Definitely! Thank goodness for that.

Keeping fingers crossed that you get a good offer on Monday.

Well done sounds like you had practised well and got what you wanted. Roll on Monday your cheer squad will all be waiting to see what she says.

I hope you get a good offer - and if you do, make sure that the details of the consultancy (role, hours, pay etc) are clearly set out - ideally as a handover so that the bulk of the time is up front. It needs to be worth your while!

Sounds like you did all you possibly could to keep the sale going forward the way you want it to😍. Fingers crossed they come back with a good offer, but you know that if they don't it doesn’t matter too much. Which from your perspective makes it a whole lot less stressful!

Now to have a restfull weekend and not think about it too much!!

All the best for Monday!

At least you know of a very likely candidate should you chose to change your accountant.

thanks. Let’s see what Monday brings. Trying not to think about it now but even not thinking seems to be stressing 🤷‍♀️

Go and do something that doesn't give you the space to think - I used to run to deal with work stress as if I can't run, breathe, and think at the same time :)

A dilemma. The wood chopping persons arrived Thursday but without a decent chainsaw 🤷‍♀️only a battery one I was in work meetings. VNM politely said that wouldn’t do the job but man said he had an axe and asked for a saw. Left after a couple of hours. Said would be back with right equipment.

Got the bill. Very disappointed with how little had been done.

But I use this team for odd things like clearing poop and brambles in field so I decided I would just pay. (I’ve used them for years. Never get a job rate on basis she charges according to how much needs doing)

Last night I was out with friends and missed her saying they would be back today. In meantime VNM said he would clear the area. The couple turned up today. I shrugged and said it was my fault I hadn’t said not to bother so told them to get on but VNM said the equipment they had was not up to job and an argument followed (I was not there). They started but after about 15 minutes left

I’m not sure what to do. I’m going to pay the initial bill obviously but I’m wondering about sending extra to cover fuel costs for turning up. Usually I wouldn’t but I might want to use them again. I’ve used this team on and off for years

Or am I being a bit people pleasing and just avoiding conflict???

My initial reaction is you are people pleasing.

When they came back today they knew what the job entailed and what equipment they should bring but failed to, that was their choice.
