Office Furnitures

Many years ago, when we were moving to a permanent office, the person in charge of buying our office furniture when out to buy 2nd hand furnitures for everyone in the office from a business that was going out of business. Everyone in the office had 2nd hand furnitures except himself.. where he went out to buy a whole new set of desk and chairs and cabinets for himself, in his own little corner. Even the big boss had used furnitures.

It was very chaotic when all these took place, because he did what benefited mostly himself and his friend whose business was going out of business. I have nothing against used furnitures if they were of good quality but as soon as they got delivered, we knew immediately that these furnitures wasn’t going to last us a long time.. and the dimension weren’t even right for the office. So we were either having too huge a desk.. or too small .. there were no in betweens. The cabinets were creaky .. and the office chairs were in bad condition after several months.

Spending a good 10 – 12 hrs in the office, is what we all do.. alot.. sometimes even more. The office sometimes does seems to be our home more than our actual home. Therefore, it is very important.. that when one buys furnitures for the office, you’ll have to think of the person/s in the office.. and not just the price or the mass production you can get from your friendly neighborhood store.

Now you can purchase quality furniture online and you can choose from the huge range of office furnitures and even interior landscaping without the hassle of comparing prices from shop to shop. With live support for ordering and answering any kind of questions you may have, it is just as good as doing your shopping in a mall. They even accept paypal and all major credit cards, making it easy for you and safe for all your online transaction. With free delivery offered anywheres in UK, this place is definitely, better than your friendly neighborhood furniture store that charges you for every piece of furniture delivered.

Business Worth

Sometimes when i missed home, like this time of the year .. whereby Chinese New Year is round the corner, I wished we could up and leave for Asia. But having spent 8 yrs running a business.. and spending so many hours just to build a business, it is hard to let go. And if we do want to sell our business, we have course have to get a small business valuation done by professionals, that way, we know exactly what our business is worth. There are times, where we really would love to just do that, if it wasn’t because of our family values and that the man’s family are all here.

Positive Disciplining

Call me crazy.. but positive disciplining seems to be the hardest for all parents.. including me. I normally do not raise my voice at the brat.. the whole day.. and i can keep my cool.. right up till at midnite.. when she doesn’t wanna sleep. Yes.. and she tells you so… that’s the when I start raising my voice.. and she starts crying.. and says this to me .. every nite.. “yer not upposed to shout at meeee.. baaaawwwwahhhh!” and after all the crying.. and cleaning the tears and kissing good nites.. she would tell you to say.. “say sweet dreams” .. “say .. don’t let the bugs bite” .. and “say .. good nite.. sweetheart”. If we donch raised our voice.. by midnite.. it would be almost 2am.. before she would be too tired.. and sleep.. and that does not mean that at 2am.. we didn’t raised our voice either. So what does .. tired parents like us do..?? raise our voices early..!! *sigh*.. positive disciplining is HARD..!

Central Heating With Peace Of Mind

A few days ago, I wrote about gas central heating, and little did I know .. that a few days later, I could not have wished more that I had central gas heating at our store, because we ran out of oil.. and OILMAN was at a funeral and was not able to make it back in town till 5pm. Yes.. it sure turned cold really quick too. With oil heating, one sometimes cannot gauge when the oil will run us like us.

Life can be made so much easier if you are guaranteed peace of mind, especially in the safety of your loved ones and family. Worried as I was, because my kid comes into the store with us during office hours, so it is her that I fear cannot take the cold. Central heating installation is definitely the way to go for us, because you know you can trust Northern Gas to NOT run out of gas. This company not only strives to go beyond and above the call of duty when it comes to customer’s satisfaction, they also know that winter months are hard and therefore offers lots of incentives and interest free 12 month for your gas needs.

Boiler service comes not only with installation service but a 5 yrs service plan that you only have to pay for 4. For a low price, your boiler gets checked annually, to prolong its life and making sure that you get your hot bathes whenever you want. Using one of the world’s cleanest fossil fuel, you save substantially every year. Ask about their free portable carbon monoxide sensors, that as far as I know, only Northern Gas offers to their customer/s free of charge. Staying safe and keeping the family happy is what every parent or children wants to do for their family.

BabySitter Sexually Assault 12 Yr old Boy

Shocking..! very..!! but this is my view.. and my 2 cents worth. Let me just state first and foremost that whatever might have had happened.. it was wrong for the babysitter to have sex with the kid.

12 yrs old kids here .. are fairly mature in my opinion. They know the right from wrong.. and some 12 yrs old boys that i know here.. knows alot more than the birds and the bees. According to this kid.. he and the babysitter had sex for more than 100 times… and that’s alot… of sex.. considering with someone who doesn’t wanna have sex with his babysitter..??

I can’t say.. i see it as an assault.. but the kid was 12 yrs old.. and it’s wrong.. whether.. he was just a curious teenager.. or not. As the adult.. it must be her who initiated it.. or if not.. she should have stopped it there and then. By not doing so.. and taking advantage of the curiosity of a growing teenage boy.. I’ll have to say.. she deserved the 2.5 yrs sentence. What is your view on it..??

Making A Pact

Yes.. the brat asked to make a pact last nite.. before going to bed. She got outta the shower.. and wanted to watch 1 show.. and we had said.. no .. because it was time for bed. In which she replied.. “I’ll make a pact with you .. i’ll watched one show.. and drink my milk.. and I’ll sleep the whole nite.. ok.. mum..?? ”

Yup.. i’m not even kidding.. she said that to me..! So we let her watch a show.. but nope.. she didn’t sleep the whole nite.. nor sleep early.. muahhahaha!! but i’ll have to say.. she tried though… to get away with stuff.

More Babies On The Way

Yes.. any surprised ..?? I shouldn’t be .. after so many years in this small town. We met a friend .. who just recently got divorced.. and the first thing she had asked.. was the # for the Justice of Peace.. who happened to be PB’s cousin .. and who had witness her first marriage. I am definitely happy for her.. because this guy she met .. who is very English.. is someone really nice.. for sure nicer than her ex. I really liked him anyways.. but since she was PB’s longest friend’s ex-wife.. i guess .. because of the sense of loyalty.. he kinda.. didn’t say much… even though i was raving about her new man. And she also have a baby on his/her way. So yes.. more babies soon in this town.
