Phew!!


Hello to you all - how are you doing post World Cup? Are you over it yet? Up for a bit of Euro acti- what's that.......oh OK.......I shall move on ;oP

Anyone up for a bit of solid oak and pine action..... if you are you will have to hurry because we are selling out fast!!
Chandlers Ford A world of furniture has been open just 4 weeks now but it feels like its been an eternity - it's been soooo busy, with no advertising done it's all been about word of mouth and the rumour mill has been working wonders thus far, I cannot wait to see how it goes when we finally do unleash later in the year.
It has been hard work - people are still wary of spending at the mo and even more so with a shop that has only just started - but it is fun building a relationship with the customers, gaining their trust, getting to know them and what it is that they like in this area, making sure they know that we are not "here today and gone tomorrow".
Hats off to the new guys Ben and Charles who are getting to grips with it all and are doing fantastically well, they really have been given a baptism of fire over the last couple of weeks!

Baby news.......... its getting close now, for those of you that don't know my wife is now 33 weeks gone and all is well, we have no idea what it's going to be (although I know it's going to be a boy - obviously....) it is a magical thing, it did a massive kick the other day which freaked me out a little bit!! We have just been to a birthing class which although very informative my attention span is very short and I was soon giggling like an idiot at the slightest innuendo with much eye rolling from Judy - I don't know how she puts up with me!!
