Power of the press

Tony over at New Build Inspections has been sending out some press releases about these blogs, and they’re starting to be noticed. This has also led to some press attention…
Stuart Bruce, self proclaimed PR Guru, says that this is “One of the best examples of a small business blogging I’ve seen.”
Which is nice.
I’ve also [...]

Let the e-mail do the talking

I just sent this to Crest Nicholson. It should be self explanatory.

Keeping abreast of things

It’s been a while since the last update. Not that things haven’t been
happening, but it’s been a hectic few weeks, and it wasn’t until the 15th that I got broadband access at the house. But that’s now installed (Freedom2Surf, with an ADSL router supplied by Solwise) and things are ticking along, so it’s [...]

If at first you don’t succeed…

Small claims

I’ve spent the week chasing up some money that Crest Nicholson owe me. It’s not looking too promising at the moment. Here’s the story…

Crest Nicholson called me back!

That’s something of a first. John Lewsley, their Home Care Manager, called me back at 16.45 after I spoke to them earlier today.
Unfortunately, I was on a conference call at the time and couldn’t take his call. But the message he left said that he’d try again tomorrow.

Video killed the radio star

After a week or so of being a TV-less house (because new build houses don’t come equipped with aerials) the peace has been shattered after I had a TV aerial fitted over the weekend. I used “Euro Digital TV” (no website, but check www.yell.co.uk for them). Good guys. They got the work [...]

Moved!

[Catching up on last week's activities]
Pretty much all of yesterday was spent moving. I had hoped that Crest Nicholson might not manage to get anything wrong on the day, but they even managed to make something as simple as handing the keys over unnecessarily complicated.
But first…
