Trading Coaching For Cooking – That’s How I Roll

February 15th, 2010 No Comments

Hi guys,

One of the most common questions I get asked is “But how do you get food?”

So far there have been various ways:

  1. When I house sit there is usually food left for me
  2. I get invited to dinner a lot (my friends like to feed me)
  3. When I’m at my folks there is always food, so I’ll never go hungry

The last one has been a bit of an issue for me and for some of my more critical readers. I must say I have to agree with them, the support I have been getting from my parents is the thing I am most grateful and most resentful of at the same…very confusing emotionally let me tell you!

I know I shouldn’t judge where support comes from but the fact that a lot of it has been from my folks kinda feels like cheating, you know what I mean? In return I do my bit to be valuable around the house.  I do things like wash dishes, mow the lawn and generally just try to be as helpful as I can. I definitely and getting more than I am giving and I guess that is where the uneasiness comes in.

Having said all of that, I am please to announce that I have a new way of feeding myself. One that I am proud of and one where I feel like I am giving fair exchange for the food I receive.

How so? I have a new coaching client called Joanne Clegg, she is working on launching a catering company called The Food Crew. And guess what, she pays in food…how cool is that?

Wanting To Drink This NYE But Don’t Want To Drive? I’ll Be Your Designated Driver…

December 30th, 2009 3 Comments

Picture the scene: You and your mates want to go out for a night of fun, mischief, shenanigans, tom-foolery or maybe even some downright mayhem. But there’s a problem. You don’t want to get caught drunk driving, have an accident or worse. Sometimes the price we pay to party is pretty steep and it may be more than our credit that gets crunched!

Why not assign a designated driver? Seems fair enough, right? One of your crew takes one for the team so the rest of you can have a stress free party.  But how do you decide who has to stay sober so the rest of you can ‘Phuza’ yourselves? You can only play Rock Paper Scissors so many times, right?

Well, I’m making it real easy for…I’ll be your DESIGNATED DRIVER! You see, I have been a non-drinker for almost 8 years and it just doesn’t make sense to me that people drink and drive…it’s just not worth it. I can’t think of a better act of friendship than getting you home safely.

I’ve wanted to do this for a while and now I’m finally doing it. Because I’m so excited about this project I’m starting immediately. What better night to have a designated driver than New Years Eve? Wouldn’t you and your mates love to celebrate the end of this decade without one of you having to ‘miss out’? With me as your DESIGNATED DRIVER there will be no need for ‘Ching Chong Cha’ tomorrow before you head out for you the party of the decade!

How does it work?

  • I drive my scooter to your house
  • We get into your car and go pick up each of your friends (max 5 people in the car)
  • I drive you to where you want to go and we party together (yes, me too)
  • When you want to leave I drop each of you safely back at home
  • I then drive home on my scooter

my scooter, ain't she cute?

my scooter, ain't she cute?

What’s in it for me?

Feed me, hydrate me and get me into where ever you are going on the night…that’s all! As you probably know, I’ve committed living without money for 5 years, so this is a way for me to keep that promise.

Simply right? If this sounds like the idea of the decade, and you want me as your DESIGNATED DRIVER this NYE, please get in touch with me ASAP.

THIS OFFER IS VALID FOR PARTY PEOPLE IN CAPE TOWN ONLY.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Much love and take care.

Title: Inter-Personal Assistant
Category: Labour & Assistance
Description: I’ve realised that many people can’t always get to do everything they need to. Maybe they can’t get away from work, maybe their car is being fixed or maybe there is something they need to do that they just don’t wanna do.

Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone had a personal assistant to take care of that stuff? But seriously, who can afford a full time personal assistant anyway? In fact, who needs one? We can take care of most things that come our way but every now and then we need a bit of help…that’s where I come in!

As your interpersonal assistant I can do those once off, random, inconvenient things that you just can’t get to. And you can share me…I don’t mind.

So far I’ve helped my friends Callie & Steve move for a Woolies card, I washed my friend Anastacia’s dishes for some toiletries, I fetched my brother’s protein shake stuff for petrol and I’ve mowed lawns and and and…

The Beancounter Has Been Taking Lank Good Care Of Me

November 12th, 2009 No Comments

My new friend, Marnus Broodryk – the Beancounter - picked me up from Telana’s house last night at about 7pm. I met his colleague Christo and some of his other friends in Joburg.

We then went to have some aweome pizza at Pannerrottis and had a reasonably early night. We did this because Marnus insisted on waking up dawn’s crack to get on the road to Harrismith. (by dawn’s crack I mean 4h50am for me…even  earlier for Marnus & Christo – I am still trying to work out if it is an Afrikaans thing, or an accountant thing or both but these okes are organised!)

Just out of Joburg we stopped for a brekkie at the Total garage…YUM!

Now I am sitting in one of the spare offices at the premises in Harrismith and guess what…I AM USING THE INTERNET - hallelujah!!!!! And, they are even gonna try fix my laptop for me after the launch tonight.

Ek is baie dankbaar vir hul gasvryheid. (I am very grateful for their hospitality)

Now, I reckon tonight is gonna be alot of fun…but before we do that we are visiting a home for handicapped children and an old age home – these Beancounters have a heart too – my kind of people!

If you want to know more about them, you can check out their fan page on Facebook or go to their website
