Breakfast

Since I joined 4networking - I have been to more breakfasts than you can shake a stick at..I have one in a casino tomorrow and have to take my passport, one in Longbridge on Tuesday and one in Cirencester on Wednesday. The Cirencester one will be good as I am taking a hamper down with me so that one of the ladies can prepare a hamper to raffle off for charity. Talking about charity - I was speaking to a chap this morning about a pantomime Snow White & The 3 Little Business People (a spoof) and how it would be great to have some snow. As a result of our chat, I have been speaking to my friends at Snow Business and although they cannot donate snow they are sending me 4 samples of frost snow and irridescent flake - hopefully this might be enough, if not then I will buy a box.

I have also been chatting to Media Mad who produce the magazine Hospitality & Events North and I shall be advertising with them in time for Confex. I need to write my ad and put more of a corporate slant on it - it is currently geared for weddings. Once again, I have negotiated the fee and saved myself £50+VAT...hurrah.

Since updating my blog last, I have now started twittering on twitter but looked today and found that I had a follower who was rather obscene so I have reported them for spam and blocked them..don't these people understand that wedding planning is not about sex therapy (this is a polite way of putting it..I hate crudeness).

I am feeling more positive every day and feel that I made the right decision joining 4Networking as I can network online etc thus meeting more people..I can now see my business moving forward. The power of 4N knows no bounds as I have already recommended Linda Davey as someone was asking about a red wedding dress and how they wanted one made...let's hope the person contacts her.

Its disappointing weather today - I thought it was going to be sunny and yet it is rather gloomy and when I got up at the unearthly hour of 6.30am it was rather foggy too. I shall be up even earlier tomorrow as I need to be at the casino (strange place for a breakfast meeting I know) for 8am so I shall have to hop on the bus and then pick up another bus to Broad Street as I don't particularly fancy walking to the venue..I know I am lazy..but I won't have had any breakfast other than a mug of coffee and I will be flaking out.

Had to smile today too as a fellow planner has now started using skype only she has no microphone and I can't hear her..she needs a headset like mine. Skype is wonderful and I have started using it for all my calls..mobiles are not free though but I have found £10 credit goes along way as the calls can cost less than 4p a minute - calls to landlines are free which is fantastic.

I have started looking at my coursework again and have made a few notes but nothing is down on paper and nothing has been sent to my tutor.
