With a hot cuppa beside me and a few minutes to spare before zipping down to the kitchen to make dinner for the Mr and me, I have decided to quickly update my pilot's log with the latest happenings of

Yup. As per usual, I will begin my pilot's blog with an apology. If it were a friend or a lover, it would have long since left me as I have been ignoring it something dreadful.

Eons. Ages. It's been forever since I had a play on this website. I feel ashamed that I haven't logged on in what seems like months. What can I say, I have just undergone a major uphevel.

I have recently had several thousand (oh yes...I mean thousands) leaflets printed to use for a marketing strategy that a friend suggested I try. As you can imagine, I spent lots of money on this lot of leaflets and avenues of distribution. I am sad (depressed, horrified, annoyed) to report that this was a very crappy way to spend money. It was a plan to try to drive more traffic to my website and it seems that it has gone terribly wrong. My website hits have not increased beyond their usual daily number and this makes my heart just a little bit sad.

I feel like I have been MIA for quite some time now. Thought it only proper to give a tiny update on the latest developments of Gee How Quaint and my life as it tries to comfortably fit around it.
Right oh, on the personal side of things, I have found a part time job that is practically perfect in everyway. Honestly, I can't even tell you how jazzed I am about this development. It was a gutting realisation to find out that I needed a bit of cash on the side (mostly due to house renovations), so it was off to interviews and all the fun that entails. I did strike it lucky, as I now work two days a week for a huge, gigantic travel company. And oh yes, I have been cheeky enough to list my business on the email bulletin board. I think that was a slick move, as my site received three times the amount of hits from that simple action. Because most of the staff travel quite a lot, I have been getting wonderful feed back about my products and sometimes my lunch sessions turn into discussions with my work mates about how to get my business noticed by the world.
