  • It seems to be coming together

    Well i guess things are starting to look up for a change. The businesses are doing well, and things are looking bright for the future. Looking back on last year i think we quite literally making things up as we went along, we were learning every day, and even though its only been one year it seems almost second nature now to do what we now do day by day.

    I am still struggling to focus at times, i sometimes feel under pressure and with questions like “how am i going to pay this bill..” running through my head. But i seem to make ends meet when its really needed.

    Im really lucky to have the people around me that i have. My girlfriend Gemma is an absolute saint – i really dont know how she does it, but she puts up with me day by day and still tells me she loves me even though im clearly affecting her, and her life with my conquest to become some kind of successful internet entrepreneur.

    Its the kind of situation where you start questioning what your doing – “who am i kidding, i can earn £250 a week doing some design job in some company and pay my bills” – then something stamps down on you and wont let you make that decision, and i think that is just the back of my mind taking over for a bit and not allowing me to throw away what we have, and are achieving.

    When you have people to feed, and animals to look after, your priorities change (or at least they should anyway) and these people and animals become the most important things in your life because in different ways they depend on you, and feeling like you are letting them down, and making them unhappy is the worst feeling in the world.

    But every time, that feeling comes over me and will not allow me to give up. It also makes me feel slightly more focused – and just makes me more determined.

    By the end of this year, however i manage to pull it off – i will be able to provide a better life for my family, even if that means working 20 hour days 7 days a week – i will do it! Hey, at least it will give me time to grow my afro.

    I have to go to bed now, as its late and i need to continue my quest tomorrow bright and early!

  • Long awaited update

    Hi guys and girls! I am very sorry for not updating my blog for such a long time, my dad has been really busy with his tippy tappy work and mum has been busy on her one too – mum plays with little people on her screen, its like TV but she makes them walk about and set fire to their kitchens. Plus my dad said his phone wasn’t working right, but here are some new pics of me on my adventures!

    ReaddyyyyWoohoo walkies!

    I have been doing lots of walking with mum and dad, and i have been meeting lots of new doggy friends. We go for a walk after we have been to grandma’s house, we go on the park with jazzmine who is one of my bestist friends now. She is about 4 million time bigger than me but we play all the time now. When she see’s other doggys on the park she always protects me and once this nasty doggy went for me and bited me and jazz jumped inbetween us. I met some of jazz’s friends too, they are VERY fast and very mental! I Liked them!!

     

    We have also been playing with my other grandma’s doggys, the ginger nuts! Which includes my BESTIST friend in the whole wide world… Keira!!!!! I am nearly as big as her now too! Ruby doo still growls at me but mum says its becasue she is the oldest and that i am too “in her face” or something.

    Im not sure what that means, how can i be inside her face? Silly humans!

    Poser!Near our house!

    My dad says that becasue of where we live, we get more rain?! Im not the biggest fan of rain and water, my mummydog and daddydog both love it.. so does keira.. but im not sure i like it jsut yet. I keep going near it, but it is cold and i get my pretty white sock wet!

    Anyway, dad is bugging me for the tippytapper so i best let him have it. Its ok, i will take some of his socks as a trade.

    TTFN

    Lots of love!

    Byeee!

  • Proof that Starbucks coffee is overpriced and tastes like shit

    Some of you may remember a blog entry i made a while back about i hated starbucks and they they are a rip off – some people who view my blog disagreed..

    Well now i have proof!

    Starbucks is peddling the worst coffee at the highest prices according to a survey of the big three coffee houses on Britain’s high streets.

    A report published today calculates that choosing the world’s largest coffee chain instead of an independent shop for your cappuccino three mornings a week will cost you £126 a year.

    The Which? Magazine survey did not stop at lamenting the cost of a Starbucks, it also placed the global brand at the bottom of its taste test. It concluded that when it came to too much water in an Americano and a surfeit of froth on a cappuccino, “Starbucks was the worst offender”.

    Ha, i knew it. Down with starbucks!

    I told you emma! 😛

  • T-Mobile suck donkey balls

    I have been with TMobile for about a year and a half now, and they have progressivly got worse and worse in the customer support department.

    Ok, so i never pay my bill on time, and yes i have been cut off once or twice (or maybe 10 times) due to non payment – its not my bastard fault!

    Do they think i ENJOY not being able to use my phone? NO! I am self employed, and dont get paid every friday like i used to – so sometimes im late paying?! Whats the big deal?

    I am cut off at the moment, and this time they have turned off all incoming, outgoing calls AND disallowed any texts from getting to me. I recon i have really pissed them off this time haha. I has severly inconvenienced me due to not being able to call the people i need to call for my job and not being able to be reached by people who need me.

    They should look after their customers more, be a bit more understanding to people in my position – AND they should allow me to lower my contract if i want to.

    Instead they tell me that i need to be on that package cos of my usage (why do i have £100 or more’s worth of credit left on flext EVERY MONTH then?) and that lowering it would cost me more money!

    They are getting scrapped in favor of a cool PAYG deal from 02 – top up £30 a month and recieve UNLIMITED texts.. Or top up less and recieve like 500 texts..

    And if i cant pay, they wont cut me off or hasstle me on the phone – they just let me get on with it.

    Tmobile suck, and will feel my wrath one day when i buy them out and shut them down.

    Olmobile – the future 😀
