Fight off your paper dragons!

As we celebrated St George's Day on Friday, how many of you were fighting your own little dragons ... PAPER DRAGONS!
Let me help you fight your paper dragons (and whatever other animals you are making out of your paper piles) ... its nice and simple!
  • What is there to lose ... NOTHING!
  • What is there to gain ... EVERYTHING! Space ... Time ... and Peace from all those paper animals!
I will come around for a free 30 minute consultation and assess how long it will take me to fight your paper piles and give you a quote for the work. I will then come around with my sword (aka hole punch) and shield (aka files) to do battle with your paper animals!!!

New Tax Year ... New You?

The new tax year has started and this means some big changes for personal and business finances! All this change after a lovely long four day weekend!
So why not make the change and have longer weekends and shorter weeks - by utilising the help of a Freelance Secretary you get to have all the hassle taken out of your life (and none brought into it ... such as sick pay, holiday pay or staff parties - although invites are appreciated!)
A freelance secretary is exactly that - a secretary with hourly rates who can come in and help with the workload, but not being a permanent member of staff will not be paid to sit around when there is not enough work to do!
If you want to know exactly how I can help you to achieve a better work/life balance please get in touch!

Easter is upon us - but will all your eggs hatch at once?

Did you know that Pagan traditions gave us the English word "Easter" which comes from the word "Eostre". The Anglo-Saxon word for April was "Eostre-monath" (the month of openings). Bede, the English monastic historian, noted that the month was named after the Anglo-Saxon goddess Esostre. Rituals related to the goddess Eostre focus on new beginnings, symbolized by the Easter egg, and fertility, which is symbolized by the hare (or Easter bunny). So now is the time to focus on new beginnings – maybe a beginning to a new outlook on your working life ... maybe utilising the services of a helping hand ... maybe me?
