Tue, Feb 21:12:41 7 GMT 30 http://my.greasy.com/tracy/2012_post_2.html Well after my first post I must say that my second is going to be a little bit happier. Yey! I have decided to employ two florists. The wage cost will be less than I was paying out on my last two staff members, and their hours of work will be made out to benefit me. (Big improvement there.) I have already asked one lady to start on Wednesday. I'm not looking forward to the awkwardness of the first few weeks though. I'm holding interviews for the second position on Saturday. http://my.greasy.com/tracy/2012_post_2.html#comments Sun, 8 Jan 2012 10:05:56 GMT http://my.greasy.com/tracy/2012.html So here is 2012 and here I am again feeling abused and let down. I have come to the conclusion that It is my fault. I should battle on alone, and not depend on anyone. That however is impossible. I cannot conduct my business successfully alone. Maybe it's time to pull my socks up, buy a power suit and be a bitch of a boss. It don't feel right, but at least I will be protecting myself. http://my.greasy.com/tracy/2012.html#comments Wed, 4 Jan 2012 21:59:00 GMT http://my.greasy.com/tracy/dear_john____.html Can't believe I'm writing this. You've messed with my head today babe. I'm a Florist. I deal with death every day of the year. We commiserate, we genuinely sympathize but at the end of the day, as shocked as we are , we stay detached. That is our method of coping. Otherwise we would be there with you, fighting for a spot in the Crem. I was not expecting to have your family - my dear friends in the shop today ordering your funeral flowers! I almost laughed out loud. WHAT!!!! John's dead? I ... http://my.greasy.com/tracy/dear_john____.html#comments Wed, 11 May 2011 23:12:18 GMT http://my.greasy.com/tracy/happy_2.html I cannot believe how good life has become. I can't remember when I felt this happy. Making friends and keeping them is not easy for me,but I now have a really good friend who wants the same from life as I do. We are going to have so much fun GETTING what we want into our lives and keeping it there. I am now also speaking to my Mum, Brother and sis in law. Which is also a massive happiness tonic. (I now feel Whole. If only my younger brother could forgive me.) Thanks to the arrival of my tw ... http://my.greasy.com/tracy/happy_2.html#comments Mon, 2 May 2011 10:47:57 GMT http://my.greasy.com/tracy/visualizing.html Well I am trying to concentrate on a plan that I have. It's not the way forward that I thought would happen next, but it could be a dream come true. This HAS got, to be meant to be! http://my.greasy.com/tracy/visualizing.html#comments Tue, 19 Apr 2011 19:36:51 GMT http://my.greasy.com/tracy/february_turns_march.html February turns into March, and it's all changed. Back to how things were in January, and the months before. Was it all a trick of my imagination? Does February hold a magical power that changes the highly improbable for twenty eight, or twenty nine days. Raising hope, churning up emotions, and leaving you looking at a glimpse of what could have been. Only to be savagely slayed by the mad March hares? Most probably. http://my.greasy.com/tracy/february_turns_march.html#comments Sun, 13 Mar 2011 18:57:43 GMT http://my.greasy.com/tracy/personal_developed_personal.html I have now finished designing my shop brand. I still need to get the printed ribbon, cards and sticky labels, but here's the picture so far. The ribbon bow I have designed is to be Navy blue with our pink and pale blue logo on it. The wrapping is to be Navy blue too. http://my.greasy.com/tracy/personal_developed_personal.html#comments Fri, 4 Mar 2011 16:53:48 GMT http://my.greasy.com/tracy/proud_mummy.html We had a ST. David's day concert at Alexander's school. They were all really great. Well done Clun Primary school. During the concert the children were being judged on various items of work the classes had done. Alexander came in first place for art out of the whole of years 1 and 2. Proud of you son. x There was also a very talented pianist performing. He was amazing for a 10 /11 year old. What a great way to start Dydd Dewi Sant. http://my.greasy.com/tracy/proud_mummy.html#comments Tue, 1 Mar 2011 14:34:50 GMT http://my.greasy.com/tracy/flowers_forever_now_1.html It's about time you were introduced to my shop. This picture shows the improvements I made to the frontage when I first started work here. The shop was dirty inside and out, and smelled of old flowers. There was empty cardboard boxes and uncleaned carpets everywhere. The flower stand was full of part filled vases, showing off half dead flowers. So Here is the outside. Here we see a nice display stand of "fresh" flowers. You can see I also got rid of the smelly carpets. Then came the car cr ... http://my.greasy.com/tracy/flowers_forever_now_1.html#comments Sun, 27 Feb 2011 12:25:09 GMT http://my.greasy.com/tracy/just_remember_announced_here.html Today I saw the shop that I will own in the future. I did not pass by it. I saw it in my mind, in a flash, after a conversation with a colleague about going back to the town I once traded in. The vision did not appear due to desire. It arrived as a fact. Not a question of want, but, "This one.This will be where you trade from, once again in Neath. Not now, but it will happen in time. No I'm not crazy, but I have reason to believe these premonition's. http://my.greasy.com/tracy/just_remember_announced_here.html#comments Fri, 25 Feb 2011 20:46:10 GMT http://my.greasy.com/tracy/day_off.html I'm having my first day off since Christmas. I have a coffee at hand, the kids upstairs, and the washing machine is humming quietly in the background, and I am blogging. This is the mood setting for my house today. The whole world can pass over my head, while I just get on with household chore's at a chilled, no hurry pace. http://my.greasy.com/tracy/day_off.html#comments Sun, 20 Feb 2011 10:25:54 GMT http://my.greasy.com/tracy/cheek.html A man phones up and asks the price of a dozeen red roses. Tell him £65.00 and £4.00 delivery to the city. He say's I'll pay you £10.00 delivery, if you do them today. He hangs up saying he's coming in a.s.a.p. He comes in with about 10 wraps of tesco finest roses, expecting us to deliver them. I laugh out loud, tell him no way. He argues the staff said they'd do it. Staff are stunned by the situation. We send the cheeky bugger packing. He comes back in asking us to just cellotape them t ... http://my.greasy.com/tracy/cheek.html#comments Tue, 15 Feb 2011 18:58:19 GMT http://my.greasy.com/tracy/gone_where.html Aaaaaaaaaargh just lost my post!

Spent most of it out on delivery. It's so nice taking a back seat, and leaving someone else arrange the flowers. http://my.greasy.com/tracy/thumbs_up.html#comments Fri, 11 Feb 2011 20:17:41 GMT http://my.greasy.com/tracy/1st_time_everything.html I employed a FLORIST!!!!!! Never done this before. It's been so strange to take a back seat on the makeup and design element of business. It's been nice to return home lively enough to do a jig saw with my son. You never know maybe I will find time to take him to Cubs or Scouts? Time for bed now.

Had a row with Richard's taxi driver. If he want's to start something, bring it on. I'm in the mood to KILL right now! Didn't know I could still feel so ready to rip someone apart. Thought those days in my life had gone. Now I need to focus that energy. http://my.greasy.com/tracy/great_start.html#comments Fri, 7 Jan 2011 09:52:39 GMT http://my.greasy.com/tracy/starting_feel_alot_christmas.html Christmas has crept up on me this year. Even though I started my shopping in September I'm still not finished and hardly packed a thing. As for food shopping, well, not as yet! I have decided not to panic about ANYTHING! So here I am wishing cyberspace a merry Christmas and happy new year. http://my.greasy.com/tracy/starting_feel_alot_christmas.html#comments Sun, 19 Dec 2010 13:01:22 GMT http://my.greasy.com/tracy/relaxing_morning.html No work today.
