Hi

I'm having a stressful day and just wondered if you could remind me why we chose to have our own businesses? Why don't we give it all up to lead a stress free life working at the local supermarket?

Hayles :wink:

I know how you feel Hayles, but looking at the miserable faces of the cashiers while I have been out today, I suppose it's stressful for them. Especially when they have to sit there with reindeer antlers on their heads looking total pllocks!

Nic :wink:

Hey Tom- we are so alike... two megolomaniac psychologists. If only there were more of us, we could rule the world with Dr. Phil.

Well I do my business as a hobbie! I still of course work fulltime!

My business would have to expand by 400% to cancel out my salary, but slowly I'm getting there!

Hah, I probably won't be getting anything. My dad and I don't buy each other anything for Christmas anymore, as our birthdays are close to Christmas we just buy 1 present, although we both still agree that birthdays are a waste of time too.

I've already got an iPod And if I bought a PSP, I wouldn't have much of a business left. I also just feel if there's something I want, I'll buy it for myself, so not a lot worth getting me for Christmas. Unless anyone happens to want to buy me a Trek Madone 5.9 SSLx?

Now I just sound miserable, but I don't have a girlfriend, kids or anyone close to me that cares about it. Childhood is long gone

I see, so your plan is to make people think that you are crazy, so that they feel sorry for you and buy into your business?

Interesting idea, but I have heard enough and I feel that there are fundamental flaws in your business proposal. I will not be investing with you today.

I am out!

:wink:
