Testimonials
"I would like to say thankyou for all your support since advertising with you. The monthly competitions and articles have really helped to raise my salons profile in and around St Neots. with a number of your site visitors providing me with repeat business. I have also found that my regular clients have visited your website to view my pricelist which you have kindly displayed...I am very dubious about advertising locally on websites and in local papers especially as I have a very small advertising budget but your honest down to earth approach really made me feel it was worth taking a chance, a chance that seems to be paying off. Not only has it been worth while from a business point of view but as a general visitor to the website it has really helped to make me aware of other businesses present in PE19 invaluable to someone who has only been living in Cambridgeshire for just over a year."

Its an age thing.......

Published: 4th August 2008 20:37

I was recently diagnosed with AAADD - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder

It's an age thingThis is how it manifests:

I decide to water my flower tubs in the front garden.

As I go to turn on the hose I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

I go to get the car keys from the hall and then notice the post on the hall table.

I decide to go through the post before I wash the car.

I put my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the bin under the table, and notice that the bin is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the rubbish first.

But then I think, I can run down to the post-box when I take out the rubbish, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my cheque book off the table, and see that there is only 1 cheque left.

My other cheque book is on the computer desk, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my other cheque book, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Coke is getting warm so I decide to put it in the fridge to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the window ledge catches my eye--they need water.

I put the Coke on the window ledge and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my computer desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.

I put the glasses back down on the window ledge, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote. I must have have left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when I go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the living room where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, but some spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table, get a towel and wipe up the spill.

Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

The flower tubs aren't watered;

The car isn't washed;

The bills aren't paid;

There is a warm can of Coke sitting on the window ledge;

The flowers in the vase don't have enough water;

There is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book;

I can't find the remote;

I can't find my glasses;

I have absolutely NO idea what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to work out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all damn day, and I'm really tired. And on that note....I'm going to water the flowers.....oh no, here we go again!
