Bank holidays - a circle of crowds?

Do you find you leave a crowded work area to travel to a crowded beach only to return to a crowded work area ...! It may not be a work area – it could be a back room at home – but whatever the scenario the feelings are the same! CROWDED CROWDED CROWDED ... Break the circle! Call in the help of this freelance secretary who positively loves bringing order to chaos! After a FREE 30 minute consultation we can work out how best I can help you and with my hourly rates and competitive prices I am certainly someone to get in touch with. Check out the testimonials if you want to see what I can do for you.

Did you know Bank Holidays were first introduced in the UK in 1871 by a banker who decided to close his bank and take the first Monday in May off work. Local competitors followed suit, taking days off over the traditional Easter period. A holiday revolution! This was later changed to include other dates.

Back to work with a smile!

After a lovely week on holiday I am back to work and still smiling since my first job this week is continuing with the filing of someone's paper mountains ... So is it time for you to get to work on your own paper mountain (whether it be bills or just “stuff”)? Do you find that avalanches of paperwork accumulate around you quickly these days? Stop the avalanches NOW! Call in the help of this Freelance Secretary who loves filing and sorting and you will be amazed by the difference just a few hours will make. I will set you up with the necessary working area and system. If you do not have the discipline to keep the avalanches at bay I will arrange to come in on a regular basis with my avalanche fighting kit (hole punch and stapler).
Does the image on the left above look familiar to you? Does this look like your working area? At work or at home? Are you looking over your shoulder for the hidden camera? Don't use the drawer of a nearby filing cabinet as a level for storing more stuff - or use any available box or flat surface .... Stop the bad habits now and start one good habit! Call me - I offer a FREE 30 minute consultation when we can meet up and you will find out how useful I will be! Your working environment could look like the picture on the far right. Remember the old saying "A change is a good as a holiday" so if you are not due a holiday yet, the change that will be made will be as good as a holiday! I promise!

It's time for a break ...

I am off to enjoy a week in Sunny Cornwall - a lot of rain has been forecast but it will just be liquid sunshine. It's amazing how your mindset changes when you are about to go on a holiday!
Why not use a freelance secretary to give you the opportunity to experience the perfect summer holiday?
Even in the current economic climate people need to have someone to help with their admin – or even just at this time of year someone to give them time away from the office!
With the summer holidays approaching many are wondering how they will deal with their time away from the office as they may not have sufficient cover in place to provide a back up whilst they take a well earned break. This is where freelance secretaries like me come into their own. Unlike employment or temp agencies I work on a completely flexible basis providing as much or as little cover as is needed – go on make that call and plan that break!
