Courier Exchange Blog

Hello my dears!

Some days, I love this ‘job’. You all know how much I like when you darlings give me amazing answers to my fan-question thingies, but another great aspect of being a blogger is getting the kind of message I’ll be reproducing here today. Using this sort of imagination in a message that will probably not even get published only proves how much you like old Gertie and this blog!

Hello sweethearts!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love how dedicated and responsive my fan base is. I know a lot of people say this, and most of them are talking out of a certain place, but I mean it. The posts where I ask you something and get tonnes of interesting answers right away are by far my favourite, which is why I try to do them as often as possible. (That, and the blogging manual said to do them if you want to get famous! Just kidding...)

Hello, my dears!

I’m afraid today I will have to stand on my soapbox. I know some of you don’t like when old Aunt Gertie gets all preachy, but there is an important subject I want to discuss.

Hello, my dears!

I was thinking the other day about what a self-centred month this is turning out to be for old Gertie. First I brag about how long I’ve been doing the blog for, then about giving an interview, then I post a bunch of messages praising me...simply dreadful, isn’t it? That was why I was determined to close out Unbirthday Month with something fun that would put the spotlight back on you or, alternatively, on the issues that matter to you, such as owner driver jobs.

Hello, my dears!

Well, our Four-Year Celebration continues here at the blog (even though technically the anniversary is not until November), and it’s getting to be that time of the month. No, not THAT time of the month, dears; the time of the month when I turn over the blog to you, my readers, and print some of the lovely messages you send me.

Hello, darlings!

Either one of you is a practical joker who got confused and decided to play an April Fools’ Day prank several months early, or something extremely odd just happened.

Hello, my dear readers!

Today is a special day for me. Or should I say, for us. See, the other night I was sitting at home with nothing on the telly, just faffing around on the computer, and it occurred to me to try and track the oldest post on my blog. It wasn’t easy (I really need to start archiving my posts differently, don’t I?) but eventually I found it...and the date was 2009! November of 2009, to be more precise. Do you know what that means, my dears? It means, in just over a month, I’ll be celebrating my fourth anniversary as a blogger!

Hi everyone!

Well, after two serious posts and one that turned out to be half-serious, I thought we might as well close out the month with something not entirely light-hearted, but not entirely serious either. The problem was, I could not think of anything! Fortunately for me, my nephew Steven came in and, with impeccable timing, gave me the final post for October!

Hi all!

After the overdose of seriousness in my previous posts, I decided I’d come up here with something (a little) more light-hearted, and that can foster discussion as well! You see, the other night Stevie sent me an article on past versus the new, with a note – “you should talk about this on the blog”. I opened the link, read it, and had to agree with him. And here we are.

Hello all!

I’m afraid, after last week’s somewhat preachy post, we will be continuing the trend of seriousness here at the Cafe. See, even before I decided to write about how to keep safe when you are your own boss, somebody sent me (well, my nephew) this article, which advises about insurance when carrying out freelance jobs – and yes, in case you were wondering, that does include self-employed courier jobs.
