Hi guys, Well a lot has happened since I was on last year, business wise nothing. But the house renovation has come to a complete halt, because we are moving in June to my Mums house (mum and dad are going to kazahkstan for 1 year). The house we were renovating is also theirs, they are going to paint it and rent it out, so no point in continuing our changes. But when Mum comes back to her house she just may find a few changes in it. ( Brave I know). I did tell her that I would not be moving out of it if I move in. They will move back into the house I am in now and do the renovation then. But by moving into my Mums house I get a new kitchen with soft closing everything and caesarstone tops and new stainless steel appliances. Also brand new bathrooms and a renovated laundry. I am going to modernise the rest with a bit of new paint and window furnishings. ( She can't hate, can she???) LOL. So sorry about just not turning up for a while, did not think I would be missed... As for my business, well what can I say it is not getting anywhere... I am researching another business idea with a friend, collecting and recycling "one off " pieces that we believe will sell and selling them. We will be doing a bit of fixing up and re upholtery. will definitely let you know when that is up and running. But I am back now and looking forward to helping with advice and answering and questions and maybe even helping people source special pieces... this is what I love doing.

You unfortunately started at a bad time, near Christmas, and now with how things are in the work place, lots of spending has slowed down. I’m very quiet, but I also haven’t been out there looking for it at the moment, too much going on.
US decorators, for some reason…..are feared! I have found the majority of people think we will come into the personal space and take over their homes! Not sure about other decorators, but I know I don’t work like that. This is something we have to get passed. Anyway, at least you haven’t given up, and the furniture idea is a good one! Good luck with it.

But as I said if there is anyone out there looking for something in particular just Holla!! and i will do my best to find it.

I also think that they were going to use Malcolm if I was a boy. So it was a mix of things. It does not work when you are a kid and cant get stickers, mugs, anything with your name on it. Now you can put anything on all sorts of things easily.

Now you can put anything on all sorts of things easily. I can sooo relate to this. My name is Meagan, with the extra 'a' and there was nothing with my name on it. Now I've discovered vistaprint and I have lots of things with my name on it! Re: wheres MaleenaH? 12Feb 16, 2009 8:36 pm so much easier for the kids now that have weird spelt names...
i will have to get myself a mug..
