Christmas Short story

So I'm still not dead.  Admittedly I have drifted away from blogger.  It hasn't been deliberate, it just seems energy consuming.  At the moment all my energy is being devoted to living, job hunting, and reviving my literary non-talent.  The result of this is several stories in the works and my first complete short story about a chance meeting: Cherished Smile.  Its nothing fabulous - it simply represents a practice at writing short works.  There will be sequel to it for those interest and actually romantically inclined - but I may leave that for next year!

I warn you though, it's dialogue heavy as my production stages actually involved the scripting of dialogue.  It would have been a nightmare if only one character was involved.

I'm back in business!

I took a break from sales for a full-time job, nom I'm back with my latest creation: Vanilla and ginger soap.  Isn't it pretty. It has a lusciously vanillary scent with ginger undertones. It can be found here with other items

Orange smoothie soap

Hey hey, it's been awhile since I last posted. I have been on a break while I completed my issue rotation and moved house. It's been a busy fortnight.  My last post showed the first stage of my orange, milk soap experiment.  Here's the final product -

Isn't it pretty?? Having read my last post I realised I made a mistake - this is the mix of orange and milk soaps not orange and olive oil

I currently am selling this batch on eBay for those who are interested (I know shame on my for using eBay but I have no luck with bid lazy.)

Plain olive with orange soap swirls

Tried another experiment making swirls. The effect is pretty but because of the way it has mixed I garuntee that the other end of the orange is pure orange soap. It was to thick when I poured in the other colour and as a result only some mixed. Oh well, more variety then.:)

eBay postage scammers were here

So as you would have guessed from my constant plugging I have been trying to sell off soap on eBay. I have done well over all. The majority of my 6 customers have been honest. Unfortunately a couple have been far from honest which is a little depressing.

Basically I ended up being threatened and harassed for extra monies when two customers told me that they had received the items with postage due. At first I believed them and refunded the money like I should according to eBay's polices and then these pair had the nerve to tell me I had to send them more money to cover the cost of the supposed postage due, evidence of which they never showed me! One left it alone after I calmly informed her that I had acted with in eBay's buyer protection scheme and that if postage due was paid then she was liable for it because she accepted it (! If you ever receive anything with postage due on it, refuse to pay it at the post office and they will return it to the original sender to pay the fees!). All I got was a crappy 'follow-up feedback'. Nothing really to worry about with the glowing feedback before it.

The seconds person has not been so easy to shake. Even though I have refunded all three transaction she made over three days she was still harassing me. But the funny part was in one message she had claimed to already have paid to receive the items and in the next she claimed to be going down to the post office to collect them! Believe me I was quick to report her....

Anyway I am now trying bid lazy.com
