I bet all those shops loved having all those women prancing around....and shopping afterwards..

Must admit I made a few crap decisions over the last couple of years, mainly down to the collapse of the construction industry, main contractors folding etc. No one injected money into my business, in fact everyone wanted money out of it and boy did they make sure they got it. It got so bad we got down to having only

As it happens last weekend my clutch went, cost me

On average I start around 5.30 usually emailing / paperwork / ordering materials
leave home between 7 & 8 normally return home around 7 & 8 invoicing and quoting between 10 & 12 then sleep....

I must admit, I prefer to shop for almost everything online nowadays, even more so this time of the year. If you stroll around my local supermarket by the time you have come out, at least 10 people would have walked straight into you and offered you a worthless apology. The you get to the till and an item is either broken or doesn't have a price tag, so you have to wait for a supervisor, then finally you have navigate you motor out of the car park without some bright spark ramming a shopping trolley into it....Alternative 15 minutes online...job done easy!

I seem to have been bombarded over the last 3 days with emails from some company asking me if I want to buy email lists, they get annoying in the end..

Oh I love a court case, gives me a reason other than for funerals to dress up... If theres no written or signed contract I can't see why you can't just cancel the direct debit, the only thing I'm struggling with is why you would sign a direct debit mandate, not knowing what you are going to get. I wouldn't pay on principle if I had been misled, I would however give the company every chance to resolve any issues I had. Thereby if it did go legal you can always show that you have been reasonalble..

More happy customers
Like someone else said, I think it will only work with womens beauty products, having fitted out a few hairdressing salons, the retailer generally puts a huge mark up on the creams, potions and lotions and all the other so called 'magical beauty slap' women buy for eternal youth Probably the women who buy these vouchers have the work carried out by trainees, thereby keeping the costs down even more. I never knew that Groupon kept 50% of the voucher, so just by taking a stroll around a supermarket and looking at the cost of food, it stands to reason that no restaraunt is ever going to break even after all the other overheads have been taken into account. Seems like some businesses are using this scheme out of sheer desperation.

I like the Free Index reviews since they've upgraded their site. The more reviews you get, the higher in the page rankings you go, but if business owners write their own reviews then this is highlighted to the consumer. It's suprising just how many sites listed have warning notices against them saying they have the same IP address as the owner
