    Have a bit of a scary moment this afternoon as I am seeing my main client from my business and am going to break the news to him that I am closing the business down......I know he will not take it well as I have basically baby sat him for the last 5 years and have done everything bookkeeping wise.

    I have also scared myself as I have worked out that I earn around 5K a year from the business. The extra money is nice but it no longer makes up for the lost weekends, stress and at the moment feelings of total dread when I have to do any time spent on business work.

    I know I have made the right decision to end it completely.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I have already told 2 of my clients and the relief was brilliant just knowing that I will never again have a pile of bookwork looking at me in the office that I just cant face doing.

    Off to get the fraggles up for school...........see you all later xx

  • Morning all,

    Overcast here and I'm not sure what the forecast for today is - gloomy probably. On my second load of washing already and have fetched my groceries for the week.

    Hope you are all well.

    Morning, not sure about the weather here today - it's trying to be sunny but it's still early.
    I have a manic week, working everyday! Will be glad to have my weekend free.
