Sorry Aaron, guess you did'nt see this on the other threads...

So you all know, my Mother who was financial director for the two shops we own was taken ill with a stroke, it later transpired that she had suffered a series of mini-strokes prior to the big one that nearly killed her. Unknown by us it would appear this affected her ability to keep tabs on and process several important functions, namely paying certain taxes and some other critical payments. This coupled to the fact that there was a substantial period during which we were unable to send out invoices and statements without her has left a big gap in the cashflow. We are coping and have taken steps to work our way out of the hole we are in but keeping the family business afloat has taken priority over my out of hours forum work. For the time being I'm not taking on any work outside of what I do for R H Davey Welding Supplies as I'm working flat out trying to complete business that will pay the wages for the 15 staff members we currently employ. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by the interruption in service but I'm trying to safeguard my parents income as well as keep a roof over their heads and mine, and that's going to come first every time.

He a really good mechanic and does weld but would rather give it to someone who is 100% competent. Unfortunatly this is the 3rd repair in 14months due to p*ss poor repairs. Angry
