Plans

I am sorry for not updating yesterday, time ran away with me in more ways than one.

Yesterday I received a magazine called Gift Focus which is aimed at giftshops, however, it contains some interesting and useful information and yet more contacts. So sometime was spent reading that and I have bookmarked a section about copycats and what is to be done about them.

I also received two complimentary tickets to Taste of Business which is a business networking event taking place on 9 July as part of the Taste of Birmingham celebration, I guess that I will have to buy some crowns to exchange for food but I shall wait and see. I had initially thought of inviting my friend but as she is no longer a friend, I am now left with a spare ticket.

Today, I posted my booking stand for a wedding fair in September, it will be the first fair that I have done (although I have visited loads) so I am already feeling a little nervous..I have asked for a chair as well as a table for my stand because my back goes into spasm if I stand for too long and then I am unable to move :(

I also wrote to the charity that I am currently involved with saying that I don't think it appropriate that I should continue to support them - I am rather tired of being told that I am organising events and yet I am never told when planning meetings are taking place and then I am just sidelined as though my time and expertise don't matter, they are now wondering why events don't take place. I was using some of my contacts to obtain items for a charity auction and feel that my efforts have been wasted and I really don't think it fair on the people who have agreed to donate a signed book or whatever to be left hanging around waiting for a what if because the go-ahead hasnt been given..I just hate wasting my own and other people's time.

Today, I need to clear my cache of cookies because I am still unable to view my new website as my cookies take me to the old site which is mightily frustrating although I cannot understand why that should be when the url is unchanged although the web contact has. No doubt I will crack it eventually, the same goes for the POP3 account with 123 as well.

I am feeling rather drained today, I didnt sleep too well last night and woke up following a bad dream, it frightened me because I thought I was being attacked and yet no-one was there but I did here screams and shouts from some inconsiderate neighbours who were stilly partying at 2.45am. I need to see what I can get done today, my flat still looks rather untidy despite me having a bit of a clear out, the thing is I just can't get motivated to do it as I would rather be doing other things.

Well I suppose I had better go back to reading Gift Focus and maybe find some unusual wedding favours etc.
