Shopping
I love my food and my best ever gift was a gourmet food basket which I got form my parents for Christmas. It had a lovely selection of chocolates, cookies, crackers, nuts, fruit and all sorts of other delicious things. It got me to thinking that it might be nice to make that sort of gift for other people as well. I have a friend who just loves cookies and I wondered whether gourmet cookies gifts would be good for her. I think I will try her with one and see what she thinks of it and whether she would like more of the same in the future, I am sure she will be honest with me as she normally is. I just have to decide which of the selection to buy her as I know that she likes all types of cookies. I could get a selection but the gourmet chocolate chip cookies really look the most delicious to me and so I think I might get her those and hope that I am around when she opens them so that I can try one, or two, or three……!

Business
I have decided that it is about time that I did something with my garden. Luckily my neighbours do not have stunning gardens either so I do not feel under pressure to make it perfect. However, I am starting to feel that the gravel and limestone wall are looking tired and grubby and we are getting too many toys around the garden. The table and chairs are rusty too. I am thinking of having a few landscape borders to make it look neat and pretty. I decided to do this because I went to friend`s house the other day and they had landscape edging which looked so good that I immediately decided that I wanted to copy the effect! They were also happy enough to let me know the name of the person that did it for them which was great. I have decided to have mainly decking on the rest of the garden with a couple of sandboxes for the children and a few pots of palms. Hopefully it will add some sophistication to my garden or at least make it look less like a dumping ground for toys and make it a nicer environment for us adults to enjoy as well.

software
There is so much staffing software in the market at the moment that it can be really hard to know which probably, is the best one to choose from…. As I am looking at the moment, I have decided that I need to narrow down the list a bit. Firstly, I have decided to write a list of the features that I need in my recruitment software and then I can discard those which do not fit in with these features. I also like to use small local companies because I like to support small local businesses. I am a small business myself and I appreciate it when other local companies work together with me or help me out and I also think that it is great to put my money back into my local area. This should help the local economy to thrive even in hard times like we are having at the moment. I now have only a few applicant tracking software choices and so that means that I now need to try the demo versions and I should be close to making a decision. I like trying out new things and so this should be great fun.
