I thought I'd chip in here (long time lurker, you guys are hilarious) because I do actually run a small business (not built on the back of my following like our gabs). And it supports both me and my partner - basically Gabs is chatting horseshit
Sticking things in an envelope and slapping a royal mail sticker on them does not take a lot of time, even if she's got 100 orders in a day. It should take 3-4 hrs MAX if she's organised (especially if there's 2 of them!).
I don't know why the
duck she's "working" from 8am-4am, I have no idea what she could possibly be doing apart from
bleeping around trying to look busy.
I spend about 45 hrs a week (sometimes less) on my business and that includes: packing orders, making all my orders (because they're actually handmade gobs, not shite you've ordered from sticker mule) photographing new products, social media, doing in person sales (markets, dropping off product at local shops, craft fairs), driving my parcels to the delivery depot, sorting out my accounts, responding to emails.
If you're organised it's really not difficult, and I'm open *GASP* every day of the year! Not 10 days a year
I think she just wants people to think that because she's as thick as mince and struggling, that everyone struggles. But no. She's just thick.
