Rising from the Ashes

Well, not so much ash, but a lot of dust and mess.

Since the ceiling collapsed in the Skinflint Workshop, I've been feeling miserable. Many of my containers are water damaged and cannot be used, around $1000 worth of containers have been lost.
Since I can't afford to replace them until insurance money comes through, I was planning to shut down operations for a while.

This is normally the busiest time in the Skinflint workshop, getting stock on the shelves for the Christmas period, so you can understand my misery.
However, I've decided not to let it get to me and have worked out a partial solution. The home kitchen will be completely sterilised one day a week to enable Skinflint production, no food cooking allowed on that day. I'll have to work around the container issue and perhaps package some products in different jars or bottles.

And, this will also give me time to start planning some new products. I'm working on Chocolate Body Scrub right now and my hands are smelling quite delicious. Stay tuned for more!
