EVIL?

I felt very sorry for the japanese familly who have lost many of 4 generations of their familly. All are fishermen and lived together
Then it just hit me!

KARMA!

These people have been murdering and killing the whales for years. This is justice. This is nature and nature always fights back.

This is a very sad event and I truly feel for the japanese people but there is no doubt in my mind. THIS IS KARMA!

Am I evil to think like this? Maybe but I just cannot help it!

THANK YOU SANDY MAINE

Well I was getting very stressed cos I had had loads of articles published and worked hard for little returns over the last few month knowing there would be very little coming in from my real business cos in winter it is pretty dead. Anyway they didnt pay me. I got help from Business Link and was quite prepared to go to court costs about £60 but you can need a solicitor tho I probably would have gone without since the evidence is there in print! Alternatives were to sell the debt which I did consider etc etc. Anyway I sent a 7 days notice letter and would next have sent ( under Business links guidance) a letter to claim interest as well which was an unexpected bonus. It was all depressing tho having to go to these lengths but I was going to do whaever even if the whole money went in costs since as far I am conscerned it already had gone! Well the 7 day final demand worked cos I got paid today. Shame it was not in time to pay for my web design course on Tuesday( brilliant by the way but later about that) and that has been added to the now scary credit card debt. I could of course pay that back today but I can instead pay for most of this year events so have to decide what to do now. I just cannot help but remember Sandy Maine tho when she said in her book that every small problem will teach and help you and make you stronger. Today I feel like a "proper" business woman and thats a first! Well then now I mean business I had better make this pay and start to make a living even if that does mean I have to start to sell something else and maybe thats the real way to go. I really love my business but loving something and being able to pay the bills, eat etc are 2 totally different things and I need to do both but most of all the living and paying the bills bit! Hey ho!

Well going to make soap today. 7 bars in total so about 84 individual soaps once they are cut. But first my poor chickens need me since they are filthy and I didnt take em on to make em live in filth. Cleaning time.

This whole incident does prove one thing tho - if at first you do not get paid become a complete nuisance. Do not give up and give in. Stand strong stand proud and keep hasslin` em. Maybe after all I did learn something from my days in technical sales...........

My course: Tuesday 6-9 I am now doing web design level 3 which means when I finish I could infact become a professional web designer. Considering I started just to get my own business up on the internet thats a bit shocking even for me. I could have stopped where I am I suppose but I want Brackencraft to be ranked as number 1 when they search for soap! And it will be. In my first lessson I found out loads I didnt know including the fact my website as it currently stands breaks all the rules or guidelines given by the W3 somebodies who I do not know about. I feel very stupid on my course. There are loads of people - like what seems to be the whole class! who know loads of stuff I have never even heard of. I need to spend an evening googling it. "frames"???? some kind of web format that is currently unfashionable I think. Sounds abit like CSS but older. But I am guessing. W3??????, and so it goes on. And I didnt like to ask cos it seems everyone else knew all about it! Still I did not go there for a history lesson but to learn to build and I am. I managed to build a working 3 page website using just html. How cool! well it has inspired me. Next week when I have the time I will have another go on my own. Probably on monday when M is on nights. Well one good thing about using PCs when you work at home with a shift worker is the pc is virtually silent whereas everything normally is not so I can do this on the nights week. Well off to my chickens now and then to make soap. I should follow Tatty`s old advice now and think of a question I suppose to end on!

Heres one.........

Will the publisher pay me on time next month or will I again need to send threatening notices?
