Wtf is wrong with my face? man, I need a haircut also! (made this video yesterday!)

OK, it’s all moving along now and the ball is rolling. I’ve emailed Waltham Cross Pavilion, the shopping centre that I wish to do my first weeks trading at. It’s not the best centre in the world, but it’s not the worst.

Actually, with the amount of teenage pregnancies in area, business should be awesome.

Hopefully I’ll get a reply today and get some space booked, give myself a hard deadline, there are no more bottle necks, no waiting for anyone else, it’s all down to me to get the last few million odds and ends done.

Other Stuff:
I’ve changed the layout of this blog, on the right hand side more pages will start to show now. I plan on writing and videoing about my marketing ideas for PhotoNOW! and my other business ideas in general.

Woot, found a place that can cut and deliver my wood, the price is pretty good, only £29.50 + VAT per panel/sheet @ 1.5×1.8 and £50.00 + VAT for delivery, I’ll be placing my order tomorrow.

Many thanks to Tom Wright @ Wrights Carpentry for his help.

I’ve been slightly slacking the last few days as I wait for equipment to arrive, today has been very much the same, however I did make a very basic ledger in Excel to keep track of my money when I start to trade. It can be seen here.

It’s very, very basic. If anyone is any good at Excel formulas don’t hesitate to give me a shout!

For the first month or so of trading this will do, because I’ll be under the limit before I need to start paying tax (Currently sat at £6,035 per year) after the first month I plan to reg myself as a private limited company and get myself an accountant (If it fits in with the budget and my takings are O.K, if things are really good I may even get SAGE)

Quick update:

Completed receipt database, click the thumbnail for a preview of what it will look like.

I also wrote the parental waiver which people will need to sign before allowing me to take photos, can’t be dealing with any smart asses thinking they can sue me for a quick buck.
