Invicta said… Miranda,
Thank you for your comments. I did get CRB. It was paid for through a Housing Association called Anchor Trust who I contacted and had some work for me. Unfortunately they pay a very poor rate and the requests for work are so spasmodic that it soon became clear it wasn't sustainable financially. However, it was when I first started so I didn't have a full Diary and I got a CRB out of it while learning my trade. If we don't "speak" beforehand have a Merry Christmas, Bernard

If yoiu are interested my freeIndex page is at http://www.ladybirdgardenservicestewkesbury.freeindex.co.uk/
I need to reduce the words and improve the images while not making it so easy to get access to information competitors :) which is why I am now looking at my own web page.

I took a look at your web site. Content and structure = excellent. At the moment, I use FreeIndex as my site which isn't ideal but got me started.
Would you mind telling me what WIX is?
Is it free?
how did you create your site (is there a template you drop text and images into?
