For those of you who have been following our ROW80 progress over the past couple of months you will know that at present we are moving home. So far, we have completed the full packing up of all of the downstairs of our 2 bed property, we have also made a start on the packing of the upstairs, however there is still plenty more that needs to be done before we move on Friday the 18th of February 2012.
Yesterday, was Valentines Day, so as we’re sure you can imagine our property was filled with romance and love… and 16 large size boxes which made great tables whilst eating a Tesco packet pie.
On the job frontier there hasn’t really been much positives here, we have applied for a further 20-25 jobs this week and we’re getting no responses at all, or the responses we are getting are saying no due to experience and a couple of them are saying we’re too over qualified.
On the business frontier we have had to stop all work on the project for the past couple of days due to our focus being on getting the property packed up, we’d also like to point out that the children are currently off on 1/2 term so as you can imagine our house filled with boxes and 2 children running around the place does not make a constructive environment for working in.
Anyway, let’s get down to this weeks check in, as always you can find a copy of our initial goals by clicking here, you can also find the latest updates and amendments to our goals by clicking here and visiting our dedicated ROW80 category.
Blogging
- Blog at least 10 times a week: Bit of a slow week on the blogging frontier this week with only 2 blog posts done thus far. We hope we will be able to find some more time to carry out some blogging.
- Guest Blog Posts: No new developments this week, although we have thought of a few ideas we could use for guest blog posts.
- Pages: No new changes here either.
- Comments: Non here either
Business
- Complete goals as set out in the business plan: Unfortunately we have not been able to even open our business plan let alone work on the goals
- Have at least 5 new users signing up a day: No new progress here.
- Launch Add Deal Babies.com We still have not got round to launching Add Deal Babies.com – we’ll be spending sometime working on the project as soon as we have moved.

Exercising
Nothing new to report on this frontier, unless you count packing up boxes and lifting boxes from one part of the house to another??
Autobiography
For those of you who are also following our owners personal blog he has recently changed the URL. Initially the web address was http://www.adddealceo.wordpress.com, this has now changed to http://robhaylor.wordpress.com – this web address will now be used on a permanent basis.
There will be a couple of updates to the blog as and when this week.
Open University
Nothing new to report on this frontier as yet.
Other:
E-mail: We had fallen a bit behind on the organisation frontier, however we are happy to report that all e-mails have now been filed in the correct folders and we now have a clear inbox.
Music: We have found sometime to purchase a couple of new songs including: Bruce Springsteen, Streets of Philadelphia, Bruce Springsteen, Dancing in the Dark.
Film: No new films this week.
TV-Series: Apart from the usual Whitechapel, and Being Human we also managed to find the title of the TV Series we watched last monday that was business related. Alex Poliziski – A Family Business… essentially this lady went to family ran businesses and picks holes in them and then repairs the business from the ground up.
So as you can see there isn’t a lot that has been going on this week, which is a shame, however, due to move we have been unable to focus on anything else other than the move. As soon as we have moved we will be in a better position to begin blogging about our goals and progress.
Notice of Possible Delay
As with any move there always comes that one phone call that us UK people hate. The dreaded phone call to BT’s home moving team, the phone call that you know when they say 2 weeks its going to be 2 months before you even see an Open Reach van on the site. So because of this we may have some delays with ourselves posting blogs online, we have made arrangements to make use of a 3G dongle, however this will only provide limited coverage.
We will be back online as soon as possible.
