    I'm too scared to go to an auction yet. I used to go to several a week in a previous life but musn't at the mo. You may have done better than you thought....you just haven't found the right little item in the bottom of a box yet.

    Yes davesnave, if we wanted the business could absorb two people full time. We'd get paid more and have a different clientele....but thats not right for us for now. It would be handy if i could make a loss, but the next thing would be things we can't claim, but would need to borrow for. The hedge order might put a but of a dent in it. Next year has to be different. I absoltuely hate and detest that we are looking to not make a profit out of financial need next year. It makes me sick to my stomach and any system that in essence seems to demand it, imo stinks. It makes me cross that i could go out and buy something i do not need for ' the business' that is really for us and be legal, but to put us in a better situation to employ someone we cannot claim that back. Which is really better for the country, my community and us?

    Like much of the rpa stuff, it makes me cross and disappointed i am trying to fit in a system like a square peg ina round hole.


    Tonight coming back from buying food......to tired to cook!....we stopped outside the field to let a dazed hare cross the road. So beautiful. I love hares.

    My Panto costume is almost done.

    Luckily, I'm a man of few words; just a peasant really.

    No real change of behaviour necessary! :rotfl:

    I would certainly have a use for one of those suits, if I measured up, but sadly.......:(

    That must have been a fine figure of a man in those suits. Dh is a square ish shape, his suit jackets are 38/40 depending on the diet and excersice plan, and his waist about 32/33. :).

    We have an enormous padded dress for the lovely but very ample Maid Marion in our panto. She isn't ID'd, so the audience will assume the other maid is the one who attracts Robin....until the final scene!:D

    I'm not too posh for yer suits, just the wrong shape. Have to get something for a wedding soon. ;)
