    I enjoy working for myself in a family business, being busy and painting/ repairing cars, always trying to improve and recently learning paintless dent removal which is fooking hard but it will pay off if I keep practising.

    I'm on the count down to the weekend as its my birthday Saturday and friends are coming up and out. Selling bits in the garage is funding running and tuning the 5 this year and I fly to NY on the 13th with my better half, Sister-in-law and her boyfriend (one of my best mates) as my wife bought me tickets for Christmas...........GOOD TIMES.

    Oh and when I looked out the window this morning, I got straight back into bed cos we had an inch of snow and I knew I could blag going into work late

    We have a pet cat we rescued from an un-loving home. Shes 5, called Kat (lol) and is very affectionate. She makes me happy knowing she loves our family as much as we love her.

    I'd post a nice note to my better half, but the chances of her reading it on a Renault Forum are slightly against me.

    I'll post it on the "how do I get my husband out the garage" forum

    Hey if cheesy makes us smile then im all for cheesy.

    Today I woke up to the sound of My girls squabblingover the breakfast table. Most would think thats a bad thing, not me. Just being able to hear them, seeing thier lil personalities develop, its all good

    This morning i am thankful for Coffee, Lemsips and a Wife that makes me my pack lunch.

    Well where to start.....
    Had issues with the tax man & companies house resulting in massive fines, that seems to be sorted now (fingers crossed). The wife & I were on the verge of splitting up just after christmas as well, that also seems to be sorted now, my kids are healthy & happy, & I have an Evo 5 sitting out the front of my house now.... what more could I ask for (maybe a bit more money I suppose)

    Nah man nothing to do with GOD, and the mrs is athletic in the bedroom.

    The thread is suposed to just remind us that there are things to be happy about no matter how bad, Work, the weather, or the price of Renault spares is.

    Today I picked up a fish bowl a friend had given me to use for some fish another friend is giving to my little girls. Basically they have been given some pretty cool chinese fish. Just because they are my kids. Thats cool.

    Good friends and great little girls.

    Yep Me again, if you have anything positive to say about anything, or if you want to express gratitude simply for your life this is the place to do it.


    This morning i am thankfull for my growing business.

    I'm interested in it. Thats a good start. Although I know I have a great deal to learn, not just about the industry but business in general, I am confident.

    I could do with a few more staff that i cannot afford but hey ho. Its all on the up.
