Birthday Plans, gone awry

Well I had an idea for my birthday.

I don't as a general rule, have massive plans for my birthday but I thought since it was the big 25 I'd put my back into it and PARTY.

Two options for my birthday came up, I made the call and finessed the idea.

Made and sent out invitations.

And then it all went to hell in a hand cart.

I found out that I had invited some people who I hadn't really mean't to invite and although I feel confident they would decline, I wouldn't know what to do with if they did attend.

So I recalled the invite (lol Indian giving, is especially amusing because the original place was Indian for a bollywood night) to later recreate it and correct this mistake.

Only to find that the venue had double booked my request!

So back to the second option!

Yahoo? We lost $458m but its ok

So what Yahoo! have reported a US $303 million dollar lost, in the last three months alone of 2008? CEO Carol Batrz still has a peppy optimism about 2009 saying ‘We have work to do, but I am excited by Yahoo’s! Opportunities.’

I guess she’d want to be or the share holders will lynch her. What a frightening thought that companies that that much to lose!Like the German billionaire, Adolf Merckle, who committed suicide after his empire ‘ran into trouble’ with this recent financial crisis. It was been reported he ran up losses of about 400m euros - $535m!! After a loss on Volkswagon shares.

Even haute couture is suffering, with people becoming self proclaimed ‘rescissionistas’ and glossy mags publishing ‘Recessionista Fabulous’ articles!!

It seems everyone is getting wise to the ‘belt tightening’ except our fat friend, Ronald. McDonalds that is reporting an 80 per cent profit rise!
How would you like the $US 4.3 billion dollars that they made in 2008?

I must confess, working in the confectioney industry, we haven't felt any slow down. If nothing else we are going very well, as is evident, people get depressed and eat junk food!

Better late than never

Happy New Year to those of you out in blogger land.

In natural self-styling, I get the urge to revamp my blog at quarter to ten! So just a quick post to apologise for being a bad blogger with promise of more to come soon.
Lovin this template, thank goodness for those with patience out there!
