It’s been a funny start to the week. With Monday being a Bank Holiday, I had yesterday off and will be having tomorrow off as usual.
I really should work harder.
We had a lot of parcels, several vexatious enquiries and some things to put on eBay. We now have 1,200 items in our eBay shop, compared to around 600 a year ago so things are going well.
We also had some good sales today, including a sovereign before we were officially open. People seem to be buying sovereigns at the moment – it’s probably something to do with worries over the breakdown of society after we leave the EU.
I put some sweetheart brooches, some Masonic bits and a cap badge on this afternoon. It’s not as worthwhile as ending world hunger, but it pays a few bills.

“What, Me Worry?” is the slogan of my hero, Alfred E Neuman
I’m afraid I had to look him up – I knew the face but never knew he had a name. It’s a good motto.
As a long-time worrier, I know the feeling! Lovely sweetheart broach.
One of them sold overnight – I just checked.
I can see why. They are lovely.
One day I will show you some from my collection. I warn you, I can be very boring…
Why worry about leaving the EU? – none of us will be around when it eventually happens
🙂 Some people worry about all sorts of things. I could write an entire post about worriers…
🙂 Would I be in it? would I? eh?
