This month has been a crazy month for me. I’ve been working at home for four months and now things are starting to get full on, when I started I was doing one contract every two days, now I’m averaging near two a day. Obviously, all business is good business but I do think I need to play it a little smart and improve my organisational skills.

My Headache

I’m suffering from constant pain in the shape of one particular energy supplier. If it wasn’t for the fact I have an agreement with them I would name them. They are one of the most unethical companies I’ve ever experience, they operate like a dodgy law firm/stock brokerage. I’ve switched over twenty-five businesses away from them in the last four months and they have unlawfully objected or blocked the transfer of at least fifteen of them. This creates more work for me, more emails and more phone calls. That’s not even the worse part, the customer ends up on out of contract prices just so that the supplier makes an extra £50.

I always advise organising your contracts a few months before the contract end date, this allows for time to deal with these ridiculous tactics.

That aside, the prices are fairly high at the moment but I’ve managed to negotiate some fantastic deals. After the Brexit vote and as the value of the British £ continues to drop, the energy prices rise further and even in this climate I’m still saving company owners money. It makes a headache worth it.

I’m incredibly pleased with my progress so far this month, to be honest, I owe it to some amazingly nice customers as of recent.

Mr Cook

I’d like to mention one customer, in particular, an extremely nice gentleman, I’ll name him Mr Cook for this purpose. He was born in July 1930, he lives in a small village in north England, I’m not sure what he did for a living but now he is a trustee for four charities in his village. He manages their accounts, balances their books, deals with tax and even shops around to get them great deals on their energy. At the age of 86, he’s a real legend, Mr Cook was emailing me at 10pm, he printed, signed and scanned me back a letter of authority and even used his smartphone to record a video of his meter so I could have a look at his meter.

I love the elderly, I feel like they are the most neglected in our society and I hate the fact that in the UK if I offer to help an old woman carry her milk, she would be too scared to accept my offer in case I run away with her bags. Honestly, it’s a real shame. I’ve been on Phentermine for 10 days now, so far I’ve lost 5 kilos, but I am also dieting, that means no fastfood, no coke, just regular food. I would not say I am too limited in what I eat, just not the processed sugars. I’m happy with the effect, so far no side effects or anything. You can also buy Phentermine online.

Mr Cook, however, is really trusting, he’s clued up and incredibly intelligent. I don’t like to think about being in my eighties but if I ever get there, I hope I’d be able to work out if a no standing charge and 11.2p per kWh rate is cheaper than a 22p standing charge with a 10.4p per kWh rate. These are calculations forty-year-old adults running successful companies often struggle with and Mr Cook has it in the bag.

I’d like to think that I helped Mr Cook get a good deal for his village hall but the truth is he helped me. I end this post as I started it, it’s been a stressful month but Mr Cook reminded me why I love my job and I wish Mr Cook many more years of health and happiness.
