Things I have said while working from home this week...

“Where did I save that?”

“Why isn't this working?”

“I definitely replied to that.”

“Why is this spreadsheet doing that?”

“Where's my mouse?”

“There isn't anything written in that cell... oh wait, yes there is.”

And, probably at least once a day:

“Right, what was I doing?”

Working from home is a lot of talking to yourself, questioning your own eyesight and trying to remember what you were doing five minutes ago!

Anyone else?!

A great way to end a long week with the gang at Evolution! 🎉

The Maldon branch celebrated our first birthday with some absolutely delicious brownies and blondies from Luca’s Cakes.

Thank you so much to Luca for making these for us. They went down an absolute treat, and somehow one managed to slip into my bag to take home. 😉

Thank you to Darren for his presentation on the benefits of joining Utility Warehouse. I love the message you're spreading and hearing more about how you're helping others.

And a special thank you to Richard for his harmonica rendition of Happy Birthday! Now, the question is... should I post the video?

Our next meeting is Friday 13th November, and we'd love to see you there!

Woo, first one done and in the bag! 🎉

What a great and lively meeting we had on Thursday at PUB Networking Chelmsford!

Well done to James for winning our icebreaker question: “What is your favourite chick flick?”

His answer? “I don't know what it's called, but there's this guy and he's a bounty hunter.”

Luckily, I'm a big fan of chick flicks, so I knew he was talking about The Bounty Hunter! 😂 James wins a free ticket to next month's event, so we're looking forward to seeing him there.

A big thank you to Lesley for her presentation on the do's and don'ts of writing your first book. I think everyone left with a clearer idea of the steps they need to take when they finally put pen to paper.

Our next event is Thursday 12th November, and we look forward to welcoming you along!

I recently had a complaint from a client...

“I phone you up to tell you I don't know how to do something and ask you to do it, thinking it will take you two days, but you do it while we're on the phone. It's so annoying!”

Okay, maybe it wasn't reeeeally a complaint.

But I actually think it's a pretty good example of the weight a VA can lift off your shoulders.

Sometimes there's a task sitting in the back of your mind because you don't know how to do it, don't have the time to figure it out, or you're just not sure where to start.

Being able to pick up the phone, explain what you need and have someone say “Yep, leave it with me” can make a surprisingly big difference.

And sometimes, what you thought was going to take two days turns out to take five minutes.

Sorry about that. 😂

A little bit of news! 🎉

I am now officially hosting the Chelmsford branch of PUB Networking!

After stepping in to host last month's meeting at the last minute, I obviously didn't do too badly because Milo has let me do it permanently!

I'm really looking forward to taking on the hosting role and helping keep our meetings fun, relaxed and full of good conversations.

And I'm not doing it alone!

The one and only Clare Horsley will now be taking on the role of Ambassador for the Chelmsford branch, so we'll be working together to keep things moving and make sure everyone gets the most out of the meetings.

Our meetings are held on the second Thursday of every month (apart from December... but hold this space because we're planning something!).

Our next meeting is Thursday 8th October (tomorrow), and we'd love to see some new faces as well as the usual gang.

If you're a local business owner looking for a relaxed networking group in Chelmsford, come along and join us!

Tasks to prioritise in October

October is a good time to start looking towards the end of the year. It might still feel like there’s plenty of time left, but the next few months can disappear surprisingly quickly.

Here are a few areas worth prioritising this month:

◾️ Start planning for Christm*s and the New Year
Have a look at what needs to be done before the end of the year and start getting important dates, deadlines and events in the diary.

◾️ Review your outstanding admin
Is there anything you've been putting off for the last few months? October is a good time to start working through those jobs before they become December problems.

◾️ Check your client and supplier information
Make sure contact details, contracts, payment information and any other important records are up to date before things get busy towards the end of the year.

◾️ Look at your workload for November and December
If those months are already starting to fill up, now is the time to work out what needs doing and when. It’s much easier to spread the workload out than discover everything needs doing in December.

◾️ Review what is and isn't working
Are there any processes that have become unnecessarily complicated this year? October gives you plenty of time to make small changes before heading into the new year.

You don't need to completely overhaul your business before Christm*s. Sometimes it's just about getting a few things organised now so you're not trying to sort everything out at the last minute.

One week to go to Chelmsford PUB Networking Night!

Come and join the amazing vibe we get at our Chelmsford meetings!

Powered Up Business Networking (PUBNetworking) is not your normal networking. This is networking with a twist - relaxed, social, and genuinely fun. We ditch the stiff formality and focus on building real connections - not just for business, but for friendships and collaborations too.

This isn’t just about swapping business cards. It’s about sharing a drink, having a laugh, and getting stuck in to conversations that spark ideas and opportunities.

Join in the fun:
✔️ Make new connections
✔️ Grow your existing ones
✔️ Share your work
✔️ Get actionable business support
✔️ Enjoy a great evening out

📍 The United Brethren, Chelmsford
📆 Thursday 8th October
🕢 7:30pm - 9:30pm

If you’re looking for a networking event where you can be yourself, learn something, and walk away with real value (and maybe a few new mates), reserve your space now!

Outside of the usual admin, there have been a few additional tasks this month, because we all know it’s not just emails, invoices, and calendar stuff that shape a business!

This month I’ve been:

✔️ Creating and scheduling social media content
✔️ Preparing letters of authority
✔️ Chasing late payments

A mix of organisation, communication and behind-the-scenes support all aimed at helping my clients keep things moving.

These aren’t always the biggest tasks, but they’re the ones that can take up valuable time when they’re sitting in the background, and I’m always happy to help get them ticked off!

28/09/2026

Something doesn't add up here!

Anyone else's pet sleep like they've just done 14 hours at work?

Meanwhile, we're over here feeling guilty because we've sat down for five minutes. 😂

I think I'll have a nap at lunch and think about all the work I've done!
