One small blog for me, One giant blog for mankind

This is my first ever blog so here it goes

Stress level today: 2 grey hairs

In February we took a big life changing decision and decided to set up our own internet petshop. My husband, Karl handed in his notice for his reasonably paid office job and started working from home (Well from our very small spare room to be exact). So it is left to me to be the main breadwinner with my not very well paid job as a veterinary nurse.So www.ArdentPets.co.uk was born. It looks very impressive considering it is just one man in a poky spare room on the edge of nuneaton. It was lots of fun to start with, I wrote some fantastically informative pet advice pages in the hope they may educate the world, I then woke up and wrote some nice articles on pet care in the hope that someone might read them before the information goes out of date. It was my job to source the products which I had great fun doing.Finding items from the everyday to the bizarre. Where else could you buy decoy herons and hamster harnesses with this level of service?Then the excitement waned and we realised what we hade done. I decided to ignore the potential to lose everything we have and set about helping Karl write the 500 plus descriptions for all the exciting pet items I had found.Ten months on our baby has grown impressively. It is doing well enough to support itself but not quite well enough to support its hard working mum and dad. I am starting a blog to cover the ups and downs of the next few months where we are either going to loose it all or have a fantastic website that will look after us when we are old and prematurely grey. Come back soon to find out how were getting on!
