Delivery Problems

This weekend I found out that Amtrak (a courier company in the UK) went into administration.

As part of my business involves delivering goods to customers, I have been directly affected by this as my order of products is now lost at one of the Amtrak depots, never to be seen again.

I will be getting a re-delivery some time next week, but being a bank holiday weekend this is obviously going to be delayed.

This is really frustrating to say the least, as I am trying to build a business where reliability and keeping my promises are important, his could potentially have a bad affect on my business.

Oh well only time will tell, there is not a lot I can do about it.

Losing Weight

Just been to Slimming World again tonight, considering I have been on holiday for 2 weeks, and wasn't really sticking to the diet, I have not put on any weight since my last weigh in :) so to date I have lost 4 stone.

A little about me

As I'm new to blogging, I will probably only waffle on about crap you're not interested in, but that's not the reason for this, it's really just a place to speak my mind, what little I have :).

OK, a little about me, I am married to Lisa and have three beautiful (most of the time) kids. I am currently a distributor in a Network Marketing business, only been doing it about 3 months but it's going well so far.

Almost two years ago now, we were all involved in a road traffic accident, we were all injured but survived, the other driver who was on drugs was sent down for 2 years (not long enough in my opinion). We are still waiting for the insurance to cough up compensation, but we a re not holding our breath.

March this year I turned the big 4-0, and after seing the photo's of me I decided I had to turn my life around, I have been overweight almost all my life, too may sausage and chip dinners as a child. Anyway in April I joined Slimming World with Lisa. I weighed in at 21st !!!! OH MY GOD!!! I hadn't realised it had gotten this bad.

I have set a goal of losing 7st by Christmas and a total of 9 stone by March next year, I also plan to run the London Marathon.....not sure about that one tho :)

Well thats all for now.
