"But why?"

Well, there was no more sicky or squitty today, so that's a clear improvement. However I rue the day Bertie learnt to say "why?". All day we have had conversations that run thus:
"It's time for lunch now."
"But why?;
"Because it's 12 o'clock."
"But Why?"
"Because, because, because it just is."
"But why?"
"Arrgghhhh."
I have also had to find reasons for baths, not inserting screws into interesting looking holes in Daddy's power tools, and the existence of the toaster.

Anyway, on the business front. I have moved a tiny step towards a web page. I have been sent an invoice, and sorted out when I'm going to pay it (next week), so that work can start. The company I'm using is WebCreationUK, and the page I've mocked up for them is this:

I created the background with a great tool called "Repeating Motif Generator" (for Mac), which can be found here: 

Fell asleep

Didn't get much business stuff done today.

Sicky toddler was sent home from nursery yesterday, and today he was squitty-bottomed and very out of sorts.  There wasn't a lot of time as he needed lots of cuddles.

Did manage to start the process of commissioning my new CP webpage; I sent the final mockup of the design, and they've confirmed the quote.  Soon I'll have to pay the deposit, and then I really will be committed.

I meant to do some things this evening, but fell asleep whilst trying to get the littlest son to sleep.  I think I fell asleep before he did.

Blog the First!

Well now I have to post something on my shiny new blog.

The point of this is to record the setting up, and later the running, of my new business.  I've written a business plan, talked to the bank, emailed suppliers, and found a base.  Now I have to actually start.  Maybe writing it all down as I go will help me keep going.

As people keep saying, it won't be easy with a three year old, new baby, husband and house renovation all happening as well.  

I'm on maternity leave, and really ought to be relaxing and enjoying my baby, but when else will I have 9 months of being paid to stay at home?  It's too good an opportunity to miss, and I really want to know if I can do this.
