  • right, so looks like I need to get this 10k off the ground asap! One of my clients has just informed me due to the current economic climate, the bank have called in his overdraft and his credit card company have removed his credit facility leaving him with no option other than bankruptcy :(

    What does this mean to me? I lose about 1/3rd of my monthly turnover in one swift phonecall - money we can not afford to lose.
    £4142.49/ £131,795.91 - 3.14% paid off or only £129,608.80 to go!

  • Ouch, sorry about that NLID. What do you do? Is there any chance of getting another client?

    Looking on the bright side - you have already started this new venture and aren't far off being ready to go, and now you will have more time to devote to the extra features too!! Started thinking about your home page today. How full on sales do you want it to be? Do you want to go for the big - "Do you want to increase your sales? Do you want to know what your competitors are selling? Do you nned an easy way to do product research?" or a more subtle approach? Prob best to pm me - only asking on here now as about to run upstairs to put children to bed!!
    Life is a work in progress

    Hi everyone - sorry to hear your news NLID, hopefully you can turn it round to your advantage, like others have said.
    Hi Jo - i read your blog from Sunday - sounds like you had a lovely day, it's magical when things go so smoothly, your children sound really creative and fun. How's your work going? I hope you're still enjoying it.
    I've not been making much progress with this challenge - January was pretty good but it all went downhill from there. Life seems to take over and there's never enough hours in the day. I'm hoping things will pick up in the summer months. It will come!
    Mabel - well done on your big internet order :)
    Saucy - sorry to hear about your day yesterday - i'm sure things will be better in May :) (I mean your May course :))
    Hope everyone else is ok xxx

    Hi everyone, I'm really bad at keeping up with the thread this last couple of weeks. There doesn't ever seem to be enough time in the day.

    I know what you mean Yukki - I have time to post but not to read everything anymore - I don't like feeling that i'm missing out though - I used to read every word but it took hours.
