I'm pleased to say that after talking about it I finally got my act together and started on 30DC stuff last night. Well until nearly 3am to be honest but it is addictive once you start. I still have some more catching up to do but am really looking forward to learning lots more useful tips. I am already making full use of my new knowledge of Twitter!

Anyway, for the time being I had better get back to some work that I was supposed to be doing las… Continue

I thought I would write a bit about the networking event I went to this Tuesday. It was run by the local Chamber of Commerce in a local hotel. I've been to networking events before but although I have had several emails before about the Chamber of Commerce ones I've never actually been to one. The venues vary but as this one happen to be very local to me I thought why not give it a go. They are expensive at £28.50 but I thought I would splash out. Well it did include a 2 course lunch as well as… Continue
