5 Days left 🖤
Im going to have a wee reflection for those that care, A wee heart to heart, I mean we are all friends here.
The last week has been a bit bittersweet, Although Ive had alot of people ask if I’m sad, But I’m not and that’s how I know it’s the right decision! Don’t get me wrong I am going to miss you guys.
Were there things that lead to this decision? Yeah, A few really. My son is 16 this month, Glamore was my first baby, but I gave so much, yet still lost so much, I returned to work less than 2 weeks after his c-section actually all 3 of their c-sections, because I had business to grow, We had a family to support. I have missed out on so much, that I don’t want to anymore, So the answer to the question everyone that is asking what I’m going to do next…..Nothing, absolutely nothing I am going to be a present mum / housewife enjoy my family, make chutneys and jams 😅
There are definitely more contributors, Our building owner who just doesn’t care, Our roof still hasn’t been repaired since it was repo’d over a year ago we still leak in places! We have had methane gas smell on / off for 2 years now he refuses to do anything despite on worst days we were shut down by the fire brigade, the amount of days we have had to close due to the building is more than it should be, this resulted in loss of income and times always felt like we were playing catch up, and I just can’t do another move guys.
My body is fu**ed man, I’ve got 2 collapsed discs in my neck, 1 is herniated, My ac joint in my shoulder is fu**ed, this has resulted in me developing migraines. Im suffering complications from my last surgery which has resulted in me loosing a bit of weight, some days I cant eat, I can’t lift anything or even cough or sneeze without supporting my tum. Both my hips are riddled with arthritis and now cause me immense pain and both need replaced, I don’t even remember the last time I had a full nights sleep, I suffer chronic pain daily, yet my body doesn’t tolerate most pain medication, Yeah I raw dogg this s**t daily! As well as recovering from this most recent surgery. My carpal tunnel has returned with needing to use crutches. It’s time to stop before my body literally forces me to stop.
And you know what, why not go out on a high, every year we have expanded, every year we have got bigger & better , I sit back thinking of my tiny private studio I first had at home to what I have now and I sit back and think f**k yeah I done this, We done this! Because I wouldn’t be here without you guys! I never in my absolute wildest dreams ever imagine Glamore to be what it is today, I’ve been faced by so many bloody set backs, more than the average. Then we made it through a pandemic 😅 There has been so many times I have thought f**k this I’m done, But I haven’t. Every time I have come back better than ever before, Because you guys held me accountable, I’ve wanted to show up for you guys! The s**t days I didn’t want to go, but yous made them better, although there were a couple of them that made good days s**t 🤣 but lucky that was few & far between.
I don’t even know where I’m going with this, I wrote this out at like 1am when I should of been sleeping but the hips have got me good tonight 🫠 But in short what im trying to say is F**k! What a wild ride it has been, We have shared many yarns, I have watched some of your kids grow up, you have watched mine grow , we have shared a few hair colours, laughs, tears & hugs. There will be alot of memories I treasure, new friendships Ive made & I have been so absolutely incredibly lucky to share it with you 🖤
Who would of thought a high school drop out opening a business at 17 would end up here!
Forever grateful
Stacey 🫶🏻🖤
