Christmas Stocking Filler Idea – Steamcream

Have you tried this fabulous cream yet? My best discovery this year! The perfect gift, for man, woman and child and the latest concept in skincare, Steamcream

Steamcream

uses a revolutionary steam-infused manufacturing process. This provides a long-lasting and effective form of skincare that can be used on face, body and hands. This unique, gentle and loosely-bound emulsion allows each ingredient to breakdown and penetrate areas on the skin that other creams find hard to reach.  These ingredients include a moisturising and soothing oatmeal infusion, orange flower water and healing lavender oil.

There are several designer tins available – one for each member of the family!

Party Food and Entertaining

The season is upon us! We have our first Travelling Souk party this week! Luckily we are spoilt for choice with our fabulous online larder.

We love the delicious sliced smoked duck breast and pear starter recipe or, for a less formal occasion goat’s cheese, duck breast and orange on a oatmeal biscuit is a winner every time.

If you are feeding the five thousand our delicious chicken liver pate will stretch forever and is loved by all.

BT Power Failure And Why You Should Have A Failover Line

A power failure yesterday at one of BT’s major exchanges was causing huge ADSL issues all over the UK for the most part of the day. As we all know, businesses rely on the internet, without the internet your business will be unable to operate and this can have many negative impacts depending on the length of the down time.

 

At Knowall IT we recommend to our clients that they have a failover line with a different ISP, so in the above instance, when the BT line goes down, it will failover to the secondary line. This is an automated process that is done by the firewall so you will not even notice the internet going down.

Knowall IT offers a managed firewall service where you can rent the equipment from us and we will fully manage and support the firewall. Knowall can also offer business grade broadband solutions – Click Here

Please get in contact with us if you are looking for a more reliable and robust broadband solution or are requiring any further IT Support.

Redecoration work of lounge/dining

We have just completed another job in Surrey. A couple of years ago we refurbished the bathroom, kitchen and bedrooms for this client and now the client wanted to modernise the downstairs of the property. It started off as bringing a lounge/dining room from the 70s to present day.  We stripped the rooms from the very old-fashioned wallpaper, safely removed artex ceiling and fitted decorative coving.  Re-plastered all rooms and fitted bespoke wall units/book shelves.  We decorated the ceiling, walls, all woodwork and fitted solid oak flooring.  The hall, stairs and landing was redecorated too.
