Try and chill a little.
Could you do something nice as a family tomorrow, make a picnic, just get out and about?
Then face Monday with a clean head.

Can he resign as a director at this point? If the company is being dissolved does it make any difference? Sorry if I'm being thick.:A Let us be grateful to people who make us happy: they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. Marcel Proust :A0

he can say "thats it... " and i think it ends the company - i think there is a clause they have in a contract somewhere. dunno - he is really trying to be noble and help sort it. they all really peeved off with himHighest Debt £581,000 Nov 08 and now owe nothing! yes really!

I would imagine they're all quite frankly frightened at this point. Nobody is going to see the best intentions in anything, every man for himself.
A little break from it tomorrow would maybe help you all. However fully understand that saying that from here is so easy and actually trying to switch off there is completely different. I'm guilty of sticking my head under the duvet and refusing to come out in such circumstances so not talking from a position of strength here.:A Let us be grateful to people who make us happy: they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

That is a sad sad post. Have been in this position myself, and to be honest, five years down the line, I still don't know what the truth is/was. I didn't/don't really want to know.
Do you know what the truth is? Or just that you don't know? Would the truth make you feel better or worse?Debt free as of July 2010 :j
