An update in the life of Funky Wood

I haven't had time to sit down lately, well actually I haven't had time to stand up! - been glued to my desk from morning till night, it's like slave labour only I'm my own slave driver. I've been researching other business ideas - don't tell Eddie! I just get bored after a while and Funky Wood is fantastic and all that, but you know there's so many opportunities out there.

Anyway, I haven't left Funky Wood or anything like that and in fact I've set ourselves some more goals. That will hopefully keep my interest going - at least until I can find someone to sneak into my shoes.

I've been working on stuff like accounts - man alive, how dull is that? What a painful experience! Hopefully I'll be able to get someone to take over the book-keeping soon so it can leave me alone. You'd think with my investment experience that I'd enjoy figures and I do, just that was painful. Anyway, I'm now onto our website, which I WILL get finished by Sunday night. After that it's plain sailing all the way. I'm even thinking of taking a week off at the end of July before we kick off our national sales campaign.

We got through to the regional finals of The Pitch 2010 at Edinburgh last week and were beaten by someone promoting swimwear for poorly people. She is doing a fantastic job and I hope she wins overall, she's such a lovely lady at Glitter Beach.

Eddie's working on some new fab designs, so he's happy in the workshop, doing designs and customer orders. Everything's ticking along nicely at the moment. Long may it last and please can we have some better weather???!
