It's over!

Not life as we knw it, or anything so melodramatic, but 2 very important events have passed...
1: My 1st online self assessment tax return is in! And
2: My 1st ever sale is over!

I promise, in front of millions of blog readers (well, all 2 of you anyway :) ) that I will never again leave it till the last week. I'm not promising to get it in early, or even in plenty of time, but I will leave enough time to have a few problems, get answers, try them out, get more answers, try them out, get more answers, try them out, and then figure it out myself without developing an ulcer. I certainly do not want to be sitting in front of my computer at 23:15, 45 minutes before the extended deadline screaming "why won't you go through! Go though, or don't go through, just don't show me a white screen and a busy sign for forty minutes when I don't have forty minutes! Arrrggghhh! Please, please, pease..." pause for sobbing.... thankfully I didn't wake up J, or he may have been perplexed to find his mummy sobbing and hugging the monitor.

And the sale was quite a success, I was mildly pleased with it. Here's to people coming back without the sale prices tempting them in! The lesson I learned through the sale was to work out the numbers for every product, as I managed to sell quite a bit of one product that barely scraped even after all the postages were factored in. Also, not to assume things will sell just because they are at a good price. It seems counter-intuitive, but I am coming to the conclusion that there's just some products that I cannot give away.

I blame ebay.

And I love ebay.

It depends on whether I'm buying or selling, really.
