Business Update

Posted on by

I finally got my plastic pass in that I applied for weeks ago, it came in with the post this morning. I went to meet with my accountant today to sign the company papers. Of course I ran into that sweet old man again on my way there and yes we said hello to each other as usual. The papers have been waiting for me ever since I ended up in hospital on Wednesday the 24th of October which seems like ages ago. I had to fill in some forms and sign them, he also gave me my business papers and my certificate. Since we have done most of it online I don’t need MvdM’s signature so the business is now officially up and running.

Tuesday I will meet with the bank to set up a business account. My accountant arranged a meeting for the three of us which saves me a trip to my branch. It’s not that far away [7.5km] but if I have to take a bus there it’s a bit of a hassle. This way I don’t have to make the phone calls and organise, I only have to show up and bring the necessary papers, so what seemed to be a problem before has been solved today and I’m extremely happy about it since I still don’t have the energy to arrange things.

Taoism and time. It all seems to balance if you can be patient which is something I still have to learn at times especially when I need to recover and I can’t accept that simple fact: but I’m getting there slowly…

Sweet Mailman

Posted on by

The mailman has been good to me today; all these wonderful parcels!!!
First I received a parcel at the door from Christiaan with a really really cool gadget in it, thank you again Christiaan!!! It’s the coolest webcam ever!! Did I ever mention Christiaan’s weak spot for Gaffer Duck tape? All I’ll say for now is that the package was very well wrapped! emoticons/biggrin.gif I didn’t try it yet but will soon, I will have to make sure not to make the same mistake again and crash my computer, I know how to seriously crash it now… So better be prepared this time!
Then I received my Barclays bank card, so I can finally pay in stores over here, no more trouble with my other cards. All I need to do now is transfer Euros into my UK account. Another problem solved! and it feels good! The last thing I received was some bedding for the mice that I can’t find anywhere except online. We’ve tried so many pet shops but none had it so in the end I decided to order it online. Both 5 liter bags came in in the afternoon. Another problem solved. It’s so nice to receive fun stuff thru the mail, I reckon receiving the parcel from the Lowlands was the nicest to receive. Not just because of who sent it or what was in there but also because it’s something from ‘home’…. I know that must sound pathetic, but I do appreciate receiving something from ‘home’.
So I had quite a good day until I started to vomit out of the blue. I feel ill/feverish and not too well so I will wait until A. is here, have some dinner and then I’m off to bed!
[wrote this after dinner:]
I’ve received a mail from the designer at the Times his name is A., he would like to meet up and talk shop so I will reply to his mail tomorrow. I really need to sleep now!
