Don't let your love for your job wither ...

When St Valentine's Day lurks everyone thinks of showing their love to someone else! Why not show some love to yourself?
Are you either working more but enjoying it less or just not enjoying most days at your work place?
Are you constantly thinking about all the other options life has to offer?
We spend a huge portion of our life at work so why not make that time as professionally and personally rewarding and fulfilling as possible? And at the same time having time to enjoy life outside of work! I personally love the work that I do and it makes my day when my clients see the finished article - the perfect working environment and systems! You have nothing to lose, and potentially a great deal to gain, by spending some time exploring what I can do for either your home or business office. You can then spend time exploring your interests! My belief is that everyone should love what they do at work.

Don't be floored by your paperwork ...

Today sees the start of the Six Nations Rugby tournament - we will see a lot of players floored by other players all the spirit of the great game.
But you are working and not playing rugby so don't be floored by the amount of paperwork in your life - call for the help of a sub ... a freelance secretary who will come in sort all of the paperwork - hourly rates are available so you will not be floored by the cost - but you may be floored by the finished result! Go on give me a try!

Bounce into your work like a rabbit?

They say Chinese Year 2011 will be a placid year, very much welcomed and needed after the ferocious year of the Tiger (2010). We should go off to some quiet spot to lick our wounds and get some rest after all the battles of the previous year. But being placid doesn't mean you can't bounce into action like a rabbit. Get ready for the year ahead by planning your year. Whilst planning your year - think about your staffing levels - if you do not have any staff and cannot afford them then I am a very affordable alternative. Payable by the hour I will work whatever hours are needed - no holiday pay, sick pay or need to invite me to the summer party!
By the way I am worth hiring – as a Monkey – “Very clever, but mischievous. Love a challenge and can wriggle out of difficult situations by thinking through difficult problems. Highly successful and well-liked.”

The end of the tax year is nigh

Time is running out - The tax man cometh!
Your self assessment papers need to be with the tax office by 31 January 2011. I provided my tax paperwork to my accountant and he was delighted with the way I presented them to him and wished all his other clients were the same. Well I can offer this service to whoever wants it and make all accountants happier people! So why not make a change in the near future and utilise the help of a Freelance Secretary. A freelance secretary is exactly that - freelance ... 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! Keep me in mind and drop me a line if you want to chat about how I can help you in the future. Don't drown in your workload - let me help.

Twelfth Night - but are they decorations or filing?

Tonight is Twelfth Night when all Christmas Decorations should be removed so as not to bring bad luck upon the home. If decorations are not removed on Twelfth Night, they should stay up all year.
This does not mean though that if you have any paperwork that resembles Christmas decorations that these can stay where they are all year! Make this the year that you have an efficient office that looks good and not just because of your paper decorations! Give me a call and see how my magical filing skills will brighten your day!

Happy New Year ... back to the grindstone?

Today is the beginning of the New Year and the time to make New Year resolutions. A good way of making resolutions is by taking a look back at what you have done and make resolutions based on this. Do you want to go back to the grindstone? No?
One easy resolution to resolve this is to have a different way of working – a nice clean way with everything where it should be – and this is something I can help with. So New Year Resolution Number one is “Contact freelance secretary Christine Scally and see exactly what she can do to make my life easier.”

Seasons Greetings to you all ...

I want to wish all my clients current and future a very Merry Christmas and Good Luck for 2011. It has been great working with you this year and I look forward to working with you again next year. Those of you who have not had the pleasure of my secretarial services please check out my testimonials and contact me to see how I can help you with your business (be it your own personal business, small company or sole trader).

Have a great Christmas.

Christine
