Its not long now until the 14th of February and of course the huge mountain of cards coming through the door. Ahhh. those were the days... Have you thought about making your own card out of recycled paper or opt for an eco gift like the recycled jewellery and cuff links from Green Eyed Frog.
I've just started a certified (Open College Network) business course just for women, the first in Suffolk, run by WEETU (Womens Employment and Training Unit) and funded by the European Development Agency (EEDA). Its going really well and is designed for women who want to start up in business especially those who have families. I've met a really great bunch of women on the course and we are learning so much by talking to each other and sharing experiences.
The course is fully funded and includes childcare expenses for under 5's which is ideal for me. If you are a woman and thinking of setting up your own business I would recommend finding out if this program is in your area.
Next week we start the marketing session so I'm hoping to pick up some handy hints for Green Eyed Frog and Royal Cottage.
In the Green Eyed Frog household we all try to be a little bit greener each year. This year we have decided to grow more veg and fruit in the garden, make more jams & pickle and do more batch baking/cooking for the freezer.
Personally I am really going to try and buy all my clothes secondhand. I used to get quite a lot from ebay but prefer to see what I'm buying so now that my youngest child is at pre-school a couple of mornings a week I can take the opportunity to do a bit of retail therapy. Should really be working on these precious mornings but rewards are just as good!
Did you know that the Sue Ryder Shops do loyalty cards with discounts and money off so thats my first stop. There are some really first class charity shops round here with good quality clothes with a far better choice than the high street stores. So why not give it a go...
Check out our January Sale which starts today 1st January and ends 31st. Lots of bargains on bedlinen plus gifts for all the family.
