I do not do business plans as we employed an accountant to do all that for us.
However on the production and selling side I know you do woodwork. My advice would be to avoid wooden toys. The market may have changed and it is a different country.
They look good and seem a good idea but in my experience they never sell.

The organisation I used to work for has pretty much cornered the wooden toy market locally.

Toys to saleable quality would be a bit complex for our clients anyway: I have to work with whoever turns up, and I have to remember that not everyone is a natural maker.

Morning.
They just announced on the TV that a new group of protesters are protesting on a government building. I was wondering if we could get to a point where protesters won't be able to get to their protest due to other protesters ?

I've cleaned the top of the tomato sauce bottle lid.

French, Flemish or Dutch and English?
I have a friend/ neighbour who speaks all 4 plus German and a smattering of Italian! All children should go to school in Belgium!
ps. My French is terrible but I do try

I sympathise, some people seem just to be able to soak up languages. I live in the Occitane region and when l moved here the locals told me not to bother with French just learn the local patois which is still spoken in the markets and between friends. I have quite enough to deal with just communicating in French

They'll deal with it in that curiously British way of queueing politely and waiting their turn.

I've just learned my beard is officially not a goatee, but a circle.

So there...

P.S. I'm teetotal. Maybe tea does make me more misty optic than alcohol.

I think in your case it should be teatotal.

Morning all. I discovered a new hole has opened up in the heel of one of my winter socks. It was evidently time to replenish sock stocks. I've gone merino. 2 pairs to start with and I'll see how they cope with washing before ordering more.
