Most payments accepted; Cash, Cheque, Bank transfer, eggs, jam, cake. I wonder how I'll put that down on my tax return

Quick analysis of how I've been traveling since 2015.
Car usage is slowly decreasing, which is due to my focus on local work, and occasionally passing on work to other 'computer people' located nearer to the customer.
The decrease in cycling is because I'm often carrying people's computers around, it's safer to walk with them. I've discovered that Battle has an excellent network of footpaths which makes getting around quick (although wellingtons are often needed at this time of year!)
Please help me to improve my "green credentials" in 2020 by recommending me to your friends in Battle.
Thanks, Dale :-)

iPhone 7 charging port replaced today, has to be the most nervous and challenging thing I've done for a while.
Happy customer though :-)

Does anyone here use the NextDoor website? I wonder if a few of you could give me a nice recommendation there?!?
The people at NextDoor have just added a facility on their website for business listings, I've added my business, but for it to be visible it needs a couple of reviews :-)
Many thanks,
Dale

Found myself doing a number of electronics repairs recently. All quite reasonable, of course!

During the last 2 years fixing computers I've met many people with Apple Macs, so to help me fix them faster and with greater confidence I've just bought one for myself to play with.
So far I'm liking it. Great to learn new skills

If you find them useful then please share :-)

For instant help with small computer problems, I am now able to offer remote assistance. (i.e. I can connect up to your computer's screen). It's good for training too, often easier than trying to explain things over the phone :-)

Remote computer assistance I now offer “remote assistance”, i.e. the ability for me to connect to your computer’s screen. This can be used in a lot of situations to quickly sort out problems. When we’re finished, the link between me and your computer automatically disappears. There are no programs t…

So far this year 58% of my work-related journeys have been by bicycle or on foot.
Let's see if that figure can be improved in 2016...
