    Oh that's a pity but I wouldn't give up yet...if the other dealership hears of the competition will they shut that element anyway? How are they doing? Maybe ask about and review accounts/D&B search?

    Don't waste all the effort yet would be my initial thought Lucielle

    Have a good day x

    The other dealers sales have been sliding for the past 3 years. This is according to the rep who deals with him. He says he shows no interest. We're still proceeding and if it does go pear shape we can bail out through ebay.

    Weather has been fab this week. Hard to believe we had snow last Saturday and then 12 degrees yesterday. Lots of washing has been dried outside. My children think I'm strange because my favourite job is pegging out washing!

    Might try and weed the raspberry bed today.

    No we had to commit to a certain amount of machinery. They expect a certain amount of sales, however it the other guy is still trading I think we're within our roghts to knock his amount off our total IYKWIM. We'll see what happens.

    Another busy week at work. Made a right c0ckup the other day and had to spent most of an afternoon correcting it. Hopefully the figures will add up.

    OH has got really busy as well, a golfing club whose machinery we service wants us to provide a quote for a service contract. If we win this it will really help with the cash flow, especially in winter.

    Managed to lob a £100 off the debt when I got paid last Friday. It's going sooo slloooowwwlllyyy, I feel like I'll never reach the end.

    Played badminton and went swimming. Put on 3/4lb probaby due to the fact that I ate my own bodyweight in chocolate last Friday (no mean feat I tell ya). Trouble is I can be good all week and then fall off the wagon at the weekend. I need to get out of this cycle.

    Going to pop into the village and do some banking, drop some stuff off at the charity shop and then collapse on the settee with my book. It probably wont pan out that way.

    Hi L
    It might be slow going but that's an impressive more than 90% paid off. (I just hope my arithmetic is up to this.....). Hope the dealership goes through and what a good idea to include the other dealer's sales in the totals expected.

    Pah! so much for being good, just scoffed a packet of walkers sensations.

    Forgot to say in other news, the bathroom that's been decorated, even yhough it was bathroom paint, its peeling! Had to get a new socket for the cooker as it stopped working and noticed last night a crack in the top of our woodburner. Not sure what's going to happen its not gone all the way through, yet!!
