"Portland bill"

I posted to my marketing blog, but with the reason for doing it... ;)

Here I just want to update you all.. :)

Last night was a busy one!! Got fired up again, and have put more of the plans into action, am I doing tooooooo much? :/
Not sure, but.. It ties in with the overall plans so it would have been done anyway, and for me the sooner the better. :)
Thank you to Jon (of friday progress fame! ) for giving me a superb twist and idea to what I was doing, it has made the whole idea seem to have MORE potential than I first thought.

I knew it was going to be a good thing to start, but Jon has given me a whole new angle that I hadn't even considered, it may well just be what I needed. Thanks bud... :)
I'll email you about what you mentioned. :) <

Unique!! < Click that!!

This is awesome... what that blog. no.. well yeah, but I meant what Mike has done, blew me away... though I won't say here what it is ...yet. :)
I have now a massive different scope on the potential of it all.
I have now far more to offer the locals when this baby gets going!!
Next will be to really get the word out there.
I will go for it over the next few days.

I'll keep you posted, but more than that I'll show you all once I get to that stage. :)

Take care, and thanks.

Rob

P.s Opinions on the blog would be VERY welcome. :)

"1 step back, 2 steps forward? OR 2 steps back, 1 step forward?"

This week I am late!!!

Well I have to say what a week, thanks to those that suggested I take a break.I needed it in a way, as my head was ready to explode.

But to step back and look at the whole picture was a little....scary!! Part of me wishes I hadn't taken that break.
As the goal of the deposit money in such a short time seems a bit overwhelming now. :-(

But I did have a great few days with my boys, and they are the most important thing in my life.

I have felt very deflated over the last week, so the lift my boys gave me was surely needed.
Online I have done.....hardly anything this week.

Ritchie (of dorset diary fame!) popped down for two days, yesterday we spent the day walking around the island taking some amazing pictures.

Why? Well I have thought of a great idea that I wish I thought of ages ago, as it does tie in well with I am doing anyway, and it may well be the real take off point for me.

Watch this space over the next few days. :-)

Ritchie and I will also get some pics of stone stuff up.
We hope that someone will order something we can make, fingers crossed, we don't have anything to lose by doing this.

This week.. I am going to work real hard at geting things going better, and I will sit dwon next sunday and see if this is really all worth it!!

I hope to have the answer I want, thats a yes.. but lets see.

A deflating, yet uplifting, yet scary week all round.
Lets hope this week is far better.
Take care,

Rob
