Feeling Good Today

Options
Well many of you will have seen me on here over the last week or so in a complete state over my finances, i am self-employed and me and OH have a small business, well things are starting to pick up - ive really curbed all spending and todays been such a busy day in the shop! Ive set a target that we have to meet each week to cover my wage, OH wage and pay for all the debts/bills for the business, and as long as I stick to it (which does seem realistic) we will soon catch up - just wanted to thank everyone who has kept my chin up for the last few days etc and now ive had another :idea: moment that I WILL SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL (even though its miles off!! - lol), i know i will have rubbish days aswell but for today at least im feeling really positive................. :T

    Wicked news DottyAnne, been wondering how youve been doing!!

    If the business "breaks even" by paying both of you and the bills, then thats fine isnt it!

    You'll get there! Glad youve been busy in the shop too xx
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind

    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Thanks Chortle - i think it was you who actually gave me the virtual kick up the a**e that I needed to do my sums and plan properly what i needed to be making, etc... i've done that and done my personal budget - i know the next couple of months will be tight whilst i play catch up but then the pressure will be off and i know i can do it !!! Thanks for all your advice - and i know where you are if i need you again .............. ;)
