Quite right, too.
I also would never have worked for anyone else once i'd worked for me.! :)
We had an esoteric goods retail shop, a bookshop and a fossils, crystals and gemstones outlet. But the real money came from inherited properties (both of us), good investments and my telecoms consultancy and oil research work.
What sort of shop is yours ?

My shop is called: BluBird Studios (slight plug) but if you fancy having alook or giving a 'like' that would be appreciated. www.facebook.com/blubirdstudiosnorthallerton ;)

It's a Design & SignMaking Studio. We offer everything design all the way through the advertising & brand identity.

Sounds like you had a variety of shops here. Must of been hard to keep on top of them all but as you say all worth it in the end. Congratulations. Nice to hear that from an idea, to been successful & to enjoy the lifestyle you live now. That's all I would like to achieve.

brilliant:) , it's great to have someone on board with a little fire. as the business grows (which it WILL) sounds like you have a good right hand man to keep pushing forward:)

Thank you. That's what I hope. I'm one to pay a good living wage with added bonuses. I'm one to look after my staff as they in the end are helping me. Works both ways & at the moment very grateful with how things are working out.

Had a quick peek, but i'm not on Facebook, so it won't let me like it.
Looks good though, wishing you much success.
It's hard, but fun, was working 362 days a year for a while.

Hiring staff was a killer!
Loved to do it, but all the tax and insurance you pay, on top of wages, was quite a chunk out of profits.

Doughnuts for staff never a bad idea.
Yep, a good day.:)
Yep, worrying about, Lyn.
Plans for the evening ?

Evening all

I think the most likely explanation is that Lyn has been having a wonderful time on holiday somewhere... probably somewhere with a lousy internet connection.

She'll be back at school next week, so if she's back then she's probably snowed under with prep for the new school year.

As for me... Mum's had a good day and I even got a proper meal in her this evening :) Unfortunately it is quite likely with Labyrinthitis that she'll have another attack, but we have to hope it's not so severe.
