Being charged twice for one meal at a restaurant! Why would I have agreed to pay for one meal twice, like my bank is currently telling me I did?! GRRR.

Start of the school holidays so I can spend more time with my kids.

Start of the new term so I can spend more time with my clients.

Cooking for friends and family; especially if we have grown it ourselves.

Restaurants with good food AND good service.

Receiving full marks on our client satisfaction questionnaires.

I’d like to Whoop! about:

* Twitter – for connecting me with lots of nice people I’d otherwise never meet.

* 02 Broadband – for having an 0800 UK-based tech support line, not keeping me on hold waiting for an advisor, sending out a free part and fixing my problem!

* My local sub Post Office. An essential little business service centre – with stationery that’s cheaper than Staples & co.

* The person who actually waved to say ‘thank you’ when I pulled aside to let their car pass yesterday!

The (metaphorical) hometime bell at 5.30pm on a Friday has on occasion made me whoop out loud!

I get quite a few cold calls every day. It is very rate that any of them have a good approach. A poor approach kills off the opportunity to have your product or service considered. But it must pay off somewhere otherwise why do it?

Just wondering WHO would pay for such a thing?

Example – someone rings us up and asks for “The business owner”

It’s standard procedure to say that SHE is not around at the moment and can I help.

“I want to speak to someoneone who deals with your photocopier”

“Oh we don’t have one of those – we are a web based business”

“OK thanks bye”

NOT very persistent..

One thing though from today is people not giving me space in the swimming pool, there is plenty of room, move over and stop kicking me when I go past or Im going to get angry and drown you!!!!!

having to be trained on software I already pay for as a service. It should be in the cost or the software should be usable out of the box.
