THE LITTLE THINGS



 CHILLED WEEKEND





With all the hustle and bustle of starting up a business, you've got to remember to take the time to chill every once in a while. Last weekend we went to Boscombe beach with a couple of our friends for a late-night fire.


Getting to the Beach

Usually, traveling can be quite boring but car journeys to the beach are always fun! It takes just under an hour and a half to get there from where we live so it's not too long, but it flies by. Sometimes we get some food and stop at Maccies on the way down for some late-night dinner but one thing you can always count on is the tunes will be blaring! Our friends that we went with this time, Somer and her boyfriend Josh, are obsessed with all things music so Matt made sure to put on a lively playlist. 

The Bonfire

As soon as we get to the beach and park up, it's all systems go to get the fire started. We have a fire pit we bought about 2 months ago which does us perfectly! It's a great size for a little fire and it keeps it all contained. Matt is always in charge of starting the fire, he's really good at it I know he loves to do it, I think it's the whole manliness of it all, but he is very good at getting it lit quickly and sustaining it throughout the night. It was quite chilly last weekend; the seafront breeze is killer.

Once it was ticking away nicely, the relaxation began definitely for Matt anyway! It was so nice to take a breather from everything and just unwind from the week before. We've got to remember that even with the business grind, we need to take time to ourselves, and this was the perfect opportunity. 

For me, there's nothing more relaxing than the sound of the sea. It's always been my reset button if you like and whenever I've been stressed or upset, the sound of the waves hitting the sand sorts me right out. 



The Night

Because Matt drove, Josh ordered us some pizza from Pizza Hut to say thank you which was lovely of him, and the pizza was banging. Matt and I shared a large and went for a simple pepperoni, it's always been one of Matt's favorites and you can't go wrong with a pepperoni. We did pack some extra snacks for the night which I quickly munched my way through! The only thing that was missing was a nice cup of tea. 


It got to about 1:30am and we ran out of wood for the fire, so Matt and Josh cleared it all up and packed it all away again whilst Somer and I were packing up the rest of the things we'd taken like blankets and towels. 

Matt kept mentioning to me in the car that I was falling asleep, but I was adamant I wasn't (even though I knew he was right). After about 10 minutes I gave in and said I was going to sleep, to which I think Josh and Somer quickly joined. I felt quite bad for Matt though as he was driving back home with a car full of people who were asleep, not the best entertainment! 




All in all, it was a great night! So much fun and a much-needed chill time. I think it's easy to forget when you start up a business that you're still human, you still need time to relax and enjoy things with friends as much as any other person. I can't wait 'till our next adventure!!

CAR BOOT BONANZA 🚗🥾

Image
There is always a bargain to be found...💎💎💎 A little history about myself and my car boots. I always remember when I was younger my dad loved car boot, we all have memories whether good or bad of our parents but the best ones I have had with my dad is of car boots and other events alike. I learned all my bartering skills from watching him, I'd never tell him this but the reason I'm good at anything to do with bartering and getting deals is because of watching him. My dad wasn't a great teacher but that is not his fault, he didn't have the best upbringing, so he has never been shown or lived with a father who has done what he has done for me, whether he knew what he was doing or not. We always went to these car boots, our main options in my area are a large one at Swallowfield and a one that used to be large, but I don't think it is as big as it used to be, to be honest probably not worth the time it would take to get there. First time in a few years I finally got...

WE MADE OUR FIRST £100 IN SALES! 21/09/2022

  BABY STEPS We did it! We are moving forward! We are taking small steps towards our goal. I am so proud of what Amelia and I have achieved so far, we have just made our first £100 in sales. That was a great first week with our products being officially live on Amazon's Marketplace. We have had some anxious waiting and wondering if we sent the packages off to amazon correctly or if we missed a label or the worse thing, is if the shipment was rejected and we had to pay the fees to bring it back. I'm just looking forward to seeing what we can achieve cause we are a solid team and I wholeheartedly believe fuck all can stop us! We are on a mission to be financial free i'm not greedy, I don't want to be rich, ideally I'd love to go to work without worrying that I need to go because of the money. Then I can go to work and seriously have no boundaries and really express my desire to excel through my company's systems.  With this infrastructure that we are building, we ...

WHERE HAVE WE BEEN

 Where Have We Been?! It's been a while!  Wow, we've not posted a blog for nearly a week now which isn't like us! It's just been a hectic week and we didn't have much time to type one up but let me update you on our week 😊 I've been working on the weekends recently so trying to cram in work, AMAT Culture work and seeing friends and family has been quite difficult. On Saturday we had to go and get a food shop done as we had literally nothing in the house. Matt hates food shopping but I LOVE it! Love picking out what fresh fruit and veg we're going to have, I like having a mooch around to get new meal ideas or snack ideas. I'm also really picky with chicken so going into a shop and picking a decent looking pack of chicken breasts is a must for me. Don't get me wrong, online food deliveries are great if you don't have the time or can't get out but I don't like that you can't look at the products and choose which one you want.  Matt and ...
