Stock Take

Every year, the last week before xmas, we do a full stock take.
Now, just saying that line probably doesn't do it justice.

But, read that line again and look here
The products on there are probably a 5th of what we do.

The worst things to count have got to be these. Oh how long it takes. We hold so many in stock its difficult to appreciate it until you try and count every pair!
Its always freezing cold, so thermals and gloves are essential. Now i dont really suit hats, but xmas stock take is never done without one. I favour this style. At the end of the day, i look stupid in all of them anyway, so why worry!

Normally, December is a quiet time for us. With workshops, warehouses and garages shutting down for xmas, our last 2 weeks leading up to the Big day are somewhat calm and stress free.
But this year, somethings changed.
Apparently we are out of the recession now. Although i totally disagree that everything is looking up and rosy for the UK climate, i must admit that its been busier these last 2 weeks than it has ever been in Decembers previous.

Ive been here 4 years now, and i think this is going to be the first year i am busy right up until xmas eve.
There will be no toasting my nuts and sipping sherry this xmas eve. Ill be fulfilling all the website orders and shipping the last few parcels out the door.
If the weather continues to be cold and icy then more of these are going to sell, i have no doubt.

So ill keep you all updated as the next couple of weeks go by.

Have fun
