 

Still doing all the groundwork for this business idea! Finding that the hardest thing is getting my design stuff done, such as labels or tags. Think I'm going to go with something like these with my glassware, but customised. Nice wooden hang tags, which will have the company name, scent etc. on it.

Nice one IO, they look good mate. You could also do them in leather, would make great key rings.

That's a good idea that too!

Was looking today at maybe a box to put them in for gifts. Will post samples when I'm home from work. They look really nice .

So, I booked my flights over for the Arsenal game!

Stressing out, I've got an interview for Sainsburys tomorrow to work in their cafe as a temp till January, but I am terrible with interviews, they have always terrified me. But at least if I get it I'll be getting some extra money instead of the voluntary work I've been doing for my universal credit and hopefully could lead to permanent work.

Good luck mate, just be yourself and you'll be fine.

With added pints.

That's a good idea that too!

These are the one's I'm looking at - prefer the black one.







Prefer the black one I think.....


In any case, making Patchouli scented candles today.

Good luck mate, just be yourself and you'll be fine.

Thank you! It went great and they offered me the job! I have my induction on Thursday then start on Saturday! 
It's only 24 hours a week but that is double what I was expecting so will do me nicely! 

Drinking with strangers who, by the end of the night, will be friends.  On a by-the-by,  anyone got a spare for Burnley?

Attempting to do some wrapping of presents but got a bottle of Whiskey looking at me so it's more likely I'll be badly doing another kind of rapping instead.

Having xmas eve buffet sat in favourite chair drinking red wine ( old b***ard ) on iPad whilst girls watching the Santa clause the movie.

I had one looking at me as well, so I started a fight with it.
The whiskey is winning.

I'm locked in a room trying to avoid relatives over from Ireland.
My brother wants me to take him down the golf club again, but last time I did that he got pissed, tried to chat up the barmaid, called the chairman a stuffy auld c**t, and started singing rebel songs.
