The first couple of weeks of January for BETE, like many businesses, is a quiet time whilst our customers come back and settle in to work after their holidays. All that business that got pushed to next year due to the Christmas break is soon going to have to start happening and all the new business needs to be done as well. Today is probably they last day of that quiet before the storm. I find this time very useful for doing those "tidying" tasks that there never seems to be time to do. 

So my list of tasks that have been completed during this period is

- Removing old code from my html headers in this web site 

- Tidying up our on line catalogue

- Cleansing and de-duplicating our customer database

All boring and time consuming but I know that if I leave it until later this week it will probably be another year before I get round to it!
