    Hey All

    Have spent the day in sort it mode. Did a viewing this morning, really nice older guy. Reminded me a lot of Larry Lamb. Fingers crossed for future bookings.

    I have also

    * Contacted and discussed possibilities to work together with one old contact

    * Messaged another but haven't heard back yet

    * Suggested a JV with a former client for a special event

    * Posted on all the social medias

    * Discussed another JV with someone else

    * Messaged another contact

    * Answered two new enquiries that came in today. One annoyingly was sent via a third party platform and it didn't turn up for two days, so doubt that's still live in any case.

    * An invoice had been settled and was in my account

    * Am just arranging a view for tonight as well.

    So I'm trying.

    Bob

  • Sorry to hear the news Bob - but looks as though you're already onto looking for new opportunities. It will sort itself out I'm sure. Do not let it spoil your holiday - you really deserve to enjoy that.

    Some how makes you feel it's never enough. There will always be something.

    But. Whilst I feel pretty worried. I also feel that bad things can often lead to good. There might be the best opportunity ever just around the corner and if this didn't happen then it I couldn't fit that in. Or something.

    Right coffee. Then we get on with life.

    Your positivity is inspiring. I'm sure a really good opportunity is waiting for you around the corner.

    Oyster info:

    Daily cap on oyster or debit card = £4.50
    Weekly cap on debit card = £21.40 (or £21.60, sorry, not sure)
    You can buy a weekly bus pass with your oyster and it is also capped at £21.40 (or 21.60).

    Any use? Now that ds has stopped the dance class(es), it may be of no mse use, but thought it worth a mention.

    It is bad. But hopefully fixable. The fact that April is D day for the new business rates kicking in, whatever that will bring, plus losing around £400 in one fell swoop is somewhat scary. I'm with you, it will sort itself out. :)
