sparky 274 Posted January 23, 2019 Always important to smell the roses. 10 years ago a local business was selling off their two forcourts. I had a choice of the two and elected to buy where I'm at now for the reason that ultimately you'd get more houses on it. Another dealer bought the other. I more or less stuck to cars and the other bloke got into campers. He's made a fortune, an absolute fortune and could probably buy me out with cash. Meanwhile I'm still messing about with EMLs plus a few other bits and bobs and during the day looking like Steptoe. I'm on my jollys tomorrow, when I get back sadly he'd have passed away after being struck down all of a sudden by you know what. Small the roses chaps, smell the roses.

OK Justin,what was it and how long did it last for.I am on about when it should be clear as polished glass to them that your record keeping is accurate and above board,you employ a credible chartered accountant and yet they plough on and on. 10 hours ago, EPV said: Well they do say misery loves company You quoted that before,you may need to get a check up James....

Good on you Nick. I have started to take a couple of holidays and days off whilst still working 7 days when I am here. If you put in the graft to take a business off the ground then you should be able to enjoy time when you need it. I have done far to many 7-8pm viewings with timewasters and trips home from auction getting back at 2 or 3am and being back in work for 8 am the next day not to now have a bit of time for myself.
