Hello Everyone, firstly yes I am OK. I knew I hadn't been on her in a while but didn't realise exactly how long until I just logged on.
Firstly to anyone who's tried to contact me and hasn't been able to I'm sorry. As Tek alluded to I got married at the end of March which Kept us fairly busy around that time and I'll admit I didn't particularly want to pay any attention to my phone for a while. As well as that I have also been running a refurbishment job at a Veterinary practice In Wombourne (part of the Island group) since February, which means I should be there along with two others (very rarely happens) almost every week day for the best part of 5 months. Leaving Stafford at 7 and getting back at 5 then still having either other jobs to go to or materials to pick for the morning means its not normally until about 7 I have done everything I have to and can think about anything else. By this time all I actually want to do is nothing.
Also as nice as it is to have a job like that it does unfortunately mean I have very little time to do any other jobs. Which is a problem for me as I do have other customers who I do regular work for and as such have to find time for them when they need me. Because of this I decided early on in the job that I wasn't going to take on any more work until September unless it was for someone who I had done a lot for in the past. I know this will be damaging to me in one way but if I don't do this it would mean I wouldn't be able to spend the time I need to concentrating on my job at the vets which has to be my priority right now.
Basically I'm discovering how much work is involved and how difficult it can be to take on more work and keep others busy as well as yourself.
Hope that makes sense and isn't to much of a waffle.
Also I was at the vets in Stafford repairing some broken drains and have nothing to do with the work at the pub. Im told it will be an Indian.
