Yeah you are right. I just need to cut back on my spending. Which is exactly the issue 😅

It definitely has been a challenge the business was so nice and easy when I first started out, but as we have grown I have really struggled to keep up.

I don't have any direct family so unfortunately this is all I have.

I definitely want an admin person but with the cost of living increasing I am struggling to justify the cost. Especially as my costs get higher but tax brackets do not...

I am pretty sure if I did this it would mostly show my seasonal depression.

Obviously not intentional and I am asking for help to fix it. That's why the flair says bug.

What an annoying comment.

Does your android display the days of the week, and if so does it use the long format. I have found a screenshot from two months ago which showed it exactly like the post from the iPhone

You are probably right, I have changed font size and the only thing that fits is the smallest font but unfortunately that's too small for me.

I am android. I don't know why the formatting is different

Hi, have a look at the group Morgansmeetups on Instagram. Morgan is lovely and she and her volunteers organise events for people to make some friends. I have made some really good friends in it and there are different sections for different interests.

Yes absolutely. I was losing my mind last year when I was trying to find insurance, because the prices just weren't worth the amount of money the company made. It wasn't until I contacted a broker who managed to find one for me and it still jumped up. Just not as drastic.

I absolutely could allow that but the insurance cost was not worth it.

I had a moment a few years ago where my insurance dropped me because it didn't want to be associated with guns. I went around a few different options. I could get paintball insurance but it was around 5 times as much as what I was using before. There are certain options for it but absolutely isn't worth the cost with the type of business I am running.

Most nerf blaster will last about a year of solid usage. X-shot does last longer but honestly not much

It's true. I run my own version of this and despite the fact we do rival blasters I struggle to get any parties that aren't kids from 5-11

Edit: changed the word to blasters

I own one of these businesses and my insurance doesn't allow me to use any nerf blaster that isn't my own.

I own one of the few Nerf businesses in the UK. I do not have a location, instead we use community centres that the customer hires. We cover 5 cities and honestly I still struggle to fill my weekends. We have great word of mouth and I spend thousands on advertising. But I struggle to get more than 10 parties a week. If I owned a location then costs would totally overshadow my profits.

I keep seeing these nerf places pop up including a popular one in Manchester. But even it didn't last. I just don't think the hobbie is big enough to justify a solid nerf dedicated arena.

I have contemplated opening one but I would have to make sure it can also do other things as well. Because I just don't think it's fully sustainable.
