Hello from Avalon Retail
Hi
My name is Olive, I live in Cambridge and run an online store Avalon Retail. I was made redundant a few years ago and as I've been disabled for many years and am well into middle age I found it impossible to locate a personally rewarding job. So with a lot of help and encouragement from a variety of organisations, family and friends my business went 'live' in July last year. I sell a range of waterproof ponchos, reusable shopping bags and jewellery helpers. Things I've found useful or suggested by others. My reason for joining this forum is to tell a tale of warning. I plan to title it 'Beware of the banks' |

Welcome to the forum Olive. Sounds like you didn't let a bad situation get you down and instead have moved toward the positive. Look forward to your tale of warning.
Thanks for joining the community.
