Doing some research!

It was great to get out today and visit the INPAS trade show at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire to see what's new, meet up with people we know in the industry and buy some new things for our business. The show was a lot smaller than I expected, but as it was geared more towards what we do, we were able to find lots of interesting things. We ordered some new little ride on cars called didicars at a very good price and I'm sure they'll go down really well with the children who come to play.

We also saw some lovely little bouncing toys called HappyHopperz which we'll be ordering soon. They are in the process of putting in a new sort of valve to make it more difficult for people to...ahem...deflate them and then walk off with them, so as soon as that is done we'll be buying some - a couple to put out and some to sell.

The weather has remained gloomy all day with the early fog lingering and making everything look dull and grey. We got back to work to find we were quite busy which was a very pleasant surprise as we've been a little quiet during the week over the last few days so it's always a worry. Maybe all my Facebook posts and special offers are beginning to work!
