Well, I got a little bit carried away today and told everyone I know about the business, including a couple of randoms on the street.  Now I know I shouldn't have done this but I have been really good for such a long time and the front page has sent me over the edge a bit, its sort of like Christmas again, when I still believed!  I can finally see things coming together and it is just too exciting for words (or not as the case maybe!).  Anyway silence has never been one of my stronger points.

The best thing was when I got mum to have a look at the website last night and she thought we were back to square one has someone else was using the name.  Now that was priceless, okay maybe she was just saying it to pep up my ego and make me feel good but the truth be told I don't think she had actually thought that far in advance.  The impression she gave was more one of shock as she didn't think I could have possibly done that myself, to be fair neither did I.  Now you may have a little look in the future, or stumble across it and think actually it isn't that good, but I still think credit where it is due.  After all I am just a broken down old Secretary with an idea!

I just hope it works otherwise I will be left with egg on my face and I really hate it when that happens!  If so, which it won't! (positive, positive, positive)  I will carry on living by the mantra only the risk takers ever get anywhere in life and better to try and fail than to never have tried at all!....... well that is what I have been telling myself for god knows how long so we shall see. 

If it does fail however I will have to have some strong words with Mark for making me set up this blog in the first place and documenting every thought that pops into my head.......... hang on a minute, maybe it is just his way of trying to work out what I really am going on about!  I love the Epiphany's that keep popping into my head every five minutes since I started setting up this blog (and a couple of secret other ones...... ahem!)

Well after a few dry runs over the last few months I have tackled the front page today (in between blogging!) and I think it is looking pretty fine and dandy even if I do say so myself.  Okay so it needs some nice new pictures and maybe a little tweaking here and there but its where I need to be at this moment in time, which is good.  Was a bit unsure for a while but left the room a couple of times and came back in and it doesn't look too bad.  Now I have a serious amount of content to get onto it which is going to take time.

I have decided I need a laptop for all this though, currently working on an old Dell desktop which has definitely seen better days and decides to break and pause midway through every little bit of the process, which is more than just a bit of a nightmare.  I am actually more of a desktop lover myself but I think all this blogging (sorry I meant website building....) is going to require a bit more freedom to move around.

Oh well back to work tomorrow and an early start as those uniforms are still waiting to be ironed!..... no rest for the wicked.

We have finally come up with a name for the business, phew!...... I cannot tell you how long that has taken me, seriously.  I cannot believe the amount of amazing names I have stumbled upon that have been snapped up by random search engines trying to make a quick buck!  I must have spent the last month tapping in random combinations of words and I am physically drained.  One of the said search engines were kind enough to offer me the web domain I really really really wanted for $1600........ yes I really wanted it but hey not $1600 dollars much.


Sadly as I was so tired of it all I thought my enthusiasm had peaked and I was going off the idea.  I decided to just pull a random name out of the ideas hat, albeit pretty great ideas hat and I was back on it with a vengeance.   Or so I thought as that was when I discovered blogging which is something I haven't come across before, once again this halted me in my tracks as I have spent most of the day in amazement of the many bloggers varying from the fabulous mums to the well to be fair there are some pretty crazy oddballs out there!......


Needless to say I have had lots of fun creating alias' but maybe it really is time to crack on....... I intend to go live on the 6th of December, although I know this is pretty optimistic as I have never built a website in my life (which in itself is a challenge, did I say challenge!.... what am I getting myself into) and there is a lot of work alongside it and content to compile not to mention cooking and tweaking of the old culinary skills....... oh and did I mention I work part time!


Why did I start this blog again?  Answers on a postcard..........
