My girlfriend, Nicola has recently decided to go it alone and has set up her own accounting services company in Burscough, Lancashire.

Harrison and Company offer accounting services at very competitive rates with a friendly and approachable manner, and they’re very flexible and happy to work in whatever way suits your business.

Nicola is very experienced. She joined her previous employer in August 2002 as a Trainee Accountant and successfully qualified in February 2006 with first time passes in all papers. She was made an Associate of the firm in April 2008 following her valued contribution and effort within the Practice and continued as Practice Manager until leaving the Practice last week.

She’s currently running an introductory discount that makes her pricing even more attractive than usual, but you’d best be quick if you want to take advantage of it as places are limited!

It was my birthday on Friday. I’m now 28 years old. Wow. It feels like only yesterday I donned my “18″ t-shirt knowing that it would get me a free beer in each of Dolgellau‘s pubs – and that was now 10 years ago. Scary.

Never mind all that though because this year, (for the first time in over 20 years!) someone made me a birthday cake! Nicola very kindly made me a very tasty Victoria sponge and even wrote happy birthday on it. She did crack a joke about not having enough candles (you’re only a year younger, woman!) but the slice of cake – which was still warm from the oven – was gorgeous so I decided to forgive her.

I can only assume that zombies are cute and fluffy up in Lancashire, as this was Nicola’s reaction to a trailer for Colin, the zombie movie that cost £45 to make:
