    Default well no time now

    I am now unemployed from my mortgage job!
    Another door closes another one opens
    SHMBO has directed me to startup the internet business again selling scrapbook supplies, This will enable me to build shelving, organising scrapbooking supplies etc, But the drawback is I have to do all the housework as she works 50 hours a week!
    So starting Monday I have will have no spare time, But i get to play in the workshop for a bit, i suspect lots of pallet timber will be consumed for a while until we make our fortune on the internet again.
    Gaz......

    Welcome to the forum. Get the house work done first and do not bring the dust into the house as that will mean more work for you on the cleaning.
