morning,

some great orders there - sounds like the business is taking off! :j

And with proof reading your figures are on the door are going to look gooood this week. Well done.

This Friday's won't have the proofreading numbers in, I have to submit my invoice by the 5th to get paid on the 7th,I think (or nearest working day to), but hopefully a week on Friday will be looking pretty good

I was supposed to finish shift at 11am today, but the work kept coming through and I finally threw in the towel 10 pages into a 57-page focus group on pensions with a lot of missed words in it, saying I'd pick it up tomorrow morning.

The European lady's order has been checked over and sent back to her for approval (she hadn't realised VAT in the UK was 20% not 21%, so her figures were slightly out), which came through about 4pm

Tomorrow's jobs:

• Finish proofreading work and complete any more that comes through
• Pack and post orders
• Pay tax bill
• Photograph and list tiara headbands and email customer they were ordered for
• Do new links listing and email the customer wanting some
• I should get a very large stock delivery tomorrow - that needs booking on and the two customers with very large orders in it need contacting to say it's here
• Order stock for European lady's order

I'm sure there's more, but that's all that I can think of right now.

How is it August already??

NOW we're cooking with gas :D:D:D And given that I thought the transcription and proofreading would never even get close to matching what I was taking out of the bead shop each month, I am utterly delighted to be submitting an invoice for £1297.54 + VAT to the company today!!!!

Just finished my proofreading shift - I was doing really well until the last file, it's always a warning sign when what should be a straightforward one-person file of just over an hour comes in split between three people...! Anyway, I think that's got me to my first £100-worth for August, though I've had to cut back a bit as Mr Minx is getting a bit grumpy about the number of evening shifts I signed up to, so I've cut back to three a week, Sunday, Tuesday and Friday.

I wonder if my spread betting account is going to give me a free bet again for my birthday this year? Just in case, I think I should actually do some research in advance rather than doing what I normally do and buying £1 a point on the FTSE 100. One to think about over the next couple of weeks.
