Had the privelage of the echo editor and photograph coming to interview me on Monday to write an article for " The firm of the Week". A little bit of background info on how and why I opened the shop.
More embarrassing photos taken of me precariously leaning agianst rails and stands trying to look relaxed when all I could think about was the squiff hangers behind me, after the bridal fayre I had done the night before at the Hillcrest Hotel ( Hello to you!).
Well, its all in this mondays echo (30th) so have ganders and a giggle.
Also, have a look at us in this weeks "Live" magazine photo shoot

Friday 13th whoooooaaa..... scarey!
Bridal season has arrived! All the lovely brides to-be with mum, sisters, aunties, future in-laws and some what embarrassed dads, have begun to descend on the shop checking out what is available and how much it will set them back.
A great laugh, a really nice family, with one dad who had the excrutiating misfortune of trawling through every catalogue with his over zealious daughter and wife, choosing a thong or brief for the big day was an all too familiar sight.
As his daughter was expecting him to discreetly look away (at what prompt I do not know). His wife was demanding he engaged in the sale so as to look interested and OK the prices. I felt so sorry for him, but the more I prattled on the more embarrassed he got. I offered a change of seats so he could read the newspapers, which he greatly appreciated.
Mother almost shed tears of joy seeing her daughter in a beautiful basque, so everyone was happy: and poor old dad just about survived with one layer of skin left on his turkey cock red face...how sweet!
Poor man...Sadly he is the just one in a long line of unsuspecting supportive fathers!
More info - finalising the draft for e-commerce to buy on line which will be coming soon... keep you posted on that one!

Happy New Year!! Hope you all had a great time...
Friday morning the usual disaster struck when I couldn't find my keys to the shop again and had to call a locksmith to break into the roller shutters. On hearing the quote of over £100 I nearly collapsed and decided to carry on looking eventhough I had a rep standing outside the shop waiting for me.
After nearly bursting into tears with frustration...low and behold the keys were in a new safe place I had forgotten about!
Had a few lovely new customers this week all wearing the wrong size, but with a bit of T L C from Liaisons they are now loving their womanly shape.
Check out our sale rails to pick up the bargains!

Not much to say this week as we have been busy busy busy... Nearly ran out of boxes and had to arrange what potentially looked like a dodgy deal on the M62 junction 9 layby to meet my box delivery guy who has actually finished work for Christmas but agreed to meet me half way!
Late night shopping on thursday evenings has been a great success with all the nervous first time lingerie shoppers and busy bees who enjoy last minute prezzies!
Anyway have a fantastic Christmas all you lovely people and have a great new year.

Well, what can I say apologies for delays in our goss, probs with the updating software.
Enjoyed more embarassing moments this week when Louis Hurst and the breakfast portion from Juice FM recorded there shopping experiences which was aired last thursday! I know alot of you heard the interview and took great pleasure in commenting on my radio voice... ugggh!
December 1st 2005
Firstly may I begin with salutations for December, even though I know its a bit early, but thats retail for you! I started the Christmas window display but could not bring myself before the 12th to finish, so it looks rather abstract at the moment.
Many of you may have already seen the article in "Your Move" magazine at the potters wheel! As a cross advertisement project it has been successful if only for loyal customers to ridicule my pose in the chair.
Got to choose new carpet for the fitting area this week.... can t decide on red again or chocolate brown. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
