We're half way through November, where's the year gone?!
Guy Fawkes and Halloween have been and gone, and the weather undecided everyday, in fact.. every hour!
We're booked up for the next month until mid-December with enquiries coming in daily, which we schedule in accordingly, some for next spring, get in touch if there's an outstanding or niggly bit of work that needs doing, we can help.
Some yearly tips, but due to the time of year, not necessarily all to do with outside work. With the most fun season just around the corner for us all, here is a good round up.
SumUp - our business wireless payment support has sent through a list of security do's and don't's..
Online purchasing - remember to sign up, try to avoid 'Guest checkouts', this way you'll have an email trail and an account to verify purchases.
Personal Details - NEVER give anybody your personal details over the phone, email or text to verify anything, they already have your details. And look out for the obvious signs such as spelling mistakes, links to unusual websites, always check with the company or bank first.
Do NOT borrow, explain times might be challenging to those that you care about, they will understand, give what you can only, not more than what you have.
And finally, next week is all about others, not ourselves, these yearly days/weeks are worth thinking about how we can contribute:
13th November - World Kindness Day
The world is 'instant', with so much focused on the now and not the outcomes and effects our actions have, take a moment everyday and before you speak to people, are they respected, are they happy, go ahead and ask them.
15th November - 19th November - Anti-Bullying Week
It seems with huge historical focus on this subject you might think it was nearly eradicated, sadly not, look for the signs that someone is being mentally abused in the form of bullying, what can you do, how can you help?
15th November - 21st November - Road Safety Week
Every evening I hear cars travelling on an adjacent road, and you can tell from their roar and speed of their sound arriving/receeding that they are above the limit. We are all in a hurry to get someone, but why is my question..
Why... don't we leave a little earlier?
Why... do we need to use our phones when driving?
Why... do we need to travel so fast, nobody is the perfect driver.
Lets move towards December with a bit more respect, understanding, thought and care for those around us, as we age we will ALL depend on others.
