The Big Cyber Move Continued . . .

Well, we're nearly there.

The office is looking like an office now, which creates a nice working environment - and as we all know, a nice working environment helps to produce a better quality of work. The files are on their shelves, the computers are set up, and the workers are at their desk - but . . .

There's always a 'but' . . .

We are still experiencing problems with our telephone lines and internet connection - and you can't exactly run an internet based company without the internet. That kinda goes without saying really.

We've had issues where the phones don't ring, then the wrong phones ring, followed by our answer machine message not switching on (which was put on to explain about our difficulties, etc). And then the internet is either on, off, or running incredibly slow . . .

It's been a hair-ripping-out time, but hopefully, fingers crossed, as this afternoon slowly draws on, things seem to be looking up. The right phones are ringing, allowing customers to finally get through to us, and the internet connection seems to be running at a reasonable speed, allowing us to finally get some work done.

Let's hope it remains so . . .

The Big Cyber Move . . .

Well, once again we have just moved office. If you have been trying to get hold of us, and have been unsuccessful, then we apologise. Our new phone lines are now up and running - although we still may be suffering from a few teething problems with the new system. All our contact details are now listed on our website.

You don't know, until you move, just how much stuff you accumulate over the years. We had numerous samples from our warehouse that we had been doing marketing work on, and these had just been left afterwards to gather dust. They were eventually supposed to be sent back to our warehouse, but their time for dispatch had failed to come round.

Instead, on the day of our move, we hired a big van, threw everything in the back and shipped them all in one go. But we were still left with untold amounts of cardboard boxes - where they come from we didn't know.

Moving can be a very stressful thing, but it gives you the opportunity to have a good clear out. However, despite what some people - or person in particular -said, the moving of an entire office could NOT be done in just four hours. Who ever thought it could? (naming no names) Shame on them. We moved in yesterday, and today we still spent most of the time sorting the new office out. (I even bought myself a little plant, a Primula, for my desk to make it feel a little more homely. We've called her Roseeta. Roseeta the office Primula. It goes lovely with my cactus.)

So, after forty-eight hours - NOT FOUR - we are finally beginning for feel like a proper office again. Services should be resuming as normal.

Chicken Coops For Those Chooks . . .

Trying to start 2010 afresh? Want to start living that healthier, greener lifestyle, but having troubles keeping up with those New Year Resolutions? (aren't we all . . .)

Well, here's one option.

Believe it or not, keeping chickens is a new up-and-coming craze that is becoming more and more popular with people as time goes on. The total number now keeping their own poultry has doubled since 2008, and is still on the rise. Many homes now have a flock of their own chickens running around their garden. For any animal lover, not only will these make interesting pets, but also aid towards that healthier lifestyle you promised yourself at the turn of the year. You will have an endless supply of fresh eggs that you know will be free range, and it will save you money having to go and buy them everytime you run out - not to mention the amount of fresh air you will gain.

However, looking after them chooks isn't just about letting them run free around your garden. It's also about providing them a good, safe home. Chicken coops are designed to do just that. They offer your hens a dry haven for the night, and a safe place for them to lay those eggs that you want. It also keeps them safe from predators such as foxes. Foxes are clever little critters, and the design of your coop needs to outsmart them. It needs to have taken in every conceivable situation in order to provide your chooks the protection that they need and are relying on you for.

Once you've passed that hurdle, your little chooks will be happy and content, and will be more than willing to provide you with the end result that you desire.

So, why not join the flock? There will never be a dull moment. Just don't tell my cat . . .

20KG Weights Set . . .

They're here, they have arrived.

Despite the new products that have suddenly appeared on our website, I've chosen these 20kg weights to feature on our blog.

Why? I hear you ask . . . because they deserve to. That, and because I have a set sitting right beside me.

How great would it be to achieve your desired body without even leaving the comforts of your own home? How proud would you feel if you attained that perfect six-pack without the need of gym? Well, now you can find out.

These dumbbells are just what you need to start up your own gym at home. By owning a set you can exercise whenever you want, at a time that suits you, not your gym. For those of you who are self-conscious, you don't have to worry about exercising infront of people and fretting over what they think. You can have privacy to push yourself to your own limits without any competition.

Using dumbbell sets are a great form of exercising. They build your resistance and strength, whilst toning and conditioning your body - and boosting your metabolism. What more do you want? It's the perfect way to fight back at those `Christmas Pounds` and put you on the right road to achieving that perfectly toned body.
