Always Expect the Unexpected - Purge Update


Message of the week

Always Expect the Unexpected

What happens this week with the Purge?

  1. I sold a lip butter set, a suit and a skirt.
  2. I received a bid on a T-shirt, a trouser and a dress.
  3. I received a warm message from Jill, owner of MeganMakesGood about the shop. She found my blog through my FB. It warmed my heart. First, because it is nice to receive some feedback from you do, Two, I did not know anyone would read about what I do on FB.
  4. I packed my good and made on more cyclop card for it and went to the shop.
  5. I spoke with my friend designer Zosia about developing the visual design of the shop
  6. I received a message about purchasing one of my dress and send it to Mauritius - Oulala I smiled, can you imagine me selling a £1 dress and send it to Mauritius...
  7. Total sale this week: £19
  8. Number of Visits on Blog: (I Don't Know) The total page view of the blog is 12,747


What am I going to Improve on?

  • How can I organise my packaging better?
    • Create a space in the office for packaging
    • Cut off plastic bags for reuse
  • How can I promote the shop better and be more confident about it?
    • Share the message with other about the shop. I am still a bit shy to actually share it to people around me. 
    • Write up a script to let people know about the shop so I can feel more comfortable
    • First fill up the different platforms with your goodies and then start talking about it with people once you are ready
    • Reconvert Ms.Cyclop to be the shop?!?
  • What can I share with people that are valuable?
    • I was thinking to write a book and sell it. I came across the owner of Electric Kitty who wrote a beautiful children book about child bereavement. It is such an important message to share.
    • The other thing I was thinking was to share plants. I can easily grow them...I can easily share them. 
  • When do you start taking a beautiful pic of you and your stuff
    • M and I we have been discussing taking nice pictures of the item I want to share with people. He is a great photographer and I would like to look like Beyonce... 
  • Who would you like to collaborate with and what would it look like?
    • I really want to. I was thinking to create a small community of people who help each other with swapping 1 hour a week of time to promote each other shop... Let's see who I could talk to.
  • What do you want to do about creating the visual of your shop
    • I am still thinking. I am thinking though to maybe start first with filling all platform with the good I want to share and then if I have more money coming in, I can start talking with Z about making my shop better. 
  • What do you want to do about the blog?
    • I am still figuring it out. At the moment, it is just for me to keep a track record of what happens week to week. Eventually, it will be nice to write proper articles about sharing and caring about one another and everything that there is around us. 
    • I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Maybe once I have filled all the different platform with the things I want to share. I can go back to the blog and figure out what exactly I want to write about.
    • Something unexpected is going to come and I will figure exactly what I want to write about on this blog.

What are you grateful for?
The gift and surprises I receive everyday.

Horrid Airbnb Experience - Part 6

In part 5, M. confront B. who is half of the man we first met. He cries and he is ashamed of himself. He promises he won't drink no more. We decide to keep him one more night and to help him with his car the following day. The night comes. M. is called to visit his sister. I decide to go with him reluctantly.  As M. and I come out of the house. B. comes down the stairs and said that he is going for a walk. I do not trust him. M. said to me to not worry that he talked to him and everything will be fine. We arrive in front of her sister house. I decide to go back to the house as I am not feeling well. I go back to the house. No one yet. I can hear the clickety of the keys in the door. I decide to open it because I know B. is back. He looks at me, scared. In his a Tesco bag with a pack of 10 Stella Artois. I am horrified. I decide not to confront him. He goes upstairs to the bedroom. I call M.: ''Come back to the house NOW''

When it is good...

When it is good, it is so so good. You are in nirvana as you live for a second or two right now. And then before you know it, It's gone. Accept it. Do not look back. I can't promise that they will be some more enlightenment tomorrow. Yet if you start dancing and smiling, it will be so so good.

Home Energy, Footpaths Challenge - Monitoring Energy Consumption

According to the Energy Saving Trust you could find that your energy usage drops by between  five and 15%  in the first year of using an energy monitor, which could be a saving of £25 to £75 on a £500 bill. I am following the homework of the Footpaths book as promised in previous post ( here ).  I set myself to read my meters every week to monitor my energy consumption. It is tedious.  I tried twice to make it an habit. I fell miserably. Reading is not really the issue but accessing the meter might be the issue. I better put my shoes elsewhere and learn to squat.  I recognise that for changing you have to recognise first your pattern of behaviour.  The truth of the matter is that I do not know exactly how bad we behave in our household. Badly, most probably.  Example - I spent most of the day in my warm gown with a hat on. The heaters  were off. Then family came back home in the evening. I went to the kitchen to cook. I came out of the kitchen, go...
