The start of 2005 hasn’t been that good so far but it’s looking like it might pick up.

It started with the car I only bought 3 weeks ago dying on me. Thankfully I took out breakdown cover when I insured it so I was able to get it to the Vauxhall dealer to sort out. Picked it up today but I’m £314 out of pocket.

Then the order from my supplier was delayed on the one week I really badly needed it not to be. I ordered last Thursday with stuff I’d ran out of and I was expecting it Monday morning. A week later and it finally looks like it will arrive tomorrow. It was posted Tuesday but it got delayed at customs so I spent today trying to sort that one out as well.

It’s been a very stressful start to the year and I really hope it isn’t a sign of things to come.

DevonLocks.Com can now take credit cards so that’s helped business. I also splashed out a little on a new phone which has a headset and mic. It was driving me nuts trying to hold the phone and type at the same time with one hand so now I have both hands free. I’m getting in excess of 50 phone calls a day now so I really needed that problem sorted out.

Lock Pick is a new UK site I'm working on at the moment to give more help guides etc. Work in progress but I have time to spare before I push it on the search engines.
