Knowing that my alarm was set for 5am, I was ready to sleep at 9.30pm, which would give me 7.5 hours of sleep to help me power through a morning at the markets.
My brain decided that 12.30am was a much better time to fall asleep.
My brain also decided that 4am was a much better time to wake up.
So much for powering through the markets!
Between the three of us, we were all set up by 7am and Adoring Husband toddled off to get us some jumbo coffees.
I made a profit of $110.50, which is pretty good because I’m practically giving away old shop stock.
$23 wine glass coolers for $5.
$37 wine bottle coolers for $10.
$15 Snap jewellery for $5.
$6 snap buttons for $3 and $4.
$49 glass starfish for $10.
$40 travel journals for $10.
$109 handbag for $40.
$60 handbag for $20.
Oh and pre-loved clothing for $5.
Etc etc etc
It was a great day for reconnecting with old customers and with locals not seen for years, a lot asking if I’d consider opening another shop in town.
I’d love to, but the costs involved might be beyond my means. Rents have doubled, shipping costs have risen dramatically, stock prices have increased and I have very few shop fittings remaining in my possession.
At my age, I’m not sure that I can make that kind of financial, physical, mental and emotional commitment. As long as there are that many doubts, it’s probably not feasible.
We were home by midday, unpacked the cars, rehomed everything and parked our butts in the lounge room.
I dozed on and off all afternoon.
Prawn Laksa for ‘fend for yourself’ dinner.
It’s Super Saturday for NRL footy. I, along with everybody else, am doing poorly in the footy tipping.
Now I need to sleep.
Nite all.
