Google Checkout

Google has launched its payment system in the UK. For small businesses like myself who only run a small shop as a sideline this maybe a viable alternative to the Paypal option. Paypal is still untrusted by a lot of my customers who prefer to give details over the phone.

Will Google fair any better with customer trust online? time will tell i suppose, however it looks like a cheaper option for me (in terms of fees as Google is offering free transaction processing until the end of the year) so I'll be spending some computer time to updating the marionette pages to accommodate the new buttons.

New workshop - 3

Have managed to put up the partition wall and move some tools in.
I will be kitchen making for the next couple of weeks but hopefully will get the odd bit of time to sort out the new work area.

Moving is always a good time to sort things out although it takes a lot of time. In the spare moments I've had in the last few days I've fixed a few things and cleaned up some of the machines.
I managed to aquire a couple of used kitchen units so have installed those in one end. Hopefully I can get some more soon and really tidy things away.

I appear to have lost some of the parts for my metal stall (which I am planning to make into a little marionette performance theatre) so won't be able to put that together until i get some new parts made.

New workshop

Ok, so I'm in, here's the new workshop location. Look at the height of the roof, plenty of room to operate marionettes from above.

I just have to create the partition wall and then move some stuff in.
I've got a kitchen to finish first off but that should be quicker now I have more room.
