Hello, my dears!

Well, here we are...at the end of another month! At least this one was sunny and warm, rather than rainy and miserable! And we had fun...didn't we?

Are Self-Employed Courier Jobs Good Summer Jobs?

Posted by Gertie on 15-Jul-2016 13:19:33

Hello, my dears!

I hope this week finds you well. I've certainly been in a good mood. I'm happy to report my sunburn has gone away (all it took was a little soothing cream) and I've gone back to enjoying afternoons in the garden – with sunblock this time around!

Hello, all!

I hope you've all continued to enjoy this extended summer. I got a really bad case of sunburn from sitting out in the garden too long – my face and shoulders sort of resemble a beetroot at the moment!

Hello, darlings!

Well – the first week of our little experiment didn't go badly at all, did it? You lot seem to have enjoyed the post about receipts, and I got quite a bit of feedback along the lines of 'you're right, young 'uns do need to know this'. There were even some real-life examples thrown in from some of you! I'm happy that my little post has been so well-received, and I hope this one goes over as well as the previous one, even though it's about a very different subject.

Once a Courier Driver, Always a Courier Driver?

Posted by Gertie on 15-May-2016 16:43:53

Hello, my dears!

As Aunt Gertie's birthday month rolls on, I'm afraid we will be having yet another discussion regarding life after (and, to an extent, also during) courier work. I did warn you at the top of the month that posts might become a little bit topical, and I just so happen to have found another interesting angle from which to start a reader discussion.
