Good morning all.
I hope you are all well.
Super early post from me today as today is the day of the start of a new venture.
I have to be in work at 6am to carry out a full stocktake and then after that the franchised business that I work for will then be under new ownership.
Me and my Mum have gone into partnership together, so from about 10am ish today I will be self employed,eeeeek :D
Anyhoo I am sure a lot of you had already guessed but there you are, that is the news.
It has taken so long with various things cropping up, we started the process at the end of February but finally we are here.
We will need a few weeks to settle in, we know the day to day running as my Mum has been the manager for 16 years but we still have a few things to learn :s
Some friends and family still do not know yet so please could I ask that no-one mentions it on my facebook, pretty please.
Thankyou.
Anyhoo lets get on to why you are here, a card.
