Sanity Salad anyone??!
It was a normal tea-time, you know the one.... negotiating mouthfuls with my four year old, negotiating staying sat in her seat with the 2 year old (she is like Houdini with any highchair straps – it’s quite incredible!), trying to listen to my 6 year old who was telling me all about his day at school, fielding requests for more drinks, and sauces, and food, and oh yeah, trying to eat a few mouthfuls myself in between too!

How are you treating your potential customers?
I spent the best part of yesterday inviting complete strangers in to my home to quote for some pressing plumbing work, I had two experiences that were poles apart.
