My saving grace last weekend was finding a local hardware store. I was in the DIY zone mentally so decided to take advantage of my mental instability and tackle some long overdue jobs that needed taking care of at home. It soon became apparent why I don’t work as a skilled tradesman. After making more of a mess than was there originally and leaving it very late in the day to try and attempt repairs courtesy of a visit to Baldwin hardware; my heroes!

Just got a flyer in the door regarding 5th wheel insurance. I have a sign up on my door specifying no flyers etc but I was actually glad that the delivery guy either didn’t see the sign or didn’t understand it or even chose to ignore it. I needed to get an insurance quote and would have forgotten only for this flyer reminded me! Everything happens for a reason!

They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend but they didn’t state that they need to be certified diamonds! I’m just after watching the film Blood Diamond and I was horrified by what I saw. I don’t own any diamonds myself but I have bought them before and it got me thinking about where they came from. I couldn’t rest until I found out and thankfully all my diamonds were certified and fully traceable. Shame the same can’t be said for the money they cost me!!

The daughter of a friend of mine was recently looking for work so I mentioned seeing a job advertisement for customer service jobs. This girl would be really good at a job like that. She’s very personable, courteous and has a great manner. I haven’t heard whether or not she applied for the job or if she as lucky enough to get the job. I think things are picking up on the job front again slightly, saw a few small ads placed this week so hopefully it’s a sign of things to come.

I was listening to a news report this evening that praised the state of medical equipment in our hospitals. Seems we’re very fortunate to have such state of the art machines and equipment compared to third world countries where they have little or no such equipment. It got me thinking that I’d like to do something to improve medical facilities overseas, so I’ve signed up to a charity and I’m now making monthly donations in the hope that things on that score will change.

Normally I wouldn’t snoop at other people’s desks and if truth be known, I wasn’t even snooping this time. I was looking for a file on a colleague’s desk when a post it note caught my eye. It said HCG injections Austin. I was intrigued as to what the injections were. And now I know her secret! I dont need to see a diet slideshow or training courses!They’re diet injections, which could explain her great figure. She used to be a little overweight and then went away one summer for a vacation and came back looking hotter than ever. You never can tell can you?

We’re looking at personalized gifts for staff this Christmas instead of giving out bonuses. The budget isn’t there to give an anyways decent bonus so at least a special gift will show that we’ve put some thought process into action. Now we just have to decide on the actual gift – do we get the same for everyone or different ones for different people? Thank goodness we have a Sports & Social Committee who over see this sort of thing.

There was a raffle being held for our local kids’ soccer club and I bought a few tickets from a neighbour just to be nice. I never win anything so didn’t think twice about keeping my tickets, figured there was no point. There were some great prizes on offer – HDTV’s, vacations, meal vouchers and such like. The best seller’s prize was a Samsung HDTV and my neighbour won it! As for me, I was right not to keep my tickets – I didn’t win!

My PA is expecting her first baby soon and her sister has organised a baby shower for her. There’s a ‘wish list’ for presents and I noticed that there was a website listed for Peg perego – an Italian company with global vision (that’s their tag!). I’ve picked a few things from the wish list and hopefully the gift wrapped presents will arrive in time for the shower. As it is, I won’t be able to attend the shower but I’m sure I won’t be missed!

When i started my first business , I had never heard of a chartered accountant and to be honest , if a team of chartered accountants fell down on my head i wouldnt have had a clue what they were looking for.
Making the right decision to find an accounting firm that can help you set up your own company isnt easy and as anyone knows , when you start a business , you need the best help possible. I have been trying to form a company for a long time and when my friend who is actually an Auditor and his wife a registered auditor in a large firm , they were at least able to offer me some Taxation Advice in relation to the business , but getting the best Business Advice from someone is an uphill struggle!
