Long time no blog!

November 20th, 2008

Well I must say I am not one of those people who spend a lot of time writing a blog as I just do not have the time!

I have had a really busy couple of weeks, first I was accepted as an ambassador for The Princes Trust, which I am so pleased about as I get to meet other people who are thinking of setting up their own business and tell them my story.

As someone who didn’t have a very productive background, after finishing school I kind of went off the rails it will be great to show people who have found themselves in a similar situation that they can be self sufficient and run their own business.

The reason I set up my own business was that after commuting to Bristol to go to college 3 times a week I decided that there was no way I was going to do that 5 times a week to get to work! My children would never see me as I would have to go out before they were even up, and may not get home until after they had gone to bed. And lets face it why work for someone else when you can keep all the money you earn and choose your own hours? I mean if I want to go to work in the middle of the night then I can!

Anyway, the Princes Trust, along with The North Somerset Enterprise agency really helped and encouraged me with my ideas. And I’d like to say I could have done it without them, but I don’t think I could have.

So tomorrow I am off to Sherwood Forest to a place called Go Ape, where you apparently get to swing from the trees and stuff like that. Great fun, especially on the coldest and windiest day of the year! I just hope the snow doesn’t reach there and I get stranded in the North! It doesn’t bear thinking about.
