    As some of you know, i've been having a tough time getting work in recently.

    Well, i'm not out of the woods yet, but, I had an interview this afternoon with a rival company.

    As long as I close my company down, they want me to come on permanently with them, working to promote the listed building side of their company, dealing with clients/architects, running contracts & hopefully some hands on work as well.

    They are also taking my Boy on with me.:dbgrtmb:

    It'll be all over the Country and even up to Scotland, so watch out Jack and Dave:heehee:

          Well done Ziggy, you deserve it.:dbgrtmb:

          I haven't had any work for 5 weeks now.:(
          I did land a massive job creating a fantasy park for children from wood. Like everything though, it didn't work out as the company were just too vague over what was expected, time scales, materials etc. I was getting up at 2.00 in the morning to make myself tea, because I was getting stressed over it before it had even started. Not a promising start, so I turned it down.:(
          Today I have just spent a load of money that I don't have on tools for carving, but unless I invest in myself things just aren't going to happen.
          I'll start a separate thread about the tools.:)

            Cheers All:dbgrtmb: Need something to look forward too.

            Same here Eddie, trouble is, the bills don't stop coming in when the work dries up.

            Never known times like these, even in the 90's recession I could always find something to do.
