Pimping Pets in Cheshire!

About Me

I'm fast approaching 30....and having an early mid-life crisis!. I've just quit my job and set up a Luxury Pet Boutique in Cheshire. It's called Pimp My Pet (www.pimpmypetuk.com). I didn't realise just how much work was involved in setting up and running your own business. And I'm seriously missing my monthly waige packet. I have two dogs - Mabel the Manchester Terrier and the latest edition Martha the Boston Terrier. Martha's just 10 weeks old - she's ridiculously cute.

My Interests

The usual stuff...movies, walking with my dogs, cooking - nothing really extrodinary!. Well other than organising riduculous Howl-o-ween competitions - to raise funds for the local dog and cat rescue centers. And travelling - Tokyo, Kenya - that kind of stuff.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with advice about starting and running their own business. My store (Pimp My Pet - Luxury Pet Boutique) has been open about 3 months so far - all advice is welcome. None of my freinds have been mad enough to go out on their own - so I don't really have anyone to really chat to about the store. I'm realising that the reality of running your own store is that your working 24/7 - not chance of having a skive day off work etc!.I'd also like to meet anyone with dogs who might like to visit the store - to pick up a few pressies for their pampered pets.

Music:

The Rolling Stones, a bit of house music, r&b - anything goes really.

Movies:

Toy Story - Buzz is my hero!; Donnie Darko - I've watched it at least 20 times and could watch it over and over; Dogma - very witty.

Television:

I like a bit of Trinnie & Suzanna; Lost; stuff like The Apprentice is always a winner with me - your fired!!!!

Books:

I only get stuck into a book on holiday - so whatever grabs my attention at the airport. Other than the odd sales/ business related books.

Heroes:

Anita Roddick... very impressed with the whole Body Shop story. I know it's pretty sad to admit the next one.... my dad!
