Cyber Trap . . .

It was kept very quiet. I hadn't even heard the faintest of whispers regarding this, and quite frankly I am shocked that it managed to sneak by without any mention what-so-ever! But there's no denying it, and there's certainly no escaping it! As everyday goes by, it creeps slowly closer. Never should you feel safe from it, and never should you let your guard down. It lurks around every corner, and in every shadow. Even if you think you managed to sneak by without alerting it, you will still feel shocked when it catches up with you and bites you on the . . . nose.

Yep, you guessed it! There's no escaping the dreaded Birthday Blog!!!

A very happy birthday to our very own

Father
.

The big day was on the 21st (I believe) and he was the same age as mother.

21


I'm sure you'll join everybody at Cybercheckout in raising your glasses once again to toast belated birthday wishes to father. I hope he had a wonderful day.

And on another note, all fans of our Facebook page and twitter (yes, we are making our presence known) may have noticed that I have started a Christmas countdown and daily suggested pressie ideas for those struggling as we get closer. So, you will also see, on the bottom of every blog, this same count. I hope it comes in useful for many customers out there . . . and help to build Christmas excitement at the same time. (I know I'm getting excited!)

In The Furthest Corners Of Gaa Gaa Land . . .


We've been very cozy in the office today. Beanz, the fish is a permanent resident in here (unfortunately his partner, Baked, departed from us about a month ago), and most days we are graced with the presence of Missy the dog. She usually spends her day running riot around the office, hunting for food, pleading to everyone with her big, beauful eyes, and generally doing doggy things in the only way a doggy knows best.

But today has been special. Today is a day that deserves celebration - and I'm talking BIG celebrations!

Welcome Back Sarah!!


Yes, today is Sarah's first day back from maternity leave. And not only is it Sarah's first day, but also little George's! He's been brought in for visits before now, but he hasn't had the joy of spending the entire day with us, and boy has he run amok! During the lunch hour he danced around the entire office. All my paperwork got kicked about left, right and centre! The only way to calm him was to feed him, and this was when we discovered the real persona of our Spiritual Guide. All that we knew about our Drew is a facade. He really speaks in `Goo Goo` language, and lives in the land of Gaa Gaa. Yes, yes, I know. It's shocking . . .but the proof we have here should have warned us all along time ago. This is where he likes to go and hide when he is having a bad day.

Another visit we had - something else to add to our little professional menagerie - was from two members of the Sylvanian Family. Flopsom and Jetsom (not their real names, but something that was quite fitting for the moment) were purchased from our good local pet store by our very own Beckster during the course of the day, and the fact they've already tried to make a break for it doesn't reflect on the way we work in this office.

Still, it all helps the world to revolve a little easier . . .

Beam Me Up Halogen Oven . . .


It's true! It's official! I warned everyone in a previous blog that they were invading us, but they all just laughed in this office. No one took me seriously, and now it is too late!

There's another one among us.

Another Halogen Oven!

It's smaller, but claims to have the exact same abilities as its other. And where as the other merely beamed my pasty away, this one looks pure evil. I'm going to wake up in the middle of the night with a halogen oven just glaring at me from the corner of my room!!

I'm frightened now! I know these Ovens are a much healthier cooking option, and I know my pasty was full of fat, but I only had the one! That's no reason to hunt me!

But despite the fact that I'm running around screaming "Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!", these ovens are worth serious consideration. They are healthy and energy efficient, and allow your food to keep its original, wonderful taste. They're friendly to the eye (they don't shoot laser beams that turn you to stone, promise), they're quick to cook, and easy to clean.

What more do you want in your kitchen . . . a robot!
