Post by: David Salkeld on January 17, 2012, 10:28:30 am

1.  MAN FLU..........
need I say more............OK

2. Freezing

3. (real reason!!)  Been in a bit of a pickle the past few months and need to sort a few things out.  Last night my wife, who is defenately "the woman behind the man behind the wheel", told me to "Take the day off and SORT IT!!!"  So here I am in our Wetherspoons sorting it..... :-\   With MAN FLU ::) ::)

OK....Pickle is:

Over the past year it's been a bit like wading through treakle!!

2010 I set out a plan to expand to the VAT limit and take on an emloyee so that when I go on holiday the job doesn't stop.

On paper this was great.........

After last December Jan, Feb and Marck 11 things were going to plan....I had a good chap who worked like mad.  Earned good money but I had a few call backs and he was stuborn and would only do the job his way!
He left end of March and I took on a good honest lad.  But it means I have to push the job and be "boss".
Things went steady till I went on Holiday in August.  He had problems and didn't do too well.  That put the work behind and we havn't realy caught up.  OK I don't have any debts, I have managed OK but I am dissapointed and find my drive hard.
Now the lad is having a major operation (a condition I knew about) and will be off for 6 months from March onwards
The immediate problem (I am sorting now) is my accounts havn't been done since July (OK up to Sept now).  I know they are not good so that has put me off doing them! 
But I need to take the bull by the horns and sort them out then make a short term plan till 27th Feb (Ian leaves) then a 6 month plan until he (hopefully) comes back.  Don't get me wrong, Ian is a good honest, working lad if he can get himself sorted I know I have a good worker.  But in the mean time.........................?!?!?!

Thanks
David
