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.

Little by Little, the bird learn to fly - Purge Update

The message of the Week Petit a Petit, L'Oiseau apprend a voler Little by Little, the bird learn to fly What went well this week? I sold 9 items. I relisted 124 items which are for grab NOW I reorganised my inventory at home so everything I am currently selling is in a wardrobe, ready to grab. I also brought together the items I am planning to photograph and sell next month. I tried to put a card in all my parcels. What are you thinking to improve? I am thinking to improve the message on the card At the moment, it is just ''Thank you for your order it is greatly appreciated''  Now I am thinking to write, ''Thank you for your order this week, it caused me to realise how much I love selling on eBay, packing the item and sending it knowing that someone somewhere is going to make use of it. As a result, I am going to post even more items in my shop. Keep on watching my evolution! Thanks again.'' For the drawing, I make little ...

Fashionably Compassionate Romantic - Fight against the elements and fracking

2pm - Leicester City Centre - Highcross - Saturday - It is a bit windy - I am wearing a hat, a coat, a scarve, a jean and some proper shoes. I am going to spend the next three hours outside, I better be warm. I am fighting against the elements and for a frack free world. I am with Friends of the Earth in front of Barclays with a stand. Our banner says 'Frack Free Leicestershire Network. Our main purpose is to raise awareness on fracking, Barclays investment in a company planning to frack beautiful Ryedale in North Yorkshire and the other plan possibly being drawn for Leicestershire. I have a clip board in my hand to get passers to sign a petition to halt fracking in the UK. I am in good spirit. They will understand. I notice that my dress code is at odd with saturday afternoon shopping spree. Most people wear a t-shirt, light jumper, jean or skirts, lipsticks and eyeshadows. The dress code has a purpose, they will be in and out of shops. They do not need to stand outside for lo...

Cash in Cash out

The analysis of my bank statement made me see how much I am taking out from the bank in cash but did not tell me exactly on what I was spending all of it in. So with my lovely spreadsheet, I have tracked over a month period, how much I was spending in cash and on what. Good News Or Bad News?  £363.59. It is approximately 25% of what I receive per month more or less.  No surprise I was not surprised with the money I spent on outings because it was all planned for and I actually spent less than expected. Food was almost the budget I planned for the month £50. Cash for my personal development was also planned for which is good... However It could have been a lot less... If only I - did not have lost my bus pass £60 BOOM - used other buses than the one I purchased my pass from because I missed the last one >> £7.1 - did not have bought too many take away, chocolate bar and pastry > £30 It would have been about 265.9 For the lost bus pass, tough I guess... but the war agai...
