Emails from a Frazzled Mum

After moving house and trying to get all the clothes online, I have realised that I desperately need the company of others.

So, after much soul searching and realisation that I need to have a business I am having another crack at a shop, however, it is not a retail outlet that I am after, they are way too formal so I am going to go into bulk wholesale and this should be a blast

Basically I am getting massive amounts of recycled clothes in wearable condition and selling them for $10/kg, I plan on getting a truck and eventually heading west, hiring public school halls and charging $10/kg to everyone to come and pick any clothes that they want

This seems like a fun thing to do which helps others and that is very important to me.

I have been running the website http://www.aussiekidsclothes.com.au/ for the last year and have actually had the shopfront running for 4 years and I just realised that even with the small amount of people coming in for a retail premises, at least I was still seeing people.

how weird is that? I am a glutton for punishment but i have to try one more time, I have realised that I really like working with the clothes and I think I need to help people, this is the way it will happen.

Thanks for listening and have a wonderful day

Just a quick one, last night Dreamer watched on while Amazon filled a draw from his bedside table with water, then a little friend of ours Abby peed in the draw, what the hell were they thinking?

I recently heard of a person who was betting on the Melbourne Cup via the phone and the TAB made a mistake and he netted over 2 million Dollars, while this is a yay for him, how much has he gambled over the years and will it go to anything productive or will he then fritter it away doing more gambling?

Financial woes tear at the fabric of nearly every relationship, I recently picked up Dreamer and his friends from school and was privvy to a conversation held in the backseat by the three amigo’s

Mel : Guys, you are too loud, would your parents like it if you fought like this?

Josh: My parents fight all the time

Bri : yeah, mine do too, I hate it when they yell at each other, and its *ALWAYS* about money

Josh: mine too!!, I take Miles into his bedroom and play with him when they start yelling

Dreamer : My parents get really angry and growl then don’t talk to each other for a bit

Josh: Melinda, why do you fight about money?

Mel : Usually, we argue over a lack of discipline with getting it, saving it and spending it.

Bri : That sounds easy, it’s only 3 things, cant parents do three things together?

…. I so wish we could

just something to think about, they are listening and they know what upsets us, should we talk to kids about the money worries of a home?

any thoughts?

Be Well

Luv Mel

so, In the last months since I have gotten in and put…ooh…. ANYTHING on this blog, we have moved to a house, Dreamer has moved schools, Amazon has grown up to be a big girl of 3 and I am just going nuts, Amazingly we are still talking to each other because I frequently want to kill one or all of them (in spectacular ways, like flinging them into the air with a catapult high enough so that they get caught in the lower stratosphere cross winds and end up in europe).

“sigh” I have really been quite ill of late with a general malaise after a little blood poisoning and have not been being able to proceed with orders or deliver purchases from ebay, and as such have heartily pissed off a whole bunch of people… yay me

When we moved I thought, thats it!!! no more clothes, I will go out and get a real job, sadly, working for myself has made me not as saleable as I thought, apparently because I have raised 2 kids and run a small business I am not a dedicated enough worker…. scheeech!!

well. lots more to do, we moved in in July and we are still ass deep in crap, I think it is time to beg a favour from a friend who has a trailer.

gotta go peace love and mung beans baby
