I've had the worst week ever, although last week we were in a minus, this week taken so far £40, pulling my hair out here, trying to keep a smile on my face but things are getting serious

£40 all week?

Or do you mean £40 over what you have spent on flowers?

Sorry, but we have zero work on any clips this week, have been round every funeral director, nothing doing, having to have a serious talk with hubbie about shops future next month. Have phoned around friends with other florists in same area, I'm not the only one, but things are dire

Well Elouise, if I take out what I spent on flowers on Tuesday, I'm on a minus already!!!!, haven't got any contract with funeral directors, as it's pretty sewn up here, bedding plants aren't selling in this awful weather, so I've got my mum in the shop today I've got people viewing our house today and cat has a vet appointment.

Sally we are also very quiet last week and this cut our fresh delivery almost in half have talked to friends in trade and they are all in the same boat which doesn't make us feel to bad but yes we are a new business and need to pick up soon

Dont panic just yet.

Its bound to catch up with itself. Most people will be on a minus for a couple of days at the beginning of the week, until it gets to thurs or so, then the profit starts to come in......hopefully

Thanks for trying to cheer me up girlies and Fly, feeling pretty down, ok shop is still fairyly new as bought it last August, with the house trying to sell and girlies having problems at school this seems to be the icing on the cake, well must get cat box out, otherwise sir will run away, have to put it in hallway 2 seconds before we leave, had to cancel last appointment as he did a runner
