Time to rejoin life..

jean2579 — Sun, 28 Sep 2014 04:09:51 GMT

I am enjoying my 70 th birthday and have decided that I have wallowed too long for the past few years in being a senior cit and now it is time to get back into the race.

I have restarted my market stall and it is great to again be getting up at 4.30am and heading into the markets ready for a day of argy bargy and haggling.

I figure that if others here like Richo can still be working, so can I.

Happy Birthday Jean. I bet you find you will enjoy life more, now that there is a good reason to get up in the morning. I remember when I got ready to retire. I was so excited. Eventually though, it gets boring. I went back to work five years ago and am still going strong and loving m job.

Happy Birthday.. You've obviously weathered the last few difficult months and emerged well and happy. Good luck with your stall.

Happy Birthday, Jean!!!

I sometimes have a stall at the markets ... I haven't been for a while (too cold), but I do enjoy going there.

Thanks all. Katy if you mean Uptown it is still as miserable as an Arctic summer. Should get better soon.
It is amazing how quickly you slip back into bargaining with customers I hate it when they want to pay full price, no fun in that.

Hope it was a great one and many more to come.

Have fun, Erica

Jetty undercover, Jean. I have to admit that sometimes I set the price according to the customer 😉

I did markets for years, then B & M.

Trust me, if they want to pay full price, then it's too cheap! LOL

Mark it up, then haggle to your hearts content
