For those of you that know me – you will know how much I like to plan, even great spontaneity needs a plan my next favourite activity is delegation. One thing you can definitely guarantee about a plan is that it needs to be flexible and to be updated – as you can imagine I planned our South African Adventure to cram as many activities in as possible and that is exactly how the first two weeks of the holiday worked. We have had loads of fun, made new friends, worshipped the sun and spotted wild animals galore on various safaris. Then the volcano erupted …….. Read More

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 getting everyone to look more closely at the service they offer? Read More

Have you ever felt that you were running too fast, whether in life or in the gym? Yesterday I was down the gym and as part of my warm up I used the running machine. I set the programme as normal (or so I thought) and set off. The machine gradually got faster and then too fast! I had to reduce the speed – that was odd – had I suddenly become incredibly unfit in a week? Then Darren my personal trainer pointed out that the settings between Miles and Kilometers had been changed – whew! I thought it was me Read More

Oh no my phone died :(

October 19, 2008 by Vicki in Property | Leave a comment

Oh no I am truly devastated! I went to switch my phone from silent to ring after an interview for some research work I have been doing and it was stuck, the time said 12.00 and I knew it was 1.10pm ! I switched the power off to restart it and now it won’t come on again – not at all !!!Fortunately at home we have a draw full of old phones (not sure why!) and in there were two versions of my Nokia 6310i,you may remember I wrote about how wonderful my phone was only last month – that’s probably what jinxed it !
