Please give Jen some help. Facebook is damaging her business due to poor algorithms.

She has built a cracking and quite niche business setup for those of us who like a little sweary thing every now and again.

Honestly, this is absolutely gutting.

I’ve put so much time, effort and hard work into growing this page and building this community, so seeing my page now sitting at “Page is at risk” when I genuinely haven’t done anything wrong is incredibly disheartening.

And the worst part is that it’s now affecting my actual business.

My reach and visibility have dropped massively, which means fewer people are seeing my products, fewer orders are coming in and ultimately it’s having a direct impact on my income.

I’ve spoken to Meta and asked them for a timeframe on when this will be resolved.

Their answer?

They don’t know.

It could be a week.
It could be months.
It could apparently even be a year.

How am I supposed to run a small business when I have no idea how long my page is going to be restricted for?

I’ve spent years building this page, creating products, posting, interacting with you all and growing this community. To have all of that affected because Facebook has restricted my page despite me doing nothing wrong is honestly heartbreaking.

I’m not giving up, though.

So if you’re still seeing my posts, please like, comment, share or even just leave a random comment. It genuinely helps get my posts back in front of people.

And if you’ve ever bought from me, shared my posts, recommended me or supported my little business in any way — thank you. It means more than you probably realise.

Right now I just need Facebook to stop hiding me in the bloody corner and let me get back to doing what I actually do.

Creating stuff, making people laugh and selling my s**t. 😩

Are you struggling to find that one-of-a-kind gift for a special someone in your life? 🎁 We can help!

At Designed Manchester, we offer a unique gift solution by engraving beautiful designs on glass, wood, and acrylic materials. 💡 Take, for instance, this stunning photo engraving we did for a volunteer and his wife as a heartfelt gift from The Shed Tameside. This lovely gesture was made possible just a day after the wedding, and we can do the same for you! 📸

The photo is engraved into solid oak, and we can accommodate any size photo, whether it's in portrait or landscape orientation. Our engraving services are perfect for commemorating special moments, and we'd be delighted to help you create a treasured keepsake. 💕

If you are interested, please get in touch as prices vary on the size and thickness of the oak blocks.

Fresh off the press (well, laser) and it's all Jen’s Chaotic Creations fault! 😂

Outlined pet images on these now too! Maybe even a family photo outlined? These are £5 extra as they take longer, so £30. The originals (just wording) if you missed are £25. You can get your sweary fix from Jen's site or go PG with me. Hit me with your best slogan ideas in the comments! .

Oh, and don't believe the outline magic? Check out our real life model, Dotty and her adorable grumpy face in the original pic 🤣😍

We have news!

I love working with other businesses, and now we have teamed up with Jen’s Chaotic Creations to bring you some engraved coir doormats.

Jen is selling her traditional sweary and insulting ones, some of which are amazing🤣 and I will be doing other non-sweary versions, and maybe even ones with a photo engraved too, I just need to test that.

These are £25 each, Jen has a link on her page to her store for those, others I will be listing soon. You can just DM me as usual to order, any text can be added to them, it doesn't need to be a listed saying.

I will post some sample images up of them soon.

**The collab you never knew you needed… but here we are absolutely smashing it out the park 😂🔥**

Remember my attempt at doormats that failed *so fu***ng epically*? Well… I’ve teamed up with Mike Designed Manchester to bring you the ultimate personalised coir doormats and we’re giving them a proper glow-up 😍

I’ll be bringing you all the sweary, sarcastic, “probably shouldn’t put this by the front door but I absolutely will” designs 😂

And Mike will be bringing his own personalised creations too, for those of you who don’t want to offend the neighbours, the postman, or that one person who definitely judges your doorstep choices 👀😂

These aren’t your standard painted doormats. These are **lasered**, meaning they have that crisp, professional finish that looks bloody amazing. Of course, they’re still doormats — you’ll be wiping muddy shoes, boots and whatever else life throws at them — so over time they’ll naturally show wear and tear, just like any doormat would.

But compared to painted versions? The quality speaks for itself 😍

These will be **£25** and honestly… they’re bloody good value for the quality you’re getting.

So come on then… throw your ideas at us 👇

I want the sweary, sarcastic, inappropriate ones 🤣
Mike wants the lovely personalised ones ❤️

Let’s see what you’ve got because I’m convinced some of you are going to come up with absolute crackers 😂🔥
