Hubby works for me now!
Hubby quit his call centre job, and now works for me.
Now, I can pull out my whip, and get him working for a change!
No, not really, just joking.
We are in a position where I am trying to expand, so it will be useful to have his labour available to fill in until I can get a new employee started. Also I can use him as a fill-in if someone is sick. Should take away a bit of stress for me.

Small business tool
The best businesses to have are ones that allow the customer to pay cash, or by debit etc. The way this is an advantage is that you have no waiting time for the funds to arrive, nor do you have the situation where a client might not pay on time - the goods are delivered, the customer pays, simple as that.
The costs of setting up are not too bad, either, as you can now get a receipt printer at reasonable cost, whether it be one that uses heat sensitive paper, or what they call an 'impact printer', where the initial cost is slightly lower, but the running costs are very slightly more. Couple a unit like this up to a scanner that can pull the prices off by using the bar code, and you can even have a single employee serving masses of customers.

Job Searching Ideas
A few years ago, the act of job searching was a very local process. You would have to contact a particular agency in your own town or city, and hope that a local employer had chosen to register their vacancy with that same particular agency. Now, with computers involved, the search can be done of much larger databases, and it also allows for an online job search being a practical, if not essential, way to proceed.
There is no need to pore through a massive list of the latest vacancies, you can narrow down your search by location as well as job category. Much more convenient.

Hubby's boat

We went out today in the freezing cold wind to look at Hubby's old boat (new to him though!) and he took some photo's of the fittings that are mounted under the boat, and that if they fail, will allow the water in.
He intends making sure that the fittings are sound, and that he will get no problems with them.
He is thinking now of taking the whole of next summer working on the boat, instead of getting it into the water before he is sure it is safe, or at least as safe as it can be.

Floor Tiles Come Of Age
It is only a few years ago that the floor tiles in most homes were of a linoleum or other plastic type material. But the trend now seems to be for tiles that are more natural looking. The stone type of tile with a rough-ish textured finish is well established as a fashion, and I suppose this has come about because of the techniques that are now available to create these tiles. They are strong enough to be put onto a floor that has some give, or movement, yet will not crack like older options could do. That is not to say that they are indestructible, but they are certainly strong enough to stand up to the normal to heavy loads that will be encountered in a domestic environment.

Getting Good Deals
We all want good deals, but it is really hard to get them. The plain fact is, the retailers pay about the same for items from the middleman, or, maybe in the case of the larger retailers such as circuit city, they buy direct from the manufacturer, so are able to make more profit, while at the same time selling at what are cheaper prices to the end consumer. It really can be a win-win situation.
