Great day at the 1230 AOB Conference

Thanks firstly to Jackie and her team for making yesterdays yearly event informative, fun and productive!

The sun was shining and we met some wonderful creative and inspiring business ladies who we are sure to stay in contact with and some old friends we have met along our chocolate journey……

Especially loved Annabel Kaye’s humorous talk and the invigorating Claire Young of the apprentice fame, another fast talking lady even I couldn’t keep up with!!!

Good luck to all looking forward to next years event.

16th March AOB?

How inspirational people can be!
I had a great day yesterday at the AOB conference. I tend to be that person who has loads of ideas but can never quite materialise them, but I came away from yesterday thinking anything is possible.

Literally – where there’s a will there’s a way!
Keep going with those fantastic ideas ladies and change the world!

On the same theme I had become a little despondent about the direction Keston Natural Health Practice was moving in. All of a sudden we are moving to new premesis in West Wickham and I am truly excited at what the future holds!
So keep hold of that glimmer in the future!!

Parachute Jump

Hi everyone
I am doing another, and probably my final, tandem parachute jump to raise money for St Raphael’s Hospice, Cheam, Surrey. My mother spent her last few days there and she and all my family were looked after so well and thus I want to say ‘thank you’ to them for all their care.

If you feel you could sponsor me then please go to my JustGiving page and add your donation.

Thank you so very much.

She’s At It Again!

Paola Bagnall intrepid Super Star of the Skies, is doing another parachute jump on 9 May, subject to weather conditions.

Paola says “Yes, I am doing it again — a parachute jump because I love the feeling of freedom and floating!

I’m raising money for St Raphael’s Hospice this time, where Mamma (my mother) spent her last few days, and I’d really appreciate your support.

It’s easy to donate online with a credit or debit card – just go to my JustGiving page:

JustGiving sends your donation straight to St Raphael’s Hospice and automatically reclaims Gift Aid on all eligible donations, so what you give is worth even more. I hope you’ll join me in supporting St Raphael’s Hospice.

Thank you so very much – love to you all
Paola”

National fame at last!!

Having had a photo shoot in my own home last August, the article has now been published in the current edition of ’25 Beautiful Homes.’ (Page 154) Whilst it is great to have this recognition, I am rather disappointed by the lack of marketing opportunity for my business-an interior styling/designing consultancy. If you blink you miss the passing reference! I, also, now have a certain sympathy with celebrities-I must have been misquoted on at least 90% of the text!! Anyway, I must be doing something right to have been featured in the first place! So, go right out and buy a copy-autographs on request-or at least have a quick look next time you are in W H Smith’s!
