Blow away the cobwebs...

I was cursing my mouse this morning for not working properly, until I opened it up and found about three months worth of dust inside the poor thing. It is now running like a dream!

It's just as important to clear out the mental cobwebs and I've recently discovered a great way of doing this - netwalking.

Led by the very inspiring Elizabeth Cairns of Amovita, netwalking is a great way to interact with other self-employees and swap tips and advice on everything from SEO to how to pitch your business in one-minute. The bonus is that it all takes place in the fresh air and beautiful surroundings of Richmond Park. If you like the sound of this, then it out at: http://www.amovita.co.uk/netwalking.htm - not only is it invigorating, but you can still say you're working!!

Your life history in six words

Just heard something really cool on BBC Radio 4's Today programme. Smith Magazine, a US-publication, asked readers to submit their life story in six words. The results have been made into a book 'Not Quite What I Was Planning' and the magazine is now looking for submissions for its next six-word memoir book.

Here are two I heard on the programme this morning...

"Found true love, married someone else"

"Wasn't born a redhead, fixed that"
