A news report on the BBC this morning got me thinking about people who buy counterfeit dresses from China in attempt to save some money as they refuse the pay the full price for a Maggie Sottero dress or whatever. Here in the UK it is an offence to sell counterfeit goods but it is not an offence to buy them, however, if you were in France or Italy then it is also an offence to buy them and those buying them could face a jail term. This may seem extreme but theft is theft. I think they should bring in similar laws here too as that may be a deterrent.
Yesterday, I received my mark for my first assignment for my Diploma in Event Planning and I was more than pleased - let's hope the A+ heralds the start of similar marks for other assignments. I admit that I am passionate about organising events and have already considered studying at Leeds Metropolitan University (part time) for a degree in Event Management because I want to be able to organise massive rock concerts and the like (I never think small LOL).
Today, I have been asked to help recruit people for the newly formed Federation of Event & Wedding Planners which will be akin to the Federation of Small Businesses - this is being set up by a friend and fellow wedding planner and an ex student of the wedding planning course who runs his own very successful business out in Gran Canaria (I could learn a lot from him). I am looking forward to this as it will also open up doors for me LOL. Why do I always seek out the opportunities?
I must remember to make a note of my blogspot log in details as it took me an age this morning to log in.
