    He just phoned again, sounds a little more positive, I think he's got over the initial shock.

    There's a possibility that some of the other senior staff might buy the owners out so fingers crossed.
    It needs new owners that have a passion to run it properly, hubby has said for a long time that it's so frustrating how they let customers build up big debts yet continue doing work for them!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    morning everyone

    Ooh slate, I hope it works out ok with the meeting.

    Lovely pic luc :) little sweetie, but there goes your peace and quiet, lily is into everything she shouldn't have. I swear I'm going to ebay all of her toys for the use she gets out of them. Give her a bit of fluff or a sweet wrapper and she'll sit there for ages.

    I don't know what to do today, kids are bored. Amber keeps giving me a suitcase and telling me to go and pack. I assume she means for all of us and she's not throwing me out on the streets.
