Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Dear All.

Only my second post I know, but I have been vey busy with the new shop. No extra job on the horizon so this bear shop ha really gotta work now. Given the current situation with peoples spending (I never say credit crunch- this a manufactured word created by the media and larger organisations as a way of off loading loss making companies and still geting finacial help from the goverment and a way to sell newpapers)
Did you see the way people were in the sales. MAD, there's plenty of money around, its just that in England we can talk ourselves into a recession.

When we opened on the 27th after Christmas, the amount of people who wanted to moan about the lousy Christmas they had wa unreal. Anybody who read my first post or the article about me in my local press will know I never talk negative. Lets start to talk positive, that way we will get on track a lot quicker.

We were very busy in the shop in December, October and November were good but December was a good month for us, I can finally pay some bills. We have now added Charlie Bears into the shop along with Clemens bears and next week I am having my Herman (red) bears. We also got a few Merrythoughts, but not sold ay yet. Isabelle bears also did well.

The best selling bear was Charlie Bears, but we also did well with Deans and Steiff.

And this comes to my last word to you all. My wife hinted that she wanted Milligan (from Deans Bears for Christmas, being a bloke (thick one at that) I forgot and bought her a airfix Volvo merican truck, and had it made and sprayed for her (SHES NUTS ON ANYTHING VOLVO) anyway to see the dissappointment on her face Christmas morning was unreal.
I Bought her a full size set of drums 2 weeks before and a Dior poison gift set the week before, but nothing could stop her disappointment of not having milligan in her stocking. I think she was surprised I helped cook christmas dinner ( thought she might try to poison me so I watched her every move) lol.. Anyway I knew deans had sold out, and have tried every on line shop but no one has one.

Please help me find Milligan.
This morning I said to her, on the first day of every month, choose a bear you would like and you can have it. THIS MORNING SHE SAID MILLIGAN!

Any way thanks for reading this and I wish every one a very Happy New Year, and hope its prosperous for us all.

Love
Andrew
