False prophets

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

Well seems I can possible be thought of as overly optimistic these days as the other possible opportunity seems to be just someone filling the air with CO2. Still it made me feel wanted for a day and I didn’t start changing anything else I have in place so its a case of just plodding [...]

Is the wind of change about to sweep through my life?

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

Long title for an interesting start to the day, had a call from someone I haven’t heard from for awhile and something was mentioned that up until the last month would have been out of the question? Seeing as how my mood and health have massively improved in the last week it seems strange that [...]

Feeling rough sir?

Monday, May 29th, 2006

Seems the cold has finally taken its toll on me today and I feel a bit knackered, also picked up a stomach ache in the afternoon which cut short a chat to Lemmy. At least my nose has stopped running now, just feel a bit washed and spaced out, still managed to get some bits [...]

Very early days…

Sunday, May 28th, 2006

What seems like years ago now, in fact it was , I used to get up early and spend a lot of time rushing about keeping busy. Well yesterday I was up and down ladders and all over the place (even tried to sort out a friends Xbox, only to be scuppered because they had [...]

Antenna’s and coax.

Saturday, May 27th, 2006

Well got round to sorting out a couple of things today, firstly tightened up a lose pipe that was dripping so that won’t leak anymore.. Then took the sky dish to bits and cleaned it all up and then put it all back together, because I was in so much of a hurry I managed [...]

Going VAT Registered.

Friday, May 26th, 2006

Well my company is certainly going VAT registered now, I had a visit from the second accountant today and it was again stressed that the VAT paid on these items I’m using for the business is mine and so should be returned. So this weekend I shall be going through all the receipts I have [...]

Difficult situations.

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

Ok so one of my clients, the one with the broadband problems, has said a couple of times now he is not happy and the other day when I was there he started making silly threats about suing people. I know I have done nothing wrong, hell I *have* to be careful with everything I [...]

A Busy Bee

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

So today I find myself sorting out a couple of computer problems for a new client. I’m so good I finish the job within 20 minutes, so I end up showing them how to do some other bits and pieces and setting up a backup job for them too. Then back home again.. Stop in [...]

Busy day, surely not?

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

Would you credit it? I spend forty minutes on the phone to the bank, seems my business manager is now in Birmingham (rather a long way from here) as they are changing the way it works. Sounds like a nightmare to me! After a 40 minute call I’m told I will get a ring back [...]

Damn BT and Damn the Weather!

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

Got a call from my main client this morning, seems the internet is playing up again! I rushed down to see the line going up and down, just like it did a month ago, phoned Pipex and raised a call with them about it. I’m told to run the BT_Test@Startup_Domain test on the connection so [...]
