View Article  It's time for our Honeymoon!

Mary's been busy getting everything ironed and packed so we can go off tomorrow on Honeymoon for a week, Mary's Dad is house-sitting for us, we'll be sunning it in Turkey, can't wait although I had a little fit when Mary read out this morning that the resort we're going to wants me to wear long trowsers for dinner, I didn't wear long trowsers to get married!

Anyway, over that now and looking forward to it, booked the car a holiday in the Exeter Airport car park, that was more expensive than I thought it would be but hey-ho, everyone likes getting ripped off in Britain, why do I do everything for everyone else at rock bottom prices? I dunno.

WOL is getting on with things today, it's great when Julian's at home, the websites benefit alot from the work he does but I understand why he can't be available for me all the time at the moment, if you need to know look at his son Luke's blog and try not to cry!

As I was saying though, he's done some great work on one of our main sites today www.e-jurassic.co.uk which is going to serve as a sort of central hub, directing people to the other sites that we have that are more relevant to their enquiries. Eventually the network is going to be huge, the rest of the world just haven't spotted us yet.

Talking to a Solicitor friend of mine about taking over all of our Legal Services website work, he's going to give us a decent commission and he'll get all the work/enquiries from our sites such as Divorce and www.DeedofVariation.org.uk etc. I'm going to have a meeting with him when I get back from holidays to sort out the contract, if it works well we might expand it all further. I'll keep all the work from www.Wills.org.uk for myself for the time being though and everything will have to stop if we sell Freehit.

Going into the house now to socialise with mum & dad, they're coming over to say goodbye to us, I think Liam wants me to go to the chippy for fish & chips too so might as well close the office now, a little earlier than usual but i'm in holiday mode so you'll all have to live with that! Byeeeeeeee.

View Article  Weymouth beat Hamble

Saturday was a long drive for a game of hockey, all the way to Hamble, just outside Southampton. Weymouth 2nd XI were fielding quite a few players who haven't been picked for the team previously so was quite inexperienced at that level, in the car on the way up we were discussing tactics to keep the goal count low as we thought we were in for a bit of a thrashing. Hamble game is always a bit physical and, in general, they're older, more experienced players so up against our young lads we thought they'd be quite a force to be reckoned with.

However, 10 minutes into the match it became apparent that our youngsters were gelling very well and it wasn't long until we had a goal to show for our efforts. we won 3-1 in the end and we were very pleased with ourselves for such a good and unexpected result/performance.

Yesterday was Liam's birthday, he's 13 now, we got him an iPod Nano which he loves, dead cool bit of kit. I'm busy trying to get all his music on it whilst he's in school. I took him and a couple of friends out for Pizza last night, they were all surprisingly good and a fun night was had by all.

On the work front, I went down to Exmouth for a meeting with a few members of the local Business community on Tuesday morning, that was a worthwhile trip and have come back with a new client or two. Must do some e-mailing this morning. On the way back took some photos in Budleigh Salterton, pretty little place. Also been working on our online Wills website and promoting it on Twitter, see how that goes.

View Article  Another week over

Managed to keep myself busy this week, Julian's done a good bit of work on a couple of sites for WOL and I've been adding the finishing touches, watch this space for our assualt on the Jurassic Coast brand, here we come!

This weeks work was mainly on two sites though, one for the Isle of Purbeck in general and one specifically to do with Swanage.

Our new sales lady, Vivky has brought in a few good orders this week but I think I out-sold her on my telesales attack of Exmouth accommodation places. Our Exmouth site is building gradually and will be a force to be reckoned with by next summer.
