Unfollowed
I recently expressed an opinion on certain social media sites about the housing market, the difficulty of buying a house, and the attitude you should adopt. In my humble opinion.

Things that offend and outrage never cease to amaze me
You would not believe the content of some of the queries and phone calls we receive on a daily basis. Things that move individuals to seek legal advice or want to take legal action.

Vlogging-why would you vlog?
I watched a video last night which explained why vlogging is so popular and why a person like me, or other small business owner, might create vlogs. A vlog, as I understand it anyway, is a video log. It is a bit like a diary entry except you are creating the content with a video.… Continue reading Vlogging-why would you vlog?
