Here’s a little bit of an insight into the life of a start-up company…

08:30 – Wake up. Not exactly super-early I know…but then my commute is probably only about 10 metres. I would have previously descibed myself as an early morning person…but my timetable has been slightly skewed over the last few months! Still, not going to complain about being able to avoid the smelly armpit gauntlet that is the tube at 8 in the morning. I should explain at this point that CompletelyNovel HQ is where Oli and myself live as well as work. Technically, Jon lives somewhere else but actually, he spends much more time here than he does at his place. He will often arrive on a Monday morning and not go home until the Friday!

09:00 – having showered, dressed and breakfasted on nutritious and delicious muesli, I will join Oli and Jon in the office, which is located conveniently next to the kichen. Jon will get up and ask if anyone would like a cup of tea. This will be the first of many. Oli and I have started doing tag-team tea drinking just to keep up with Jon throughout the day – and I now drink tea that is so weak, I think it is probably illegal to refer to it as ‘tea’.

General daytime activities…
