    MrsF was going to do that, with a friend. I offered to buy a stake in the business as a silent partner, because they had no startup money or anything like that.

    Then the friend decided that she wanted to have more children to fill her sad, empty little life instead, so it all fell apart. We also don't live in an area where it would take off.
    I had a private catering company with a mate, mate decided to b*gger orf to Devon to live the good life and I couldn't get another partner to buy in.

    That's the reason I ended up contracting.

      We buy freezy pops in bulk and then the girls have those instead. MrsF and I buy whatever is on special in the supermarket for us and have them when the children aren't around!
      Make your own ice-cream, way cheaper and you can get the kids to help.

        We could do that, but I'd have to take the ice cream maker off the shelf and out of the box. It's never been used - too much like hard work

                It's time to tidy the study - new desk is on order, but won't be here until the 21st, which gives me time to do some sorting and filing first.

                It's been about 18 months since anything got filed away

                  I had to buy a new shredder last weekend for similar reasons.

                  Oh, and everyone.
