Had the last 2 days off to visit Rum, Mellow and the dentist.

Went back into work today, and my desk had been taken by someone, and I wasn't really looking forward to working as I am not keen on the place I am at, or the job.

So I handed my notice in this morning after chatting to the boss and telling him my plans. I will now be concentrating on getting the business up and running properly - Kreature Design.

So for all the people on here that I am doing work for, you can expect a huge increase in productivity, as I no longer just have the evenings to work but all day. You know who you all are, and the sites will now be up and running much quicker than planned.

And remember, if you know of anyone that needs any design doing, websites, logos, banners etc etc you know a man who can.

Cheers all, and Mellow thanks for the words of encouragement and honesty.

Good on you...

Hope it all goes well...

Did you manage to sort the problems with the air filter, mind you, you sound a bit too busy to be worrying about it

Big ba££s mate, that's all it takes to succeed and you've shown that many time before.

I for one look forward to both our businesses growing together.

Well done

P.s; You've no excuses now for not attending all the meets.....coz you're the bossman

Very true Mellow, hadn't thought about that

Cheers JGM - I cant decide whether to keep the filter on or not. I like the noise, but it has really sapped the low down power, and seems to struggle a bit. Saying that, my K&N spray oil had stopped working, so after I cleaned it, I cut the can open and poured the oil on the filter. Maybe it is just too thick on there at the mo. May try cleaning it again at weekend. Still for £25 it matters not.

Dave - just means more petrol to play with for the weekend - and my drive to work was crap, over six large speed bumps in an MR2

With regards the site, I should have it up soon, now I have more time. I have had to hold off designing the new site yet to get my other client sites done.

Should be up soon though, and I will post it on here.

Surely with blatant advertising like that you would be after a banner ad?

Well done mate Less than a week since I asked you if you were packing the day job in.

I can vouch for this guy's talents as he built my company's website. See for yourselves..

www.westoncommunications.co.uk

And Simon. Just think, this time next year you'll be a millionaire

All the best.

Et Voila ( but change the curly brackets to square brackets)

{url=http://www.westoncommunications.co.uk} Westons {/url}

So you can basically put what you want in between the tags, such as

Furry Cup
