I have had just the funniest series of email chats with Georgina Lester about being busy. We have been “trying” to meet up to talk about social media. I have been out speaking at property events and busy writing my new book and Georgina has been busy developing her new social media business. Georgina wrote that she had had to come to terms with not being a four brained octopus with enough fingers to match. Read the rest of this entry

Complaining or just telling it how it is?

After last week’s article on gratitude and saying thank you – it seems ironic that this week I might be seen to be complaining. Maybe everyone is having a summer customer service survey, maybe it’s the impact of the recession Read the rest of this entry

There’s that string again !!

I spoke some months ago about my frustration, when I realised the opportunities in the property market. How I was like a hurricane – poor friends, family and complete strangers ! I must say I have started to feel that way again – why you might ask? What has changed?

I thought I was adventureous?

I thought I was an adventurer, I am an adventurer! Then when did I become too scared to ice skate ! We went ice skating in Slough with the nieces-in-law (in common law ?!?) aged 3 and 4 years old.
