Sent a proposal to a possible new client last week - one that would be life changing if they say yes. Been crapping myself every time an email comes through for the last week in case it's from them. Turns out they never received the original! Resent, now have to wait until Monday. AAAAaaaarrrrggghhhhhhh

Off for a ride in the sun to calm down.

top tip

when sending such important emails, follow up with a phone call to ensure they have received it and to tell them to call if they have any questions...

good luck 🙂

They're not someone who are easy to just call M_F. They apologised for not seeing the first email, having now found both - they're now pondering the proposal on a long haul flight. I'll know on Monday. Whilst I will be helping improve what they do, it will be my life that is changed for the better. I really am shatting myself.

I'm staggered that the OP's life could be changed for the better. Best of luck all the same. 🙂

No, but do you need me to run through the grammar on that?

That's probably due to not eating properly. Have you considered looking at your diet? Try cutting back on the carbs perhaps 😉

Mmmmmmmmm! Uncaught trout, the most succulent trout money can't buy.

Hope you do find you've hooked it on Monday.

Just spoke to them. Another meeting on Monday, which means it's 'not no' so far. Feel a bit sick thinking about it.

Another meeting means they're happy with the initial proposal but just need to clarify/modify..

Hope you don't get "trout pout"

they all use neutrino mirrors that point forward, heated by the rays of tomorrows rising sun.

it's all a bit much at the minute as i kind of got myself into a shit or bust situation. I mean shit and bust, or a deal. so if it's a no, then i'm a bit ****ed short term. a bit like greece.

iDave - it's come to my attention that you need a [s]money grabbing[/s] highly skilled accountant.

e-mail is in profile.

Molgrips, I hear you, it kind of 'just happened', but have a couple of standby things, just more mundane.

TSY - YES, actually I really do need a [s]corruptable[/s] skilled accountant.

I'm so [s]corrupt[/s] professional it's unbelievable... I've even got a certificate or two.

Not going to be able to make the etape on Sunday. You got any other rides planned soon?

iDave, do you want me to pass the books onto TSY then?

They need another few days in the slow cooker.

Darcy - I'm guessing you need a financially astute friend to find a better thing to do with your cash than shoving it under floorboards?

So, still no definite answer, but some other good stuff going on, so will be fairly [s]happy[/s] solvent soon, and the big deal might still happen...

Bloody stressful this self-empoyed lark.

BigJohn was wrong but I did see Bruno Senna on Weds......
