Mouse mat news
Well here we are again; it is some time since I posted any news to this blog so now I have some catching up to do.
Mouse mats are going well, thank you very much for all your hard work, and some of the new style mousemats are beginning to work their way into the arena. To remind every one of what is on offer: all of the old standard mouse mats, selling particularly well are the hardtop mats and ultra thin mats, mats with special features have taken a bit of a nose dive but interest in Aqua Mats is strong. As a consequence we have two new products the Aqua Mat Rest, with or without inserts, and the Hardtop Mat Rest both in the same style as the translucent and textile gel mat rests. Mat rests are a little expensive compared with standard mouse mats but make a very effective business gift that will stay on the desk for a long time.
Not so far back in time I wrote about a plumbing and heating company in Woking, Surrey because we were so pleased with their services. This company works very hard to provide an excellent service and deserve some recognition so any one out there with a sad old boiler in need of some TLC check out this website www.mjwest.co.uk

Reflections on mouse mats and printed pens
When I first got the job (?) of writing these blogs I thought that my daily drivel would never be read except by some bored or under employed members of the company but not by anyone else out there. Well, imagine my surprise when requests for free mouse mats samples and recycled pens started to flood in – the only place free samples has ever been mentioned is in the mousemat or printed pen blog so someone out there is/has been reading. My first thought on realising this was that I must be missing a trick here, if the blog is being read what can I sell the reader that we haven’t already thought of? My sad little mind has not come up with the answer – clearly I would never be the kind of material Alan Sugar recruits (– are you all addicted to the Apprentice as well? Who is going to get the job? My bets are on the quiet girl – I think – I may revise my opinion after Wednesday’s show – see? I can never make up my mind). So it’s back to printed mouse mats and printed pens then.
