Friends, meerkats, all of you, lend me your ears, it’s Meerkat Muse time! Work it… Work it Real Good No, I am not shaking my booty or gyrating my ass, or thrusting my hips. I am quite literally referring to work. Circumstances have been quite tough of late, due to a colleague being off long-term […]
Believe it or not, this post relates to both my professional career as a bathroom sales consultant, and my efforts to promote my book. Lately, I have been looking at how I can help my store attract more customers, and I am always looking at how to promote my book. Accomplishing both in a way […]

We’re back! What’s been goin’ on over the last couple of weeks? It’s Local Election Day! On the 4th of May, voters in the UK took to the polls in local elections. These don’t usually have a seismic impact on the political landscape, but they can be an opportunity for the people to send a […]
