After having just been made redundant and whilst looking for new employment I thought it would be a good idea to keep myself busy by offering my services doing admin from home. If you or someone you know has a small business and your free time is spent doing your books instead of relaxing or spending time with your family, please message me and we can chat about your needs for outsourcing the admin/finance side of your business. My long term goal is to build up a portfolio of clients big enough to work from home full time. I bring with me 26 years of financial administration experience and an excellent skill set.

Where did all the waterbeds go?

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

Did you have - or do you still have - a Waterbed? I hunted high and low for someone who still used one of the originals, but couldn't find a soul who'd own up to it.
What do you think about these wonderfully kitsch pieces of retro bedroom decor?
