There's still time . . .

The big day is just around the corner, but don't go into panic mode just yet! If you have any last minute presents to get then visit our website and have a browse. We have lots of items that will make great Christmas pressies, and there's still plenty of time to have it delivered before Christmas. This gives you time to get wrapping and relax and put your feet up, happy in the knowledge that for once you have been organised and everything is ready.

I know there are ups and downs with Internet shopping, especially as a last minute rush. This year I have done most of my shopping over the Internet. I have made use of the web and I have surfed from one site to another, comparing prices, inspiring ideas . . . and generally spending all my hard earned cash. Luckily, with all that surfing, I haven't come across any `cyber sharks,` so to speak. I know many people are dubious about them. One bite can either leave you slightly scratched, mildly wounded, or in a life threatening state, but if you get to know your sites, then you get know where the `sharks` linger and where it is safe to surf. This cyber metaphor can be used in many other contexts too.

Rest assured Cybercheckout is completely free from sharks. Imagine, if you will, a small island with blue, tranquil waters, crystal clear skies, and nothing but friendly dolphins, tortoises, and beautiful, fancy fish accompanying you while you surf . . . okay, I may be going off on a strange little tangent here, but I can assure you that you still have time to place your orders, and with our free delivery and 24 hour courier service, you'll still get it before Christmas.

So get surfing! The water's lovely. . .

Sweet and Sour . . .

There's no pleasing some people, I hear Drew exclaim from his corner of the office.

You can reach and stretch and bend as far backwards as you can for someone, but they're never happy. I hear you asking me what I'm talking about. Well, with five minutes left of my working day, I suddenly remember I have a blog to write, and what should happen to prompt me? Someone complained.

Now, I put this question to you. If you're on a healthy diet, what would you prefer in your tea, sugar or sweetener? Sugar, on one hand, is fattening and too much is bad for you. Sweetener, on the other, is supposed to be the substitute for sugar, but with all the chemicals in the ingredients is this any better?

I think not. But Marsh . . .

With all the sweeteners used up and finished in our kitchen, our poor Drew was sent on a mission to the shop to pick some up. He carefully selected what he thought to be the best brand off the shelf, a brand that he thought would keep his staff happy and the quality of work to its normal high standard, paid for it, brought it back, and what did he get in reply?

"I don't like that brand! Go get some more!"

Oh, what Drew has to go through to keep his staff sweet. And while he's on his shopping mission I might get him to buy us some chocolate fudge cake!!!

It's all to keep us happy, and happy staff provide a happy service . . .
