Hi,pride is something we all feel but if you are like me you probably don’t show it enough.Pride in ourselves,pride in others,pride in a uniform needs to be expressed and acknowledged.As Kiwis we are typically humble and tend to let our pride fly under the radar a little more than we should.So I am officially breaking the mold and announcing how proud I was of my wife Christine last weekend for helping organise and partcipating in our local volunteer fire brigades 50th anniversary and open day celebrations! I think it is important to shout stuff like this from the roof tops and to make sure the people closest to you know exactly how you feel!Your mission is to tell someone how proud you are of them in the coming week…….it will make you and them feel awesome! Just do it!!

Fletcher says; the best thing about the Fire Brigade open day was definitely the bouncy castle closely followed by squirting his Father with a high pressure fire fighting hose! (attached).

The pitter patter of tiny feet is normally something to celebrate unless of course they are of the rodent variety!We have had several furry families attempting to move into #48 this winter and have managed to repel them by laying baits regularly.The unpleasant downside is the smell eminating from the ceiling for a week or two after each eradication campaign.The shallow cavity between our ceiling and our roof is such that we are unable to remove before the decomposition stage!!!I have  developed a brief explanation script for visitors to warn them……that’s life in the country folks!!

Its business end time at RWC 2015 and I cant wait for next weekends quarter finals where the top teams in the world will go head to head….ruggers heaven,it doesn’t get any better…GO ALL BLACKS !!

I hope you are enjoying life whatever you are up to, take care have a good one.….……Cheers Jonesey!

I love buying and wearing something new.

It always makes me feel good and that gives me confidence and I reckon people I meet react positively to me if I look and feel a million bucks.

I was lucky enough to discover a scooby doo deal on a suit (new not recycled J) recently the wearing of which happened to coincide with me closing a couple of good deals!

I felt great and I reckon the threads made me look and feel successful which is exactly what happened.

It is easy to get complacent about how you look and what you wear but the reality is that it matters!

Taking time over your appearance is essential if you want to project the right image no matter what you do.

I remember many years ago I bought a a pre loved Armani suit at a Primary School jumble sale for $15.

It was navy and could have been tailored for me it fitted so well and looked amazing……how do I know….well apart from my own opinion it was also the opinion of everyone I met in that suit.It was a suit with X factor and with me in it there was no stopping the deals from flowing inJ.

Maybe it wasn’t that good but it seemed it and I cherished the opportunities to wear that suit because together we were winners!

I also had a Pierre Cardin double breasted blazer (new) of epic Fleet Admiral proportion and it looked and made me feel like royalty…….yes clothes, accessories and grooming are a critical success factor.

Speaking of accessories the recent coup de gras for me is definitely the wooden eco watch equally at home with suits and casual attire and more of a talking point than a Tag or Rolex would ever be !!

Yes perception is everything so always be on the look out for the X factor edition to your wardrobe!!!
