    I have found a way of taking some of the pressure off starting my business. It’s very painful but I’m sure it will work.
    I know this isn’t sign related strictly but I wanted to share my pain with people, a problem shared blah de blah blah.

    Well it’s in this weeks MCN and someone is coming over later to view it. Talk about mixed emotions.

    Damn I must mean it with this business idea, first time without 2 wheels since I was 18. 🙁

    (note for Rob, the board isn’t letting me upload an image, the option isn’t there…just a poll option. So I’ll link the image to my own space for now)

    Don’t do it OD. It’s not worth it.

    I know I know its horrible, the main reason it has to go though is that my main source of income for the last 8 years as just decided to stop using me. Lovely, I was on a long term contract with Dixons doing there POS (fun), they are based in Hemel but since I moved to Nottingham I have been trying to build up some work here so I can move away from Dixons. I started by reducing my days down there, no problem. Then since Christmas they have been telling people not to come in from one day to the next, and now they have told almost all of us (about 25 freelancers) not to come back till the end of May.

    Now Im not too bad cos I have been planning for this, but still I havent had anything from them since January (about a weeks work since then). Hence the pressure to get going up here some more. So the cash from the bike will come in handy to get some basic supplies in and also it will pay the bills for a while, I havent ridden it for ages and there is no point having cash tied up in that while Im struggling at the moment.

    Mind you when things pick up, its first on the list….another bike.

    When I started I used my Van for Courier work in between jobs. Couldn’t you do the same with the bike?
