Expansion

If you have been into the shop over the last year you may have noticed that there has been a little noise from the flat above in the form of some kind of euro trash music, which has varied from some frenetic beats which send your eyes jumping in your skull to the dulcet tones of someone singing along to Eye of the Tiger (not eurotrash I know but the voice singing it may have been.)
I am pleased to announce that from now on, (unless I feel a bit of Rocky coming on) those days are over. A new reign is beginning, the new kids are in town. Yup, the flat is finally ours.
Don't get too excited, it's still a little premature, the old regime have left things in a bit of a mess. When I say mess, imagine you had 12 people living in a 5 bed flat, with damp mouldy walls, all smokers, all dart players ( a LOT of holes). Imagine these people live on a diet of super noodles, coffee & vodka (judging by the leftovers in the cupboards). Imagine the smell. So it's going to take a while, definitely, to get rid of the smell, to get rid of the mould (didn't anyone learn the value of ventilation?), to knock down a few walls, to give it a lick or 2 of paint, and to open it up for business. It will add 2 extra rooms for the shop, a bead room, 2 permanent classrooms, an office for mum, and - how excited am I - an office for ME!!!
I will post pictures of the progress, it's going to be a long haul.
