    Hairdressers today. Thankfully! It's wild. Matches with the weather then! I usually walk in but it takes an hour and in this weather I suspect it would take two and I'd getting there looking like a drowned rat. Though I could probably wash my hair on the way over and make up some of that time!

    My hairdresser went travelling so it's one of the others that he recommended. :eek: On the plus side, she's cheaper than he is! So we'll see...

    That seems a dangerous philosophy. He might come back to no customers!!:eek::eek: Try not to have hair like the smilie.

    keep up the good work :)

    What a great post to have at the top of the thread. I see it whenever I log in and it inspires me to do exactly that! :D

    What's up with the smilie's hair Butti? Blue being my colour and all, that's what I took it to show the new hairdresser! :eek: That's me that is. Like it? (Don't think my hairdresser is planning on coming back any time soon so he won't be too worried.)

    I'm off to browse setting up business type info now! Too many ideas for what I want to do next buzzing round in my head!

    The good thing about setting up on my own is that, going through this process of paying off my debts does mean I am not likely to be unrealistic with the figures! I'll just need a really good accountant to triple check them!!! :D

    I figure now's the time to learn about setting up a business and by the time I get my head round everything I need to do, I'll actually be in a position to do it!

    Not sure where VSO comes into it, but I'm sure that'll works itself out when the time comes!

    Not an accountant but have worked with Accounts all my working life and have helped friends setting up in business with forecasts and budgets and that sort of thing. Shout if you need a hand!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Oh how you may live to regret that! :D Have already emailed Mike about designy stuff. And quizzed my computer whizz friend re. websites!

    Figuring out how to join the dots less in a squiggily mess and more in an organised chaos kind of a way. :p Nicca said that. Not Steve. Though I hope he's watching over me and giving Karma a nudge in the right direction. :rotfl:

    Butti, I've always been an international icon. I just don't make it known. :rotfl: (Nor does any-one else though.)

    No, no, Steve said lots of clever stuff, above quote included. I just made it my own by adding the squiggily mess. As is my wont. :D

    Wonderful stuff! Whats the business going to be, niccatw, or would you rather not say out in the open, so to speak?

    My current fave given my choice to change career and my search for that elusive job in our flatlining economy,

    Don't waste your time living someone else's life

    ie. It's difficult but I will get there.
