Hi Richie.

I still don't know if I should post this or not - I've written it and deleted it several times already today.

I don't want to be a killjoy, but why are you wanting to up and move? Fancy a change isn't a good enough reason to build a future on IMHO.

Unfortunately when moving, we are inclined to take our baggage from our previous 'life' with us. Added to that the stress of relocation is never easy and sometimes makes matters even worse; (its sounds good to begin with because the 'grass is always greener on the other side.')

Starting in a new environment can be good, but usually it's only successful when one has achieved a goal and then wants to close that chapter and open a new chapter in their lives. Moving to another area is going into the unknown even if we know people in the new area.
My experience is from moving to a new country several times in my adult life. The last move was from South Africa to here.
The wife felt for her and our children's safety in that crime ridden country, but I felt she over dramatised her fear. 18 years on I still haven't closed that chapter in my life yet, although I know I'm too old to reopen it - and mentally that's still hell for me and probably will be for the rest of my life.

Only a few months ago you were at 6's and 7's with life, everything was getting you down - to me you seemed very depressed - untrustworthy staff etc. Then things seemed to pick up

http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=136791.0

But it appears to me that the problems are still there. My advice would be to try to get your current 'demons' sorted.

I don't know how you would do that. My first thought would be to streamline your business to give you enough work that you can cope with on your own and sell the rest off including excess equipment. However, my son is suffering from depression at the moment, and working in my company does him the world of good. If he goes out on his own he gives up and goes home after cleaning a few houses.

So maybe you could employ a young, trustworthy person to be a companion foremost and assist with the equipment etc secondary.

Anyway, this is meant in the best way possible so please don't take umbridge at it.

Whatever you decide, I wish you everything of the best.
