Happy Birthday to us....Happy Birthday to us......

Hello!  <Moon Mummy waves forlornly from underneath a pile of paperwork!>

I know I haven't written for a while, with christmas and everything, things have been more than a little bit manic at Bright Moon Central.  Besides the Moon Daddy has been commenting that sales and site traffic actually increased while I wasn't updating this blog!

Bright Moon was born on February 9th 2010, so we are now, officially 1 year old.  It's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride what with one thing and another but we're still here, still trading and things are on the up.  Which in today's economic climate is no mean feat in itself.

So to celebrate we though we'd hold a Special Celebration Sale, which we hope you'll enjoy browsing.  There's something for everyone included, from Hotmilk lingerie to toddler toys and more.  We've also had a couple of days out at trade fairs recently and have seen some fantastic new lines that we would like to stock.  Some of them have already arrived and will be appearing in our store very soon.  They're really a little bit special and we can't wait to show them to you.

As we're now facing our first end of year, I seem to have mountainous piles of paperwork and forms to fill in.  I have missing receipts and I have to admit my filing system leaves a little to be desired.  I have three folders - 1) Bank and Credit Card Statements, 2) Supplier Invoices & 3) "Other Stuff"! 

I will be doing a full blog post on the ups and downs of our first year in business, but will have to leave that for another time.  Tomorrow is Moonchild the Elder's 4th birthday and I have a chocolate hedgehog cake to make.  Let me tell you, I am no baker and there could be an emergency rush to Tesco's in the morning yet!

I'll let you know how I get on!  I have flour, sugar, butter & chocolate.  I am armed and dangerous.  Look out - this mummy is on a mission!
