Had a great weekend with my mother, aunt and uncle. Went to Kemble (Cotswold) airshow on Saturday. Bloody freezing on the airfield but managed to get sun/wind burn on my face! Took loads of shots and have no idea when I'll get around to photoshopping them!

Invited to a party on Sat. evening at neighbours of my aunt & uncle. Not many people can say they've been to a party where the host buzzed his guests with his own jet plane!!! Pretty amazing and also lovely, unaffected people despite the obvious wealth (apart from the jet, a Ferrari in the garage, as well as an Audi RS6 and a Porsche 911!). Oh well, something to aspire to! Not that I'd want my own jet!

The website is being built and I have to write lots of copy for each page (5 pages). Goodness only knows when I'm going to do this. Work is so hectically busy at the moment that when I get in I'm just so knackered and feel that I must keep up Twitter, Blogger, Facebook and all the various VA forums. Plus have a husband and 3 cats to look after!

The meeting with the web designers went well and I even networked! I have decided to go ahead with the webdesign and handed over a cheque. I then had to run into town, raid my savings and pay the cash into the bank to cover the cheque! I was going to buy a new wide-angle lens with the money but hey-ho. Maybe one day soon I'll be able to afford to buy a better lens. After all you have to speculate to accumulate don't you? Well, that's what they say! I also booked myself on 2 courses with the Inland Revenue and rang up a local company of Virtual Assistants to introduce myself as a colleague, not as competition, and I have a meeting with them in July! Very much looking forward to it.

Off now for a weekend away to photograph the Kemble Airshow.

This morning I have a meeting with a web-design company. Sort of looking forward to it I guess. A bit worried that there might be too many 'diamond'-named companies out there so I'm going to ask the web developer to do a more thorough search for me and see what he comes up with. So far I've only spent £50 on having a DiamondVA logo done but I've set up email addresses, twitter, blogger, etc all in DiamondVA. Still, if I have to change, I suppose it could be worse...

Here we go...

Hello!

This is my first blog, my first blog-site, my first ever new company, DiamondVA. There is so much to do, research and set up it's almost overwhelming. I keep jumping about from one area of research to another; getting led off down interesting little meadnering side paths! So far I have a company name, a domain name and a logo, oh and sore eyes from all the reading!

There are so many great virtual assistant websites out there, especially the forums, with endless information (that lead me down the side paths!). I must leave this now and go back to my online meanderings.
