No we’re not talking about the hole in the kitchen floor, that is still there, in fact it looks a bit bigger than when we first put it through. However, we are talking about the whole concept of moving home, see to us, we’re in a house that has a roof and windows – its ok, needs some work, well alright a lot of work, never the less it is a house and it has a great view.
However, we’re slowly coming round to the idea that perhaps a move would do us all the world of good and it would certainly allow me to spend more time in an office with privacy, which will mean more time on Add Deal and all sorts of different projects that I have up my sleeve.
Anyway, enough about that lets focus on this weeks ROW80 check in. This week has seen a lot of interesting goals being fulfilled, and in fact as we write this there are quite a few strong pains coming from our back, shoulders, and legs… all will become apparent in this weeks check in.
As always you can find out initial goals for the ROW 80 here. Also make sure you checkout the ROW80 category which can be found here, the category contains all the latest posts and amendments.
Blogging
- Blog 10 times per week: Well we think we’ve made a good start on this with a good 4 or 5 new blog posts being published, thus far this week.
- Guest Blog Posts: Excellent progress made here this week, finally, we’ve sent a guest post to a fellow WordPress follower, A Day in the Life – we’d like to extend our thanks to her for publishing this - we’re scheduled to go live on the 4th February so be sure to take a look – click here to visit her blog
- Pages: We’re currently in the throws of making two new pages for the blog, our website and our company website, both of these pages are part of our legal policy regarding the handling of your information.
- Comments: Don’t know if you have noticed but we have been very busy with regards to commenting on peoples blogs. We’re hoping to comment on more blogs in the future.
Work
Meanwhile on the working frontier things have started to slow down a bit… kind of:
- Complete goals as set out in the business plan: We’re still making progress on this, and one of the objectives was to find a supplier who would provide the backend services needed for Add Deal to function as a loyalty card provider… we’ve found one.. we’re just waiting on the phone call – will be e-mailing them if we’ve not heard back from them by Friday this week.
- Have at least 5 new users signing up per day: – Not much progress on this goal, we’ll be making this our priority this week with changes being made to our website.
- Launch Add Deal Babies.com: Coding continues… and great progress has been made on this thus far.
- Make arrangments for cards to be printed: We’re now waiting on the final part of this, which is to have our backend provider, give us some idea of pricing so we can work out what we need to charge businesses as a subscription fee.
- Develop Add Deal.TV: – Work has paused on this due to focus on other areas… we will be looking at this probably in February time.
- Register as Self Employed: No need for this just yet, we will be removing this goal as of this week and making it a priority as soon as the other goals are complete.
- Set-up Business Bank Accounts: Bank and Manager have been identified, we have been unable to get hold of him thus far, will try again this Friday.
- Offer Add Deal for FREE: We’re going to be making a fuss of this, and in the next couple of weeks look out for our artwork and the promotions we offer.
Exercise
We’re sure we don’t need to tell you too much about our story here. We have actually managed to get the Wii Fit board out and we have also come up with quite a good fitness regime complete with our new healthy way of living which includes lots of weetabix and over the course of the next few weeks plenty of fruit and veg.
Due to the sheer amount of exercising that has been done over the past couple of days, the body is now aching something chronic… if anyone can recommend any kind of way around this that would be great.
Full details of our weight loss and keeping can be found in our dedicated Weight Loss category.
Autobiography
At present I have to say I haven’t been able to get round to blogging about myself this week – however it is on my list of things to do and will be publishing something in a couple of days.
Our company owner has made a blog for himself, right here on WordPress and you can find out all about him over at his personal WordPress Site: http://adddealceo.wordpress.com.
Photography
We’ve seen the camera that we would like, however, due to the house move, all funds are being designated to this.. we’re hoping that in March time we will be going for the camera..
We’ll also do a blog post about the camera we have chosen and how we find it… – keep your eyes open for this.
Other
E-mails: We’re thinking our inbox could do with more of a tidy up, so this week we’re introducing some new folders, entitled WordPress, Card Services and Enquiries – that way we really are all organised.
Music: No new tracks this week – we’ll be focusing on this in the coming few days.
Movies: Not been to see any new movies as yet, however, the new Coriolanus does look very interesting – so there is a possibility that we may be going to see this.
TV Series: Difficult, very difficult, we’re still undecided, some weeks we catch the tale end of American Dad other days its David Attenboroughs Ice World. We’re thinking, we may just go with both of them and be done with it… as one is factual and the other is quite light and done in a comedy style way.
Phew!!! Another check in and another, well 1068 words. If you got this far brilliant.
