    Another day off today. Been really busy at work as its coming up for our year end. Nothing planned, probably exercise the hoover and may clean out my car, it gepends how cold it is. Weather forecast is prediciting snow overnight, great.

    DS1 and DD1 are going out tonight so I hope they'll be ok. Got a big meeting next week with the hopes of securing a new dealership. I need to draft up some blurb to promote the business in some of the places we advertise as its potentially coming up to the busiest time of year for us.

    Grocery spends are still out of control, so need to keep them in check and must remember that not every yellow sticker is a bargain!

    The weather has been fab this week. Got 3 loads of wshing dried today and it makes such a difference.

    Had an all day meeting with the potential for getting a well known dealership. Think of a well known chainsaw make and hopefully we'll be dealers. It was an intense meeting and our accountant came along. Honestly she was bloody briliant. The poor chap didn't know what had hit him, most people fall to the floor and kiss his feet and thank him, accountant was like a terrier and wouldn't let him away with anything. We're both absolutely shattered and probably off to bed shortly.

    Lost 2lbs this week. Played badminton and been swimming so feeling pleased.

    Well done on the 2lbs and the sport, most impressive!

    I haven't had any washing out this year, the garden is still wet and we've only had one day of sunshine [and I need to wipe down the line ;)]

    The meeting sounds like it went well, when will you know if you've got the dealership?

    The paperwork is going through the system but had a bit of a blow today. There is another dealer not too far away from us and part of our deal was that he would be closed down when we were up and running. Told today that this would not be the case. Do we go ahead or stop it right now?

    Depends how much it will cost you & what the possible returns are.
    What does the accountant say?
