It occurs to me that in a matter of days, it will have been two years since I left my job selling bathrooms and started my new career selling sofas. That time has been marked with stress, frustration, aggravation and yet, rewarding achievements and a sense that sometimes, pig-headed determination…
R & R
It’s time for some much needed me time. I have a week off work, a rare pleasure, and one I feel I’ve earned, given the long slog of the past few weeks. I don’t have anything planned, save for going into London next Friday. That’s about it. This might be a good…

Working Whilst Sick

Feeling Rough
I was going to make a video today (I still might), but right now, at this exact moment, I feel pretty darn awful. A colleague of mine came to work with a heavy cold and, as per the norm, this has spread. My nose is running, I feel foggy, and…
