I'm all on my own in the office and my Mrs has just let me know she's got her first ongoing client for the Virtual Assistant business she started when she was made redundant at the start of the year.
This means we can pay the mortgage again:)
Just had to share the good news -
Anyone else had anything nice happen to them or good news today?

I've got a trip to London this weekend, built around an awards ceremony at canary wharf. And that sounds a lot more exciting in my head than it did there.

I drove in today. Wafted more like, sitting on warmed leather seats, R4 on, cruise on most of the way, and arrived without the need for a recovery period, coffee & strip wash in the disabled loo. Then the manglement meeting went on into the afternoon so a free lunch arrived. Lovely.
Tomorrow? Back on 2 wheels and another jostle at getting out of the 40s in the Stats thing. Gawd I hate that table.

Small companies or freelancers that need a little help with things like spreadsheets, market/competitor reasearch, webcontent, etc, but don't have the time or skills to do it themselves and there's not enough to justify employing someone to do it full time.
They can buy the time of a virtual assistant to do a specific one-off task or take on some of their day to day stuff, leaving them time to concentrate on their business.
She's working at the London Marathon in a couple of weekends too.

Nailed an application for a job I really want. I really need it as well, but I'm massively confident after this application. The supporting statement bit had availability for 4,000 characters, and I hit 3,990 without editing. It's a sign.
The job will be mine. My bank manager demands it, and I want it. So it will be.Bike/Train commuter: Brompton S2L - "Machete"
