Default Been away for a while

Hi peeps,

As some of you have probably noticed, Ive been unreachable for the past 10 days or so. The work load over the past 5 months has really taken its toll on both myself and the missus. I hadnt realised how much id neglected her, working long hours everyday of the week until it was too late and i arrived home to find she had gone and taken nearly everything with her. Ontop of that iv had the stress of trying to catch up on the backlog of work without rushing anything. It got to the point where i felt so low, i couldnt even drive to work without stressing about what needed doing before i got there.

After a short break from everything iv taken stock of everything and im back at work feeling a little better about things, the order book is gradually getting smaller so i should be fully caught up within the next fortnight or so.

I see my inbox is full, iv also got to sift through tons of unread emails this evening so il read through all my messages and get back to at some point over the weekend (which ill be taking off to work on my own car, get pissed and watch the grand prix, oh and try to get the missus to come home )

Many regards

Nathan

Its called being self employed in modern england, spend all day spinning plates while running with your shoelaces tied together. A guy I know once said self employed is like eating shxt sandwiches, the more bread you you earn the more shxt you have to eat. About right really.

Welcome to the joys of being self employed! When things get on top of me with work and the problems that it causes at home with my Bi-polar wife who has mobility problems I find that it's best to share the problems with every body, then pull my finger out and get on with sorting it all out.

Seems like anybody linked with supplying parts for the Haynes Roadster is cursed.....
Well I hope you get your personal problems sorted and just remember "you can't live with them and you can't live without them"....
Take some time out, anybody on here will understand.
Remember you've gone from a Haynes Roadster being a hobby to being a buisness.
Step back and take a deep breath, if parts are late so be it, along as the quality is there nobody will complain.
So all I can say is "Chin up" and do whatever shes says....LOL
